its so hard to find one particular tree in a jungle.
today, i spent my free evening trying to search for all the past weblogs that i used to frequent back in 2004/5, journals of strangers whom i have never met before in my life, but whose daily scribbles used to enthrall me and leave me hungry for more after every savory read; and back then, the more i read about their lives, their views and their twisted sense of humour, the more i felt like i wanted to know them better. so i went to technorati, to rbj, to all my past layouts at tbns to dig out the rusty links, only to found out to my disappointment, that many of these talent writers have either stopped writing due to work commitments, moved without leaving any traces, or retired from the blogsphere. some of them went into an indefinitely long hiatus, while some simply vanished into thin air.
i think the bad thing when blogs become too popular, is that the little personal space becomes their readers', not theirs alone anymore. and maybe thats why some of them chose to abandon the shelter when they could no longer seek solace in it.
it is such a pity, when it was actually the audience who drove away the actors. :/
