It couldn’t last forever could it? I mean, the internets was going to have to die at some point, otherwise we wouldn’t grow. We’d just continue in the status quo. Last week Byron Crawford announced what is essentially the end of his website. He’s decided to leave blogging at ByronCrawford.com to people who couldn’t carry weed for Ron Mexico. I don’t mean the real Ron Mexico, I mean Michael Vick.
Except for Jimmy Valentine. That guy’s good. [ll].
Bol’s retirement from his own website kind of reminds me of Michael Jordan’s retirement after the Bulls beat Phoenix in the Finals. And then his dad got merc’ked. And then we found out that Jordan had a serious gambling problem. I’m not wishing any of these things on my internets buddy Bol, but I wonder why he would step away from the game he has mastered instead of just waiting until someone finds him dead on the toilet?
If that was good enough for the king of rock it should be just fine for the king of the internets.
But the real question is what will the rest of us do? This blog shit is awesome fun, but the pay is shittier than a truckstop watercloset. I’ve vacillated on quitting my blog several thousand times. The point is that I can’t maintain the pace that I would like and within that pace I can’t produce the editorial quality that I think y’all deserve. I would’a been done kill’d myself already except I have a horribly low tolerance to pain. But this blog is gonna have to die someday soon.
What’s left for the writers and the dreamers?
TWitter.
Dallas, don’t quit until my two youngest children reach the age of maturity. The ‘nets need you, son. Too bad about Bol, however. Probably too much white girl on the brain.
stay writing man, i read this on the daily
you can’t quit dude.
A dream deferred, @ the end of the day, is still a dream. Whatever the fuck that means.
damn did he give away the login code and password? these guest bloggers are just about as bad that one time you let dude write about lupe. i enjoyed the day a crackhead cried, but bols site kinda been poo
Once Bol said he was giving away the codes, dudes should have caught on…Mexx ain’t been dropping heat often either…(II)…although Mexx should be on radio, this is troofis.
I don’t see anything wrong with taking time off to recharge the batteries. And hell, he’s not even doing that. He says he’s working on a different writing project. I feel like he shouldn’t have opened the floodgates for the guest writers though. Or at least not so many.
His boss @ XXL should allow him to post less over there. The drops he does for them seem mailed in to meet some quota lately.
Dallas can’t quit. He thinks he can but he can’t.
yo dp i agree a lot of those posts are horrible, what you think of mine?
