The end of an epoch

It’s with great regret and sadness that I must announce that Simon’s Mind will be shutting down all operations, permanently, and this will be my final column. I would like to say that I had a good run, but unfortunately I didn’t, and that’s the sole reason for the cessation. Outside of the fact that my ratings were lower than an episode of The Hills, no one seemed to be able to understand or appreciate what Simon’s Mind was all about. Why are you so bitter? Who is Simon Drasle? I thought your name is John. Why do you write about sports so much? Why do you say “guy” and “dude” so much? And so forth and so on.

I spent countless hours pouring my heart and soul into trying to create a monumentally mediocre blog that 38-39 yr. old males, who like heavy metal, sports, and knitting could enjoy. But alas, the messages of acerbity, pointlessness, nonsense, and self-inflating rhetoric seemed to have fallen on blind eyes and the recoil has left me exhausted.

On top of this, I just lost my job as a nurse, rendering me unable to afford the monthly bandwidth bill. So even if I wanted to keep this blog up and running; nope. I am, however, not opposed to handouts and charity, so feel free to paypal me as much money as you can spare, monthly. Seriously, I just lost my freakin’ job, now’s not the time be a stingy troglodyte. But to the apathetic groans of all of my 1.5 loyal readers (I only consider myself a .5 of a fan due to the conflict of interest), thanks and goodbye…………
