Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."- Thoreau

It is time to end this blog.

Why? For too long I have treated work like it was everything and then it became everything. I'm not quitting. I want to make the world a better place. But I've always used work as my excuse to not exercise, to not find love, to not do anything. I have let so much go and must reclaim it. I'm starting with my health and working forward.

Thanks to all my loyal readers. I hope that I brightened your days. It's been fun. I have talked about everything from getting demoted to japanese toilets and getting my ass sprayed by water. I gave you my thoughts on food, rules to live by and my endless random nonsense thoughts. I have enjoyed sharing a bit of myself with you all.
