A year ago, if I posted a blog on this site, it would get 200 views.\u00a0 That was down from the 500 or so views I would have gotten on MySpace a year before that, but still okay.\u00a0 Six months ago, that average viewcount was down\u00a0 to 80.\u00a0 In this last week, I posted what I thought was my best Tour d\u2019Joko in a long time and a uke video that was better than average for me.\u00a0 Each blog got under 50 views.<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m leaving FriendBurst because there\u2019s no more audience here.\u00a0 Roscoe and D Lemur comment on my blogs, and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 My thanks to them,\u00a0 but relative to how much effort I put into what I produce, I\u00a0 need more.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll go the way of Billy Skribbler, *Joe*, Stewd,\u00a0 Mrs Clayton, World B Free, John Sawyer, Mango Chutney\u2026 too many others to name\u2026 and make my exit.<\/p>\n

First,\u00a0 I will depart with a little bit of a different compilation video.\u00a0 In these vids, I take random clips from my library of vids, set them to a piece of music I like, and click the \u201cmake video\u201d button on Pinnacle Studio.\u00a0 This time, I\u2019ve done it a little differently, in honor of the end of the month of March.\u00a0 All of these clips come from March<\/strong>, 2007 to 2012.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Oh.
\n
\nApril fools! <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going anywhere. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, the blogs in this place have been decimated.\u00a0 But it\u2019s not like I\u2019ve got an audience established anywhere else either.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to say the friendships I\u2019ve built here are so important that I\u2019d never leave, but several people whom I\u2019ve thought were those kinds of friends have departed without any ceremony.. So there we are.<\/p>\n
