No More Funky Brown Chick
Ahhhh, where do I start? Well, I guess I should start by saying that this will be the last post on the Funky Brown Chick. Believe it or not, I’ve decided to end my blog. When I originally started blogging, I expected to keep this going for at least a year. So, technically, I’m not supposed to stop until late May / early June, right? But, you know what? I’m tired of it. I’ve had enough. So, this is goodbye. This is a long post, but please read it in its entirety so that I can give each and every one of you a proper farewell.
Here’s the deal: I don’t know what to blog about anymore. The Funky Brown Chick is supposed to be a form of therapy for me, but all it has turned into is either (a) a place where I always bitch and moan about my fucked up NYC dating life or (b) some sick and twisted Cyber Shrine to Paul Walker. Besides, above and beyond the boredom / writer’s block, I need to stop blogging because I’m simply not used to all of this daily typing. My fingers are starting to swell a little bit. I. NEED. MY. FUCKING. FINGERS. I don’t want to do any permanent damage so it’s best to stop now.
The decision to stop the blog was a hard one, but not a rash one. This is something that I’ve been thinking about for quite a while. I finally decided that the time to end it had come when I realized that the blog was igniting new mental problems for me. Come on, now. Let’s be honest: if you read this blog on even a semi-regular basis, you’ve witnessed my mental decline first hand. Remember the post about my fake album? Clearly I’m loony, off my rocker and downright goofy. All the lights are on, but nobody’s home except for the little midgets running around in the back yard.
So, before I go, I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you that have read my blog, the Funky Brown Chick, over the past 9 months. It’s been a great ride, hasn’t it? Take care of yourselves out there in Vancouver, Texas, Tennessee, Australia, Alabama, Chicago, Georgia, London and all of the wonderful other places from which the members of the Stolie Nation hail. Be well. Think of me often. Oh, and, um … Happy April Fool’s Day! See you kiddies on Monday when we’ll be back to the regularly scheduled program here at the Funky Brown Chick.

Stolie,
On behalf of myself and the rest of your readership I hereby sentence you to 3, that’s right, THREE additional years of blogging.

Hey I really believed you there for a moment! Don’t scare me like that!

Congrats! You are the only one in my RSS feeder that has celebrated today’s holiday. I was expecting many, many more. I guess I should wait for more people to wake up and nurse their hangovers first.

oh – you got me also! Which I’m surprised at because I woke up thinking – ah April Fools Day… mmmm…. what tricks can I play?
You beat me to it.!!
I’m very happy to hear that it was a joke…
April 1st, 2006 at 2:07 pm
Got me. Bitch. And you’re right about the mental decline.
April 1st, 2006 at 4:20 pm
Damn you. You had me. Even though I’m thinking “she never seemed crazy to me and I don’t know how typing one little daily blog entry is hurting her poor little fingers.’”
April 1st, 2006 at 4:25 pm
Ha ha ha, you thought you had me going there didn’t you? I sussed you out though. Come on!
April 1st, 2006 at 6:20 pm
Noo!
Damn I can’t believe I fell for that. You’re awful!
It made me realise how much I liked reading your blog…(blush)

Hi – I’m a lurkerholic.
For the past few days I have enjoyed reading your blog .. you’ve been my lil ray of sunshine.
May I add you to my favs?
Bexxie :o)
PS. You had me going for a moment .. once my tears dried up and I continued reading .. I felt glad to be the fool.
April 2nd, 2006 at 1:40 am
Oh yeah…you had me too. Good one!
April 2nd, 2006 at 9:33 am
Oh, I didn’t believe you for a second! Biotch!
(ok, maybe I did…but just for a second!)
April 2nd, 2006 at 9:37 am
Wow, that was painful. But in a good way…Plus when I read Raymond’s comment, I thought he sentenced you to 3 spankings.
April 2nd, 2006 at 10:53 am
You tricky little devil! ;P
Now about that Paul Walker cyber shrine…..
April 2nd, 2006 at 6:52 pm
Ha-ha! I knew it…all I had to do was look at the date of the post. hmm, quite coincidental, eh? You can’t stop blogging! You need us. LOL
April 3rd, 2006 at 12:15 am
Copycat! Just kiddin’.
I love you more than my luggage ya know!
Glad you were playing a joke. I was gonna have to book my flight to NYC to slap you in person.
LOL!
Mwah!

EVIL STOLIE!
You had me — I was getting all teary. If you go, who will I have to idolize as the blogger I most want to be when I grow up? Whose mental decline will I get to compare to my own? Who’s vivacious dating life will I follow vicariously?
HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?! MUAAAHHHHH…
HEHEHEHEHE…Ditto Raymond — I think you should get THREE more years of blogging for pulling that one on us!

Raymond, ESQ: *3* YEARS?! :)
Guri: YAY!!! I actually fooled someone on April Fools Day.
Howard: Yeah, I was surprised that move people didn’t celebrate as well.
ET: Okay, make that *2* that I’ve fooled. :)
MamaChristy: Simmer down. No need to call me names. You know I love you, my cutie. I wouldn’t leave you so quickly.
JohnJEnright: YAY!!! I’m really happy that the joke worked!! :) … And, I’m also happy to know that there are people out there that think I don’t seem crazy. :)
Nics: Dammit! I had hoped that I would fool everyone.
Darwin: I’m glad that you like the blog. And, no worries. I’m not going anywhere. :)
Bexxie: I *LOVE* it when people de-lurk themselves. WELCOME to the blog. Stay a while. Kick your shoes off. Come play with all of the other folks. It’s a fun and supportive environment here. :) The readers of this blog, the Stolie Nation, are fabulous! You’ll grow to like everyone very quickly.
Mel Chickk: THANKS!!
missbhavens: Aww sookie sookie now … looks like somebody’s a little angry. Wow, you guys really didn’t like my AFD joke did you???
ErikWithaK: I don’t get spanked, but I do spank freely. :)
Hanuman: Yes, I promise. There will be more Paul Walker Cyber Shrine in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

Tonito Bandito: And, I love you more than my breakfast!! :)

THAT WAS F-ED UP…lmao
April 3rd, 2006 at 9:37 am
Glad you like it!!! I try my best, you know. :)
April 3rd, 2006 at 3:00 pm
Yeah, that’s right. 3 years.
Surely you don’t think we’re going to let you assume some sort of normal responsible life, do you?
B-O-R-I-N-G…
April 4th, 2006 at 3:25 am
That’s a looong time.
April 5th, 2006 at 9:35 am
I’m chalking it up to the fact that I seem to have a lousy sense of humour these days, but you got me. I second Raymond – you’ve hereby been sentenced to three more years. May there be long and as interesting as the last nine months.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:40 pm
Awww, THANK YOU sweetie!!! :)
