Heh. I think I sounded a little drastic on that last journal entry. Don't worry friends, I'm not going anywhere. If I do go anonymous, it will only be for a couple of weeks in September while I'm looking for work. I'm still planning a (late) September event, and even have a theme in mind.
That being said, I think it will be good for me to leave this site behind, even if for a short time. It's become part of my daily routine, and I'm not sure I like that. When I first discovered Suicide Girls, back in the long-lost days of 2003, it was like an atom bomb. It was my naughty little secret, a little thrill to hide from my roommates. It was new, different, and very, very hot. And I could recognize most of the SGs by face and name.
It's all grown so much, and so fast. 700 Suicide Girls and counting. It's hard to keep track of who is who anymore, and many of my original friends on this site are long gone.
People complain it's gone corporate, that SG has sold out. I say, so what? . SG is a buisness, and it should be allowed to grow and prosper. I hope Missy and Sean get fantastically rich. I hope someday to see an SG Mansion.
The cultural relevance of SG has spread so far in an amazingly brief amount of time. This is because there was a gap in our plastic, silicone culture. The women I lusted after in high school and college, the little goth girls with the pierced lip and eyeliner, they aren't on the sidelines anymore. A new feminine ideal is being created. Or maybe, the notion of a "feminine ideal" has been totally debunked.
See here, while I was writing about why I needed a break, I've gone and reminded myself why I love this place to begin with.

On a completely different note, I achieved an interesting milestone in my life today. A girl called and invited me out to a club ... an S&M club.
Life is interesting.
And now, back to my regularly scheduled job search.

I think the ZipCar thing is a really, really neat idea. However, in my gut I feel like it's the type of things that everyone would say, "Yeah, that sounds awesome," and then noone would get off his ass to make it happen. And who is gonna be that guy who collects the money?

I don't like the MTV thing, the playboy thing -not so much. I understand to thrive you must advertise, but sometimes I feel like there are times when the site forgets its base core fundamentals. I know of at least one person who left for this reason.
