I've been on SG for four years. I've got to say, I'm not sure that I want to stay.

I've slowly come to the realization that there are a lot of things that I just don't have in common with the typical SG member. I'll list a few.

1. I'm in my 30's.
2. I don't think words are automatically granted special meaning because someone put them in a song.
3. I don't like burlesque. Never have.
4. I haven't made any effort to stay current on popular bands in about a decade.
5. I don't derive self-esteem from taking blurry closeups of myself on cell phone cameras and posting them here.
6. I don't think SGs walk on water. Having met plenty of them, I think they're just regular people who are naked on the internet.
7. I think education is important.
8. I try my hardest to back up what I say with logic and factual evidence.
9. I think being "punk rock" is not about how you look.

I accomplished my initial goal in subscribing to SG years ago, which was to make new friends and meet people. In that regard, my time on SG has been quite a success and I'm glad to have been here. But I think I'm finished with the site now.

So barring any major changes over the next few weeks, I will not be renewing my account at the end of the month. Those of you who would like to keep in touch and don't already know, send me a message and I'll give you my e-mail address.
