All alone and abandoned
Grandad June 6th, 2010
I have been giving a little thought as to what to do with this site in my absence.
Not much thought – just a little thought.
About two second’s worth.
I don’t know how long I shall be away for. I have booked a place for a week, so it will be at least that long. Maybe I may contemplate staying a bit longer. It all depends on whether the weather is nice; if I can find decent accommodation that doesn’t object to dogs, pipes or drunken wives or if I feel like it. So I maybe away for a week. Or two. Or three. Or fuckit I may decide to stay permanently.
One way or another, this site ain’t going to be updated.
I don’t know what will happen. I imagine people will just quietly forget about it, and gently remove it from their readers or their bookmarks or whatever. I will come back to a site that is only found by people looking for ‘senior citizen porn’ or ‘I need sex every hour’ [yup – had someone use that at four this morning. I wonder how they got on?].
I did toy with the idea of writing a series of little articles and preloading them, but these days I have enough trouble finding something to write about once, let alone seven or eight times.
I thought about republishing some old posts, and even went so far as to look for some good ones. Couldn’t find any. Fuck that for a game of soldiers.
I did think about asking someone to write a guest post or two, but who the fuck would want to bother? What would anyone gain by writing on this site [apart from fantastic publicity and prestige]?
So it looks like it is just going to be abandoned.
Like an old building, it will slowly crumble, the roof will fall in and trees will grow where the About page once stood.
I shall return to a ruin. There shall be dust where once there were tears and laughter. There shall be a pile of bricks where once stood a proud wall of HTML. Weeds shall be growing where there was once a magnificent banner image.
And I shall probably laugh.
