I’m going away. I won’t be posting on this blog any more. Yes, clapping and ululating is allowed. Enjoy yourselves. Most of my victims don’t—didn’t—outlive me.
The weblogs will have more air, more signal, less noise. And now, you will be able to discuss amongst yourselves without having to watch for that noisy thing that shows up at the party and urinates in your comment boxes, letting the spirits talk through him. Incoherence has lost, verbosity is vanquished.
You should have picked up a signal from the first paragraph of the previous post. And I’ve come to the realisation that these status thingies, like Twitter, came after the weblog, but many bloggers keep a status thingy (be it at Facebook) and a blog. Of course, went my mind, enligtened, It’s because they serve a different purpose! The people who kept asking me for shorter posts wanted a status thingy!
Blog for essays and such, status thingy for the shorter dispatches. If I’ll blog again, it would have to be with that kind of system, but none satisfies me right now, so I should be pointing to a new URL when I return, running my own contraption. It may not be until three months have elapsed, at least.
Plus I have a hard road ahead. I’m reshaping my company and tuning things here and there. I’m dealing with a huge block, and my hand won’t draw. My focus has been almost only on my rent-paying work. That’s detrimental. (Did You Know: Most of me was built for luxury.) Some music here: Bob Marley on Uprising with Coming in From the Cold.
I’ve had fun doing this. Now I’m going to surrender myself to sanity and calmness—where I’m least at home. To learn to acknowledge the Shekinah within all humanity’s breast. To carefully study the workings of apology and pardon and forgiveness. To learn to write it all but much shorter. Stuff like that.
Studying, reading, loving, writing letters by hand, thinking, drawing, et cetera. I’m going away. :o)
Exeunt.

Comrade, Cdr. Che won't be happy with you if you do what you are setting out to destroy. Sun Tzu would be disappointed and as such, keep posting otherwise, its a protest comment I am drawing but if it is a rebranding of your blogging, please don't make it so radical!
Sob sob sob
NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
Who is that Kenyan group that sings Baby Dont gooooo
My first reaction was, "Nooo!"
*But you make solid points here. Do whatever it takes to find 'your plot' again.
We'll await your return.
Salutations comrade.
We shall await your return.
21 revolver salute!
*waving*
i will miss your posts. these i left for weekends when i have the time to read and digest. now i have to find a new hobby.
Gook luck and good times!
I'm not clear, are you going to delete this blog? That makes sense to a lot of folks, so I understand good reasons to do so. On the other hand if you keep the blog up for a while, once you've created your new status thingy there's a place you can tell all of us about it.
you cant be serious!
Adios Amoeba. I have your number. Be good and all.
Go!
I will actually miss you.
I have not been commenting, but your presence was kind of, well, taken for granted.
Adieu, Communist
we'll miss your craziness in the blogsphere. can you do a last post with your twitter account?
...eventually they leave. but never are they gone.
do keep in touch, in some sort of wau.

I'm with GUG. I've been taking your blog for granted. Can't wait for that new url...
You will be back. Until then, I will miss your posts.
I wanted to point to something you wrote so I came here to see if there was still something here. I am glad there is.
The Communist finally dies
Who is going to replace the long posts, they helped in my boredom?
Am smiling at promise of the new url
BAM! I (and several other blogren) just gave you the Honest Scrap Award. Best get back to blogging, Comrade.
It was great to see a comment from you at my blog. I like Religion Dispatches, except there's a "people like us" undertone that I find odd because I'm sure I don't quite fit.
You know I can never come to the point, so my writing is such a mash.
It's cool you're looking into theology. In terms of organizing stories, clans in Uganda really interest me. I know everyone is trying to get away form the downsides of "tribalism." But the organizing myths shouldn't be cast out. Lots of things don't fit like they used to, but still have a lot of use left.
Clearly I'm not very informed and very much on the outside. Still from my perspective I can't understand why more people don't celebrate the genius for small societies in Uganda. I know I love to hear the stories.
Just been over to Mudamuli's and been reminded of how much I miss your raw expression :-(
Any chance your might, just might hurry up with the new url? :-)
I hope you'll come by to visit.
comrade.....nice meeting u yestday..hope u start writing again...pluzze for our sake!!
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. For waant of a better word. Yeah, I took you for granted. Now you're gone. Cry smiley. Ama write a song with those last two sentences. For u.
