Not quite dead yet

I was originally planning to shut down the blog.

In fact, it was already done. Done and dusted. Over and done with. RIP.

No special reason why I'd shut it down. But then again, there was no real reason to keep it up anyway. I'll just be taking up virtual space, akin to being on virtual life support; a shell, lifeless, soulless, wth no reason for its existence.

In maintenance mode, that's what it'll be in. Without the inspiration and the energy to give birth to that little something something, the blog is lacking the sparkle and the punch that makes it worthwhile to keep it "live". I'm not sure at which point did the energy dissipate and the fire lose its warmth, and now it's just bland and dull and spiritless. Where did all the spunk from before go?

I don't know. And it was too much energy to try to find out, and even more energy to try to resurrect something that has died quite thoroughly. The next best thing to do is to give it a decent burial, covered six feet under and topped with funereal flowers, for a touch of dignity.

Funny thing about life. Just when you think it's over and there's nothing left to do, something inevitably, something always, happens.

Oh you know what I mean; you see it on TV all the time.

The flat-lining of a patient on the surgery table suddenly coming beeping again.
The one who almost drowned suddenly spewing out water and starting to breathe again.
The monster whom was supposedly killed coming alive and grabbing the hero's leg.

The point is, things happen when we least expect it. And expected, it creates an unexpected outcome to the story.

Just like real life.

Just when you think the blog's done, something, someone asks for it to come back, and then just like that, it has become, if it's even possible, less dead than it was previously.

I'm not sure how the spiritless, soulless, purposeless shell will turn out, whether it will eventually revive its spirit, refill its soul and discover its purpose. In other words, I'm not sure whether the blog will re-die again eventually, or whether there'll even be anything worth reading in future. For now, it's not dead, and for now, that's enough of an accomplishment for me.

Dedicated to the one single person who wants this blog back.
