Unplugged…

unplugged

Blogging.  What is it really?  An online journal?  Sure.  A cartoon dog?  No, no it is not.  A blog is not a cartoon dog.  Now that we’re clear on that….

Similar to America’s beloved Lauren Conrad from The Hills, IBBB is unplugging and taking a little time off from the blogging world.  For the past 3-years I’ve used this ridiculous blog as a creative outlet for myself and a way to make some people laugh every now and then.  It’s been really fun and, surprisingly, rewarding for me.  I’ve got to connect with some great people who I would have never known had I not started this blog and this has opened an insane amount of doors for me both personally and professionally.  Who knew the Internet was helpful like that?

As you know for the past 3-months I’ve been on a wild ride in the “television world” and having a blast living out my dream.  It’s crazy, really.  I could get all deep, but that’s not why you come around here. While the show I work on (The Edge With Jake www.EdgeWithJake.com) is on hiatus I will be taking a break from the blog to focus on myself, my family, and my friends.  I don’t want to say I will “start” living life because I’ve certainly been doing that for the past few years, but want to take some time to stop fully focusing on me and start focusing on others and just life, basically.

I know I’ll be back to blogging at some point in the future (near future, maybe), but for now I’m looking forward to starting new projects, continuing old projects, and maybe even hitting the gym.  I said “maybe.”

I want to thank the thousands of you who, for some reason, religiously read IBBB on a daily basis.  You have no idea how much I’ve appreciated this and how much this has given me the courage to pursue my dreams and blah blah blah.

Until I return, feel free to become life-long friends with me on Facebook and follow/stock me on Twitter.

Lukewarm Regards,
IBBB

    With all the stupid summer television IBBB is what I plan to turn to for entertainment.

    Also, how can you NOT recap “I’m not even a little bit of a celebrity, get me out of here”?? It’s too good. Heidi with no makeup. Spencer has found God. I mean, really…it’s too much!

  44. IBBB Said,

    Wow, thanks for all the kind words, insults, kicks in the pants, and swears. All wonderful. I’m not retiring this blog for good….just for a little while as I continue to hunt the Olsen Sluts and figure out additional ways to get Tyra Banks into a headlock.

    Thanks for everything…..especially the money that was never sent.

  45. Lynds Said,

    Noooooooooooooo. I’ve counted on you to wade through the trainwreck that is the Hills and now I have nothing! At least now I won’t have to explain why I’m laughing out loud when I’m supposed to be reading boring documents.

  46. Lynnsee Said,

    I’m heartbroken!! This is the only blog I read!! I’ve never begged to a guy……….EVER………..But, IBBB, Please come back!!!
