and when we meet on a cloud i'll be laughing out loud

Last night I had dinner with a couple of old friends, one of whom I hadn’t seen in at least five years. When she asked how I was doing my other friend, who I see quiet frequently, answered before me and said I was, to paraphrase, unhappy with my life.
Now, I can certainly see how that might seem to be the case. On this site I tend to write only about the bad, never about the good. This constant bitching has led one person to ask, and, I’m sure, several more to think, that I should quit said bitching. I've taken that to heart, and if you’ve noticed over the past couple weeks my presence here has become rather sporadic.
It isn’t because nothing is happening. No, life is fuller and more complex than I ever imagined.There is plenty that I could share. Sure, life isn’t going exactly as I’d wish, but whose does?
So, let me set things straight right now: I stopped writing here to cease boring you with the painful minutia of my life, to end more than a year of bitching, the last several months of which have become increasingly uninteresting to read. But, while I may have put down the proverbial pen to end my list of grievances with the world and the parade of excuses for not living my life I’ve continued to stay away because, quite frankly, I’m enjoying myself much more without you.

Come on now. When I get home after a hard day, I need to read some whole-hearted bitching other than my own. So don't bitch out.

Um, yup.

Heh. I said that? I guess its because I don't really hear anything. Go figure.

Suits optional? Boots a must? MG single? Pristine single? What are you waiting for MG? (an eclipse?)

Good on ya, mg. I can't speak for anyone else, but I understand.

you were bitching? i hadn't noticed. commentary on the way the world is, isn't necessarily bitching if it's done well. ok, it's bitching, but it's entertaining bitching.
if blogs became a no-bitching zone? there would be no more blogs. at least no good ones.

glad you're having a good time, really i am. i tend to think that the more we blog, the less we're living. so i'm planning to blog more in the future.

Painful minutiae is the stuff of life, my friend. In my book, commentary and observations don't necessarily equal bitching. No one ever accused H.L. Mencken of pointless bitching, so I think you'll be OK.
I agree with kd. If blogs became no bitching zones, what would be the point? Write it and they will come....
