I’m really leaving this time, I swear!

Posted on Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 10:13 pm

As I was writing the welcome post on the new site, lyrics from a song came to me. A song which, I think, sort of sums up how I feel about this whole site closure thing.

This is really it, then. This is my farewell. This is my farewell to Se7enet, and to all of those who have visited and followed throughout the last eight years. Goodbye, all of you. Thank you for all the good times. Of course, it doesn’t have to be goodbye for you. The only real goodbye, here, is between me and Se7enet. And as I write this, I am sort of just now realizing exactly how hard that goodbye really is. When I posted the thing this morning, I wasn’t really thinking about it… I was just… posting. Now I’m kind of tearing up a little bit. Because this time it’s more real, somehow.

Anyway, I better get this over with, before I lose it. It’s kind of ridiculous, really. I’m a grown man, and this is just some stupid website. It’s not like it’s my kid or anything, right? And yet, here I am, wiping my stupid eyes.

Thanks again, everyone. You have no idea how much you’ve meant to me.

Neverset – The Last Hardest Thing

I’ve got something to say
And I hope you take the time to listen
My words get in the way
You can blame it on me if it eases your pain

‘Cause I’m tired of holding on
I can’t do this alone you know

The first hardest thing
Is for me to walk away
But I’ll keep moving on
To get where I need to be, so don’t look back at me.

There’s nothing left to say
I can’t be the man that you want me to be
Our hearts want different things
Now the hard goodbye just got easier for me

‘Cause I’m tired of holding on
This time I’ll do it alone, you’ll see

The first hardest thing
Is for me to walk away
But I’ll keep moving on
To get where I need to be, so don’t look back at me.

All the lies that you told
And the secrets you hold
Sleepless nights all alone
All rolled into one
I said I wouldn’t leave
You should have believed
I can not get over what you did to me

The first hardest thing
Is for me to walk away
But I’ll keep moving on
To get where I need to be, so don’t look back at me.
The last hardest thing
Now that we both parted ways
Is to ask for forgiveness
And not to look back at me
And that’s the last hardest thing.

Yeah that’s the last hardest thing.

It’s all good. After all, this was your baby and that archive list would have needed a scrollbar if kept alive any longer.

Best of wishes to you and your beautiful family.

So are you just closing the site, or bringing it down?

For the moment, I’m just no longer updating anything. At some point in the future I will probably 301 the whole thing to my new site, but I don’t really have any definite plans for that any time soon.

You know, you should just find a site, and stick to it.
