Closed For Business

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

- The End
by The Doors


I'm shutting this site down and opening another:

http://neilmassey.us/wordpress/

There's still quite a bit of work to be done at the other place - from configuring layout to deciding what to do with posts from July 2005 to July 2008. But if I waited for it to be perfect, I'd never fully make the transition.

This, the last post, is quite fitting - two songs from my favorite artists.

There is no good nohow, no good reason, no easy way to say
Goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
No matter how many times we try

Cry as we might
There is no better time than tonight

We have no friends and no fear and no reasonable reason, no bad feelings of pleasing you
Oh changin', I'm changin', forgettin' you, I've forgotten too

I do not want to
Try as we might
There'll be no sleepin' tonight

There are no big deals, no deal-breakers, no hand shakers, no purebred papers
And no pain, no guilt, no powers that be, baby, there's just no bein' me
Forgettin' you, I've forgotten too

Try as we might... there'll be no leavin' tonight
Try as we might... there'll be no leavin' tonight
