A Funeral.

Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered here today to lay to rest the regularity of this blog.  Regularity was in bad health for much of his life, but the past six months burdened him ever further with harsh spells of writer's block and a severe shortage of time all due to heavy studying and binge coping-with-adminstrative-problems. The final blow came however when I moved to Dublin and started college, a development which led to Regularity's untimely demise.

Not many will mourn the lost of Regularity's humble life, but those few who will may be comforted by his final words; "Tell that bastard to get back to work."  In this context "that bastard" is of course me, but I believe we may all generalize Regularity's ultimate utterance as a wise instruction to lay our hands to work whenever life seems too irregular, and find peace and tranquility in our toiling just as Regularity did throughout his exemplary life.  When life seems tough, remember to be "that bastard."

On a less dramatized note:  posting on this blog regularly has proven to be impractical, impossible, imperceptibly implementable and all together much more "imp" than it's worth.  I will however be posting haphazardly, having a few half-essays jotted down on paper and recycling pieces of my incoming philosophy assignments which I'm sure I will have to trim several times due to their pocket-sized word limits. (Only 1500 words - that's hardly rational.)  I will of course have to spruce up the assignment-trimmings a tad.  I'm quite sure a mock funeral or random animal sounds (which were not so random by the way take a closer look; http://logical-not-unemotional.blogspot.ie/ ) might not sit well with my lecturers.

Back to the dramatization;

And so we lay Regularity to rest, may he find peace everlasting amongst his discarded brethren of abandoned endeavors.

May your respective deities smile kindly down upon us (or mockingly down at us) as indiscriminately and arbitrarily as we choose to adopt their doctrines,

Amen.
