All good things come to and end. Never before have those words rung more true. With less and less time remaining during my summer vacation (if you can call taking summer classes a vacation), I’m forced to stop maintaining this blog.

As a graduate student, I’ll be returning to school in a about a week and will be taking on an internshyip on top of that. Needless to say, I’ll have my hands full.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has read my blog from the beginning. Your loyalty has been truly touching. I would also like to thank my newer readers, because the fact that you flocked to my site eventually is a sign that I have been doing at least a few things right. I know the things people do on their spare time are things that they like to do, and so the fact that people chose to read my postings is sincerely touching.

With that, I’m forced to admit that I won’t have the free time necessary to maintain this blog, as whatever time I do get to myself during the next few months, I’ll probably spend sleeping or spending with my girlfriend.

It’s been a quiet few weeks (news has come out that a member of Fall Out Boy was arrested, but seeing as I always avoided writing tabloid-style journalism, I’m definitely not going to start now on the verge of ending this blog). In that sense, I am forever grateful that I get to dedicate a whole blog post to saying thanks to my readers. Considering that it has been a news-packed summer, with Michael Jackson’s passing, all the news surrounding Akon and his sick site HITLAB.com (check it out!), and the april-fool’s-esque new that Joel Madden is set to release his memoirs. Anticipating another flurry of news sooner or later, I’ll gladly take this break to say my goodbyes. With that,

Peace out (hopefully not forever),
M.C.
