Y'all may not care but one of the blogs that influenced me the most is dunzo. Carles is shutting down for reasons that I way relate to:
[via Gawker]Sup bro.
I am closing because I don't really enjoy content farming any more. Blogging used to be a little bit more fun and rewarding when I had a more naive outlook on what modern journalism meant. Now in a world filled with tumblrs, twitters, listicles, and an intense meme cycle, I don't think there is any thing very fun or special about it. I probably started HRO when I was insecure and felt like I needed a tribe of people to understand me to feel validated, but now I have predictably 'grown up'.
I'm disturbed by how much I can relate to this. Pour some out for HRO tonight, a defunct blog worth blogging about.
UPDATE: Reunion tour, Carles cashes in to "save 2K11."
