eastcoastlife Quits Blogging -- My Last Post

I was kinda expecting this day to come. I'm forced to closed down my blog. The blogosphere is disorganised and thus not as powerful as the real world. There is no rules nor laws governing it. And when bloggers only care for their own benefits (higher rankings, more traffic, more clicks on their Adsense) and want more for themselves, it is harder to bring it to a higher level or expand. Someone will lose out in the competition for survival.

I would like to thank my fans, fellow bloggers, loyal supporters and readers for stopping by eastcoastlife. You have brought me joy, anger, tears and laughter. I only have a string of 4-letter words to describe my feelings now. Don't tempt me say it.

The End of Blogsophere!

siwwypig was swift to retaliate with her meme after I tagged her on Tuesday. This is what to expect when you tag people, they would tag you back at the very first opportunity! So lazy smart people don't want to do tags.

Long overdued meme. My apology to siwwgpig. I didn't forget, it was in my mind and draft all this time.

hehehehe .... feeling cheated? Remember the story, 'The boy who cried wolf'?' Wonder if the next time my readers would ignore my posts or not. Everyone who reads this gets tag. What will your last post be like?

Outwit. Outplay. Outlast. - Survivor Blogsphere!

  25. Dear EastCoast,

    I too have been informed by the IBP (international blog police) that I will no longer be able to post to the net. They forced thier way into my computer screen and took away my cursor and the letter Q. I have been fined and sentenced to hard labor on a water raft in the Pacific Ocean. I hope to return to the world of blogger's through the black market and under an assumed idenity.

    But you my friend are a riot. You made me smile with this post.

    ReplyDelete

    all the best in your future endeavours

    Jon

  58. Your English is good. As such, I was tricked into believing that you are really going to quit blogging when I read the first two paragraphs of this post.

    Maybe I am gullible?

    ReplyDelete
  59. My last post...maybe I won't write an official last post. I don't have plans to stop blogging, so if anything ends up being my last post. It could be because I have left this world.
