A Question Of Self-Pity

I’ve often wondered what would happen if I were to stop posting.

Not that I plan on giving up this website, mind you. Nor am I considering disappearing and never writing anything on the web ever again. Far from it, actually. Truth be told, I really enjoy bearing my soul for laughs to an uncaring, unseen mass of people who have nothing better to do with their lives but judge me based on my words. And all the writing I do is in the hopes that someone out there will find it in their heart to like me enough to acknowledge my existence, if only for the short moment it takes for them to type “U R fun-E” in the comments.

Which, I’m dismayed to say, no one ever has.

So don’t worry about me quitting, because that’s not going to happen. I’m no quitter. Nope. Not me. Hey, if I were a quitter I would have quit long ago. Back when quitting was the fashionable thing to do. As was sudden reappearances under different names on different websites just so the quitters could get their daily fix of adulation. Nosireebob, I’m no mindless trend follower like some people I could mention but won’t because they’re no longer on the web so mentioning them would serve no purpose except to fill my site with dead links and thus piss you off.

And yet I still wonder.

I wonder if anyone out there would actually miss me if I were gone. Would someone who reads my words on a semi-daily basis, you for example, actually shed a tear if one day TMG was nothing more than a “Page Not Found – 404 Error?” Would you send out a search party to find out what had happened to me? Would you even furrow your brow in a questioning way? Or would you simply shrug, click over to your favorite pr0n site and say, “What a loser” as you unscrew the top of your favorite lotion?

What would you do minion? What. Would. You. Do?

  1. It would PISS ME OFF if you disappeared. But you can be assured that I would hunt you down and tickle you to death.

  2. You would indeed be missed! There are lurkers out there who’d sink into terrible depressions were you to fall into a black hole. Don’t forget the lurkers!

    In all seriousness, I enjoy reading your rambles and thoughts. You’ve got good stuff going here, and you’re one of the few “personal” bloggers who’ve survived my more vicious attempts to clean up my RSS list.

  3. I for one wouldn’t miss you if you no longer posted. Mostly because I would expect then to have your words delivered straight to my inbox every morning. If you think about it, why don’t we all just do that? Save ourselves the hosting costs? Let’s all do it! Gmail can handle it. :D
