All dead blogs go to heaven
Friday, October 12th, 2007
Eulogy, eublogy. Good word, good blog.
(Organ music…)
Today, we’ve come here to honor that cherished blog, Ocular Fusion. (No, you’re not in the wrong place. Come on in… Take off your hat. Respect, and all that…) He breathed his last and passed into cyberspace on October 8, 2007 after a short, event-filled two years.
I first met the departed blog through comments left on a popular site. I visited his place, laughed and cried, left a comment. He replied.
I was hooked.
We will miss his shots on goal, his diatribes on the Tide and Notre Dame (he’s been strangely silent on that one…), his glimpses into the human eye and his stories of Eyegal and the 3 Eyegarçons, his runs in the morning and his walk with Jesus.
He elevated the bar for the daily post. Dedicated to his readers, and especially to his comment-ators (Fusioneers), commenting on their comments, which generated more comments on his comments. And on it would go.
Though I will miss him, I’ll probably get more done. I am sure that he will too.
But like all the faithful, I await with expectation the resurrection, when new life will be breathed into http://www.ocularfusion.net/
Yes, I eagerly await that day…
