Done.

Saying nothing for two months pretty much says it all, but I'm here to put the nail in the coffin; to publish the final Geekburger post.

I already wrote a long explanation for Geekburger's first death -- the 2007 transition from a full-blown web-zine to a whimpy blog -- so there's no need to get wordy on you again. Quite simply, I'm completely burnt out on writing music reviews. Most of today's new music has failed to excite or motivate me, and I've picked up some new interests that simply take precedence. Since I spend my workdays writing and designing, I need to do something different in my spare time. Variety is the spice of life, right? Uh, yeah.

I'm calling it a day, confident that this is the only thing I've got left to offer the site. Oversized props go out to all the writers that have stuck with this sort of gig any longer than I did (I'm looking at you, Pastepunk). It's draining, especially if you've got a life outside of it, and constantly changing.

There's no need to mail me music anymore. Maybe someday I'll write another review, but that'll most definitely be for someone else's publication.

I like to play some video games these days. If anyone out there ever wants to dish me up a brutal headshot or fry me with a level-three fire spell (or something equally nerdy) for giving their favorite band a shitty review, look me up!

Yes, I have 69 in one of my total cheeseball names.

Peace out.
