Cerebral Misfire...Signing Off

This will be my last post on CEREBRAL MISFIRE, at least for awhile. As many of you know, I am in the process of moving. This means my DSL is about to be shut off, and thus my blogging will be at a standstill.

I hope to come back. I have enjoyed the experience immensely. For one, it has helped me hone my writing chops. Nothing helps a writer more than to practice.

For another, it has allowed me to spout off about stuff I believe and care about. And people actually READ what I had to say. How cool is that? I hope that I provoked some thought out there, one way or the other. I also hope that those of you who stopped by enjoyed yourselves. I sure had a great time writing it. It gave me something to do late at night while the sugar gliders scampered about the room.

Yet another interesting aspect of the blogging was to find some kindred spirits out there. Benjamin and Kirk, though we’ve never met, are what I’d actually go so far as to call friends. Again, how cool is that?

I’ve also found that I’m not alone in the world. There are people who hold the same ideals, morals, values, etc. that I have. They also have the same concerns and problems. This is a great thing to me.

I’ve discovered perhaps the greatest tool for a truly free press in blogging. We’ve seen the bloggers take down at least two mainstream media big-shots, and it appears more are surely doomed to follow. This is truly good. It’s high time somebody knocked the legs out from under these idiots.

At any rate, I’d like to leave anyone stopping by a list of my frequently-read blogs. Stop by and check them out. In no particular order:

http://smallestminority.blogspot.com/
A good Second Amendment website

http://imao.us/More fun with the Second Amendment, as well as a truly warped sense of humor. I like that in a person.

http://www.kimdutoit.com
The granddaddy of all gun bloggers. I’ve learned much form the Master.

http://www.limpidity.org/blog/
Kirk’s website, deep in the heart of Maryland. His wife Liz’s blog is also accessible from here. It’s always a fun read, and they seem like great people. I’ve got to give props to Kirk for bothering to teach me some blogger etiquette, when I was getting rolling on this thing. I never DID get a blogroll up and running. Maybe when I return to blogging, I’ll be better prepared. At any rate, my thanks goes out to Kirk.

http://reasonablenut.blogspot.com/Benjamin’s website. Again, this guy took a new blogger under his wing, and helped teach me the do’s and don’ts of the blogging world. It was much appreciated, as were all the comments and suggestions. This is another person that I really feel like I’ve gotten to know through this blogging stuff.

More fun with the Second Amendment.

http://www.michellemalkin.com/Great news and opinion, on subjects that the MSM won’t cover until they have to. Most notably in the areas of homeland security and immigration. I hit it several times a day.

http://www.powerlineblog.com/
Probably the best of the political blogs during the election. They are still great about taking the MSM to task. God bless ‘em.

http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/weblog.php
Great site for homeland security, and why pro-Israel is the only way to go. Well-worth your time to read several times per day.

http://www.homestead.com/prosites-prs/index.html
The greatness of Michael Savage. Again, he covers things that don’t get much mainstream media time.

http://www.newsmax.com/
Great for what’s happening in the world that the liberals don’t want you to know about.

http://washingtontimes.com/
Ditto. I don’t care who owns them, it’s a great newspaper with a conservative slant.

http://www.hughhewitt.com/index.htm
The Graddaddy of all blogs. Also a great talk show, if you're fortunate enough to live in an area where you can get it. He was kind enough to link one of my postings during the election. He must not have actually READ my stuff....

http://www.lonewolfdist.com/
Buy some interesting stuff for your Glock, your plastic pal that’s fun to be with....

http://flametoad.com/
Paul's site, if he would only POST on it every once in awhile.....

At any rate, it’s been a pleasure. The email address is going kaput within a day or so as well.

I hope to come back to blogging in the future. I can safely say that I’ll be out of commission for a few months, at least. Check back for updates from time to time.

I’ll leave you now with words of wisdom, which will serve you well in the years to come:

“Never pet a burning dog.”

Kyle,

You've not made your reasons clear, but I sincerely think you enjoy expressing yourself.

If at all possible, I think you should continue posting, at least itermittently.

And the proper quote is: "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Aw man, I never got a chance to post my incredibly witty, insiteful, and life-changing rebuttal to your post! Oh well. I can't wait until you're settled into your new digs.

Here's another reader that is very sad to see you going on hiatus. I've really enjoyed reading your blog, and wishing my cerebrum could misfire as well! Don't be gone long.

Law has mistreated us. Left us to wonder, geographically, occupationally, metaphysically. Fear is the mind killer. This much will always be true.

You will be a craftsman, an artisan and, yes, a scrivener. I remember when you thought up this blog. You were actually worried you might not have enough to say. Well, you've said it.

Take Care.
