Is IMHJO Dead?

In a sense, yes. I don't plan to delete it anytime soon, but I don't feel as strongly about it as I did a few years back. (Obviously)

A recent date made me realize something about this blog; it also became apparent during my short engagement.

This blog no longer personifies me. Thankfully, I've progressed so much in the years since I've started the blog, I sometimes don't recognize myself. Or, I just read it and laugh.

The sight of two Lexuses in a driveway no longer gets my blood boiling. Don't get me wrong. I still stand for the same things: Materialism sucks, people who make Chillulei Hashem are idiots, double parkers are selfish twits, be honest with yourself and others...cheating is wrong.

My principles really haven't changed. I still agree with many things I've written.

But so many people and experiences have taught me that things aren't always as they seem. People aren't so black and white. What appeared to be a hyprocrite to me then has become someone who is confused and doesn't know where to turn.

Just because someone's chosen to improve in one area and blatantly does something else wrong doesn't make him evil or stupid.

I see things differently now. I still get upset when mansion owners escape for Purim, or five-year-old girls are overheard discussing their Juicy wardrobe. But I've learned that yelling and screaming about it on a stupid blog won't make a difference. Talking to these people won't make a difference. In a sense, I learned that my blog was "Aimed At No One." You either agreed with it, or you didn't.

I hope it was always apparent that even opposing opinions are welcome, since I enjoy seeing how other people's minds work, and I can learn something new.

Sure, I have a lot to say (ahem, complain about), but perhaps not as much a need to say it. This date sounded familiar...like the young man I had been engaged to....and much of this blog...the old me. I realized that the old me isn't me anymore.

Perhaps I'll begin a new blog (even though they're kinda done in general)...and y'all will be the first ones to know about it. Don't take me out of your bookmarks just yet. Inspiration might just strike one day, and I want you all to be there to see it.

I hear ya. First off, blogging is so '06. Twitter and FB is the new median of social networking.

Second, well, yes, people will have their opinions and thats that.

hi dudes. I'm honestly into shoes and I had been looking for the sake of that singular model. The prices due to the fact that the boots are around 340 bucks on every page. But finally I bring about this site selling them for the benefit of half price. I really love these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will definetly buy these. what is your opinion?

it's unfortunate as i enjoyed reading your blog...MAYBE blog about something that doesn't involve the crazy shidduch/brooklyn society??

I really like your blog. There is a lack of insightful, well written, Jewish blogs out there. Although as you say, people either agree with you or they don't, it is still great to put your opinion out there. (I was also glad to see that I wasn't the only one who shared your views.) Clearly I'm not alone in the hope that you will continue to blog, even if you do make some changes. Either way, thank you very much. Hatzlacha rabba.

Completely understandable. I don't anyone can say that they are the exact same person as they were a few years ago. Do what you need to do and, if you decide to come back to post on this blog or another, your followers will be waiting.

An inactive blog is like a book. If a blog is good, it should still be up when it's over.
