The Bad News
In the democratic process in the last post, it looks like hearing the bad news first won the popular vote. So here it is:
I will be taking a blog break.
I'll let you take a second to dry your eyes before I continue... Ready? Ok. So yeah, I'll be taking a break. I still intend to comment on other sites when I can, but I won't be posting much here for a while. For part two of the bad news - and maybe you should sit down for this one - when I do return, it likely won't be here at omarphillips.net. I may still keep the domain name, but the blog will be removed from it. That's a move I've been wanting to make for a couple of years now, but just never thought there was a good opportunity. But since I'll be on a blog break, that's a perfect opportunity. Stay tuned for details on the yet-to-be-determined new location at some yet-to-be-determined time in the future.
For part three of the bad news, I accidentally left a small dent in your car door when the wind blew my door open too far. Sorry.
Good news coming shortly. And if you already think you might know what it is (which some of you do), please don't say anything just yet!

Whoa. I'm so glad I was already seated. This reminds me of when you moved from Blogger to MT, and I mistakenly thought you would stop blogging.
But you said, when I do return. Not if. Right? Right?
My bottom lip is quivering. I'll stop now. Have fun on your blog break. Don't disappear on us, k?

1. This is not happening. I refuse to believe it.
2. I can't believe you would do this to me! How can you be so selfish?!?! (?!?! means I'm really super angry)
3. What can I do to change your mind? We can work something out, can't we? What if I start blogging more?
4. I don't even want to read the internet anymore...
5. (long drawn out sigh)Ok, I'll see you when you get back.
I think that about covers it. Can't wait to hear the good news!

I have a guess for the good news, but I won't say anything.

Still sad but looking forward to the good news, that I hope will be coming BEFORE the break, right?

I hope the good news is that I won a million dollars.
It's only fair!

hmmm. If I weren't in the middle of my own no-need-to-announce-it-cause-I-have-no-readers-anyway blog break, I might pitch a fit, but right now, I kinda feel ya. My excuse is chronic unmedicated depression. What's yours?Y'all about to have another baby?
Lauren said:
I think I guessed the good news. Or maybe it was the only reason, in my mind, that would justify a blog break.
I am too depressed, I must leave now.

I've been on a "semi" blog break this week...sometimes it's just a good thing to do!
I bet your new blog will have a great name! Okay, now I'm going to read your good news! :0
