The end
Hey guys. Bad news. I woke up this morning and decided I wanted to stop blogging. There was a time, when I first started doing this, that I thought I could blog for the rest of my life. In many ways, blogging was the perfect format for me and my scatterbrained personality. I'd go through my daily activities, witness something interesting, plop at my desk after work, write about it, repeat the next day.
You ever wonder how chronically single people are able to go years and years without having sexual intercourse, and not lose their sanity? Easy -- they masturbate. And that's sort of how it had been for me all these years: creatively-speaking, I was content, because I had a blog to scratch all of my itches. Blogging was a quick fix. Masturbation.
But now it's time for me to move on. It's been a great run these last 4 years, but I think I want to do other things now.
So this is it. My last post on Ill Noise. For those of you that have been reading about my life all these years, thanks. I really appreciate it when people stalk me. No, seriously, thank you for reading, everyone. And who knows, maybe this won't be the last you'll ever hear from me. Maybe someday I'll publish something or do something else equally as fun. I don't know. I'll figure it out.

nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad day for the internet. I don't think I even know a blog out there that was as consistently entertaining or funny as yours. Most blogs recycle daily political or celeb news, or talk about geek technology...yours was just about your life, but unlike the millions of livejournals out there yours was engaging. Take care, and good luck with whatever you decide to do to scratch your "itches."
I've been a fan since you started. If you publish something, I will be first in line at B&N.
Aw Pete. You were very committed to your blog, so I'm surprised. Also disappointed because I will have nothing to read in the morning when I have my coffee.
What are you going to do now? You need to do something, that's just the way you're wired.
Lame. You're not my buddy anymore. Kidding, but I am sad.
:(
What a sad way to end it, I didn't even see it coming!
Well I must say that you are a talented writer with a very unique blog. You were topical, and fun to read. I always wondered how you were able to come up with so many interesting or funny things to write about, never showing signs of slowing down.
My prediction is you will return to blogging some day when you again have a really funny life experience and need to tell the world!
nooo pete!!! why???
So you're pulling the plug just like that. You just pulled a Dave Chappelle on us. This sucks...
You can't leave us! I refuse to believe!
I'm disappointed....but I understand.
I don't think there's anything else on the internet quite like Ill Noise... I started reading this summer and instantly bookmarked your site. You have a very idiosyncratic brand of humor, but you were also good at blending it with pathos.
You will be missed.
You'll come running back to your blog someday I know it.
....Say it ain't so!
I'll let you guest Blog once in awhile.
Good for you. You were pissing your talent away on a blog, it's time to do something a little bigger. Kudos.
you will still putter with this. Even if you dont, i hope you continue to write.
Pete I've seen you grow as a writer and humorist all these years. You have a way of making us laugh uncontrollably while also breaking our hearts at the same time. You've amassed a body of work that you should be proud of. I can't wait to see the kinds of things you come up with next.
you are quitting, wtf??
So what the heck are you planning on doing now?
I don't believe for a minute that you are ending your blog. I predict your return by the end of next week TOPS.
Thanks for the laughs.
awww no! oh well at least there are still a lot of posts in your archives i can read.
I say we all sign a petition to bring Ill Noise back!!
You know thats ironic Mr.Pete because I was just thinking of giving up masturbation. But in the end, we always return to old habits. Cheers to you good sir.
Did you calculate the risk involved with this sort of decision?
I get it... you are working on Ill Noise: The Movie aren't you?
Michael Jordan
He created a game called basketball.
-Millions adored and indulged in his success.
Then, he "quit" and decided to play baseball.
-Millions were sad at the decision, many expected it to result in imminent failure, even more expected the failure to encourage him to return to basketball.
Then, he quit baseball to return to basketball.
-Millions got what they wanted, and were dissappointed.
Then, he starred in Hanes commercials with that guy from Footloose.
It was fun reading your blogs all these year Pete. I hope you get a book published one day.
