Top 5 Reasons I'm Pulling the Plug on This Blog

1. That's enough lists already

It's been a year since I started this blog, and all these lists make me feel like I'm slumping to the side, ready to founder. What's the nautical term for that?

2. Time to do some different writing

I haven't written a short story or aborted novel since I started blogging. It's time to get back into the world of half-assed traditional fiction.

3. This blog fulfilled the measure of its creation

Last year, I knew that moving from Indiana to Seattle would stress me out. Instead of obsessing about my personal demons, I thought it would be good to distract myself with this blog. It worked, for the most part.

4. Time to shit-can the Top5 staff

All the bickering and infighting has gotten under my skin.

5. Time out of mind

Let me start by saying ... I promised myself I wouldn't do this ... that I appreciate each and every one of you who have taken the time ... I sincerely believe with all my heart that this wasn't MY blog; it was OUR blog!

Seriously, thanks for playing.

	SGelert发表: Bugger. Another good one down the can. Hope it goes well Bob. 7 月 31 日
	Julia发表: Hey Bob, it's been awhile (almost a year) since I blogged about working in Vermont's morgue. But, I decided to start again, mostly because I'm once again stuck in a job where I have access to the Internet and lots of time on my hands. But, I decided to write again to you when I saw that you too had moved to Seattle. I've been here about two months, quite a change from Vermont, but it's worth it! Anyway, small world! Hope to hear from you soon! -- julia newboldjulia@yahoo.com 7 月 10 日
	Secret Admirer 发表: I have a cyber crush on Michael, how am I going to remain distantly connected if you stop blogging? I enjoyed your blogs and all the infighting, very entertaining. 6 月 24 日
	Minette 发表: Okay, enough goofing around Bob. Time to start this puppy up again. In the meantime, if you're looking for some of Bob's new non-top-five-list writing, check out today's guest entry. It's goooood reading, despite some kooky-headed factual inaccuracies. 6 月 15 日
	Boz 发表: It is with great sorrow I remove this blog from my favorites. We laughed, we cried. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Good night, sweet prince..... 6 月 13 日
	Mark 发表: Best blog ever. Please consider a weekly or monthly encore. I'd even support some of your staff writing some here and there. Please negotiate after Mexico. BTW, who leaves Seattle in June and goes to Mexico? Its great up here in the Northwest - Perfect. Mark 6 月 8 日
	andreeeea!发表: Are you sure you have to go? 6 月 7 日
	John发表: well damn. I have really liked reading the top 5's on so many different issues. This was a great blog. Hate to see you go. 6 月 7 日
	A. Toad 发表: What?! Awww... Well, we, the readership, expect copies of your first novel, free. 6 月 6 日
	rtb 发表: This is the third majorly great blog going out of business this year. Phoo! I've enjoyed reading your lists and all the wildly creative comments from your biking and cyber buddies. I'll check back by every now and then. As soon as you quit doing this, ideas will flood your mind for "the best list EVER". If you decide to resurrect the Top 5 list, I'll be here! 6 月 5 日
	C.发表: You were No. 1 in my Top 5 list. Minette will have to take your place. I'll miss your humorous point of view. 6 月 4 日
	psychsarah 发表: Bob, I'm sorry to hear that there will be no more Top 5 Lists! This was my favourite blog, and I'll miss reading your humourous entries. Hopefully you'll return to blogging one day!! Take care, Sarah 6 月 4 日

	Moira发表: What a bummer. I loved this blog. Top Five list on all types of subjects, it was brilliant. I guess I'll just pop in every now and again, read your archives, and hope you've changed your mind. All the good bloggers are throwing in the towel, it bums me out. 6 月 3 日
	earl 发表: Dang, yours has been good, but you have been my link to "the others" as well, it's been interesting reading a bunch of ex-mormons.......... 6 月 3 日
	HarrisMichael发表: Another good blog gone. If you ever put you fiction on the web let us know 6 月 2 日
