bye blog!

Blog, we need to talk.

Blog, you know I care about you, right? Up until now, we’ve spent so many special moments together. How much time have we spent in each other’s thoughts? So many nights have I devoted exclusively to you, dear blog, just to be with you. You’ve been my companion, my advisor, my mentor, my friend, my love, my dear, dear blog. You’ve been with me in the good times and in the bad. You were my companion when I felt lonesome, you helped me relax when I was worried, I’ve shown you my most intimate secrets… and you put up with me, with my flaws, my quirks, my secrets, my passions. You were always there for me, and for this I am so very grateful to you, my dear blog.

But you know me – probably better than I do myself, so you know what is coming for us. Must I write it out loud? Oh, for Heaven’s sake, why must you make it so hard??

Blog, it’s not you. It’s me. You know, I’ve changed. We’ve both changed. During the years, while we’ve shared our precious time together, the world has moved around us, too. Have you not seen it coming? Please don’t tell me you won’t stand for it! Don’t make it harder… I’m suffering too, can’t you see?!?! We must part, blog! Each of us has chosen a different way. Neither of us would be happy to see the other live another’s life for the sake of old habit. It’s for our own good. For both of us. I have made my decision already, for I know you would not have had the courage to do it yourself. But it is done, blog. As much as we care for each other, our relationship must end here, right now, on this very entry. Do not be sad, blog… I know how you feel. I’ve been through it. But remember, just like we found each other on that wonderful day so long ago, you will find another. You will come to realize that the world is full of bloggers, and that you will share with them such wonderful times as you did with me.

As this entry ends, I should only remind you – we have only gained from our relationship, never lost. In our two years together, we’ve learned many things from each other. I take with me a part of you, and you will always keep a part of me. This is not an ending – it is simply a lowering of the tide – it will soon rise, bubbling with new experiences to share exclusively with you. And this is the way of Nature Herself.

The best of byes to you, dear blog! May you find peace and happiness from this day onward. Remember me if you will, but know that I will never forget you.

Now for the real deal. This Windows Live Spaces Blog has really become a burden to work with. My new ISP does not always have access to this site, so I cannot write whenever I want! Besides, the scripts are so sloooooow… arrrggggggh, I just HAD to change. Even now, right now, I had to postpone this last entry’s posting!! You know, I even found another guy’s blog entry describing how unconvenient Live Spaces blogging can be. And yes, it CAN be inconvenient. So I decided to migrate to Blogger. It took me about 6-8 hours to migrate the whole thing… I had to copy-paste EACH – INDIVIDUAL – ENTRY into new Blogger entries. Doing so, I was able to count my blogs, and found that I have written 106 blog entries so far. (This one is #107).

Sooooo… for anyone who may care… my new blogging site ishttp://antoniosliveblog.blogspot.com/. It contains aaaaall of the blog entries I’d posted here (except this very last one), and I expect to keep on piling more entries as my Life progresses.

bye blog! It was nice to write in you, but for several (mostly technical) reasons, you no longer fit my requirements.
