I have had this blog since 2004, but it has not been active for over a year now. When I started out, I was a 20 year old student and I wrote about what was happening in my life almost like a diary, but one I wanted to share with friends. Over time, I've also used it to write serious pieces about the news, politics and economics, and less serious comedy writings. It is, reading back, really interesting to see how I've grown up and changed over the past 8 years. It's now 2012 and life is good - I'm 28, in an academic job I like, with a wonderful wife and a busy schedule outside of work. However, writing about this is no longer something I feel motivated to do. Clearly, this blog has come to a natural, quiet conclusion.

I continue to use Twitter (@theblackwizards), so do follow me there. I like interesting people, so say hello and I'll say hello back. We'll work out the rest later.

The one thing that I do miss doing, and have recently resolved to get back into the habit if doing, is writing things I hope are funny. I have started a new blog specifically for that purpose, which I would love if you all occasionally had a read of and tell me what you think. It's a new one because I want to divide between writing comedy and my personal life, which this blog has always been rooted in.

The new blog is here: nothingrhymeswithcraig.wordpress.com.

Love,

Craig
