A random promo shot for Quentin Tarantinto's"Django Unchained," just one of the many things that mj15 won't be able to comment on once the blog officially wraps up in August.Good afternoon.
When I started this blog back in July of 2009, the purpose of it was simple: to provide myself with a distraction to what was then a relatively boring summer by writing my many thoughts on various different topics once a week. I enjoyed doing it, and later decided to continue from the fall of 2009 on, with the number of posts per week now ranging between 2-5 every week. I also promised myself that I will continue to write this blog so for as long as it doesn't interfere with the more important aspects of my life (school, work, etc.) and as long as my enjoyment working on this blog doesn't considerably decline. Up until recently, I can honestly say that none of these two things have happened.
However, this hasn't been the case for the past few months. Thanks to school and work increasingly filling up my time, I haven't had as many free time this year for the blog, which has led to an even greater amount of posts receiving delays (including the "End of the Months," which have been posted this year as late as twenty days after a month has ended). Secondly, my passion for this project has just not been the same as it used to be. Writing for the blog has increasingly felt more like a chore instead of something that I really wanted to do in my spare time, and as a result, my commitment into making this blog's quality the best that I possibly could has gone with it as well. Longtime readers (yes, all four of you) have probably noticed it with all the lazy "Random Thoughts" topics and "End of the Week" posts that don't even bother to give explanations for my Person of the Week choices (like this one), and I am here to say that I have, too, recognized this.
So, it is with all this in mind that I have decided to officially announce that The mj15 Blog will be coming to an end very soon, specifically this upcoming August. Why August, you ask, and not immediately? Well, for starters, August is when I will be starting my freshman year of college. Secondly, this extra time will give me a chance to post some material that I've been waiting months to do, including two annual favorites: the 4th annual Emmys predictions columns and the 3rd unveiling of the newest Hall of Fame class. After all, if you're gonna finish something, better to do it by having fun, right?
More information regarding my plans for these final days of the blog will be posted later on this week. In the meantime, here's this funny "Prometheus in a Nutshell" .gif that I found online a few days back, and welcome to what I guess is The Beginning of The End.
Sincerely,
Your pal: mj15
