I Flit, I Float, I Fleetly Flee I Fly
Yesterday's wrap-up wasn't just for the past 12 months. It was for good. I started this blog a year ago and it's been a thoroughly lovely experiment. But I'm calling it a day. The upcoming year looks to be a very busy and exciting one for me. Also, about a month ago I said to my Significant Other, "I think I'm running out of funny. I want to go back to just observing things for the sake of observing them." He nodded thoughtfully and said, "You just want to be able to start shopping again without having to 'fess up." He knows me very, very well and it's why I'm madly in love with him. (Like Jay-Z and Jordan, I reserve the right to change my mind on a whim, especially if someone charges me too much for a veggie hotdog or unfairly tows our car and deserves public derision.)
I hope it has been half as entertaining for you to read this blog as it was for me to write it. Feel free to keep emailing me (brunchbird at yahoo dot com) and stop to say hello when you see me out on the town. And of course you're welcome to stay and rifle through the archives. Just turn off the lights when you leave please.
Sincerely,
Brunch Bird

C'mon, Bird.
Surprise me next time.
(It should be noted that I'm whuppin Etcetera in the comments of late)
You'll be missed by many, but I hope that, as a treat, you'll pop up every now and again.
Thank you for some truly enjoyable reads.
knowing in advance does not make it any less crappy.
i'm going to protest by not commenting. (this doesn't count.)
(sulking on the inside)
Well, busy and exciting and not wanting to fess up sounds like you have things to do and fun to have and maybe some guilty pleasures to indulge - I wish you luck and success as you go forth and have fun!
Congratulations on your one-year anniversary.
And for knowin' when to fold 'em.
I have enjoyed lurking and reading. I don't think you would ever have run out of funny, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
I wasn't at happy hour to hear the news ahead of time, so please excuse me if I'm a little shocked that another favorite blogger is hanging up her typing gloves. I guess the effort that it takes to keep a blog of this quality going just isn't sustainable or fun over the long haul.
Thanks for keeping me smiling over the past year. Still my favorite post: http://brunchbird.blogspot.com/2006/11/to-men-who-saved-me-from-myself.html
Aw bummer... but sounds like you know it's time for an exit. May you return back at some point in the future.
but...but...but, noooo. you can never run out of funny...
well, you will be missed. I hope you still come to the happy hours though.
In the words of Phil Collins, when Genesis split up; "It's a sad day. A very sad day."
You will be missed.
Why do you all close your blogs just when I start to read them? This is like the 3rd time this has happened.
*Sigh* You'll be missed.
I guess this means I'll actually have to get some work done now.
Dang.
Thanks for a great year, BB. A great blog (and blogger).
That's sad! I guess I have a lot of archives to catch up on ...
Tarnation! See ya around, kid! Have fun in the U.K.!
P.S. - I'm calling dibs on whatever beer is left in the fridge. Even the Stroh's.
Whatt? I started reading you blog and you're just going to give up?!
:)
At least still come to the HHs. I enjoyed meeting you at the last one. Good luck with everything!
bah the rumor was true. Well I have a feeling I will still see you around, like early may. You can't escape from the bloggers.
This is sad. You're one of my favorite reads.
And I may be holding out hope that you "change your mind on a whim" here, too. ;-)
Of course you'd do this before I planned on blogging about Bloggers who stop blogging, now it will look like my post is ALL about you.... Remeber You're so Vain"
Anyway, we'll always have, "Who want's to know"
BB OUT
poop
2007 - the year of the quitter.
I am disappointed - please continue to visit from time to time, however.
Phil, I thought I wasn't allowed back in the Playaz Compound after that whole hiding-Tom Selleck-in-the-trunk-to-sneak-by-the-gate-guard incident. Oohhh, you mean visit the blog. But of course.
Thank you everyone for your kind words. I believe in as many as three cases you're not being paid by my loved ones to write them. No, seriously, I was quite nervous upon hitting the "Publish" button for the first time last year. But I've been nothing but heartened to see that the positivity that abounds in the blogosphere so vastly outweighs the subterranean grumbling of envious nincompoops that it renders the latter merely laughable. Which is to say, thank you for being so darn nice and/or genuinely interesting every day.
A word of warning though: like your reprobate, unemployed cousin Eddie, I'll be lounging around on your blog couches now in my free time. And as such I'm going to be needing that Stroh's, Hammer, so keep your filthy hands off it.
You know, every time a blogger quits blogging, God kills a kitten.
It's science.
Truer words have not been spoken, rcr.
Bird, of course you are not allowed near our compound, but are welcome at our blog (or any other blog we like to visit, for that matter).
Hey if we get to 40 comments, will you keep going anyway?
You just ruined my day. I hope you can look at yourself in the mirror.
This sucks... But I understand. Sigh.
Damn. This sucks.
He's right about the kitten.
You will be missed.
Thanks for some really great posts.
I too will miss the blog, but I still have her near to me.
You have quite a following BB, and have made a lot of new friends. I'm proud!
Sorry to see you leave the blog world, but I think I'll take you up on the offer to dig around your archives from time to time.
Take care.
I'll see you soon. But I'll miss reading you. Alas darling, your funny will never go away.
:)
Congratulations on your graduation from blogging overtime.
I do look forward to seeing the random posts from ya though.
Talk to ya soon
Well that's surely a shitball way to start my week; my favorite blog calling it a day.
I suspect you are being too hard on yourself. Your funny has not been diminishing over time, in fact your craft has been consistently developing and becoming more appealing.
Wish you all the best but also hope you find it impossible to stay away for too long.
Damnit.
Teardrop...
I don't have your e-mail address, but I wanted to thank you and your significant other for hosting the other night! It was fun. Even though you turned off the lights and forced us out. We had overstayed our welcome, though.
Cheers, Brunch Bird! You'll be missed.
Madam, thy name is cruelty! For I have discovered this site not ten minutes ago and I am emailing to tell you that you write like a dream. So, you have an exciting year ahead of you; well yawn. With all the philanthropy of a three month old, I only demand more of your prose. I suppose I'll have to go over all your previous posts, but it won't be the same. Now, I hope you'll be earning your money writing or at least using your talent. Failure to do so will be..um...an abuse of your God given gift and I know that there a plenty of doorstepping evangelicals in your part of the world who would be only too delighted, at my commission, to go round to your front door and nag you to an early and virtuous death. You have been forewarned - or possibly even prophesied. Steven, London (London)
Well a comment like that could make a bird mull getting back in the game. Thank you Steven R.
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
It is rather interesting for me to read this post. Thanks the author for it. I like such themes and anything that is connected to this matter. I would like to read more on that blog soon.
Truly yours
Hey, let's see if we can nudge the Brunch Bird to make a comeback. Post your comments of support at...
