After 10 1/2 seasons, I have come to a hard decision.  The Update series needs to stay locked.  It's time for me to move on with my life and pick up the pieces and enjoy it.  The Update was becoming monotonous and tedious and was no longer fun.  I have long thought Update XI would be the final season, so closing it wasn't as a spur of the moment decision as it seems.

I came to this realization after consulting with Torie and Inks late last night and more importantly via a chat with my girlfriend last night.  I realized that it's no longer just me I have to think about.  I am guarding the heart of someone very special to me.  I need to listen to her needs.  We never talked about the Update thread, but I don't want to have to have that discussion.

I'm no longer going to answer any questions about my life.  I may make a quick Attention Whoring thread when I am officially engaged or finish school/find a job.  But, no more than a page or two.  I'm no longer going to post on every mundane detail of my life.  If you want to know how I'm doing, check on Facebook.

Note, I am NOT leaving the forum or taking a break.  I hope to take this time to clearly define my political positions, which I'll admit sometimes waffles, and start discussing the 2014 mid terms and the 2016 presidential elections.

I ask that no more Update-esque or BushOklahoma threads be opened.  I will not post in any of the threads, because I am serious about wanting to keep the Update closed.  I want my life to cease being a public spectacle.

With that:  Update is officially in the history books.

Will the Update closure last as long as the diet?

Series finale sucked. Maybe we can hope for a spin off? Perhaps a show about Bushie's pop?

Does this mean Bushie is going back to the blog?

I'm enjoying this latest twist. This, plus the sudden re-appearance of Kenya, means there must be something big happening. My guess is that CAD is turning out to be a bust.

I was scrolling through the first page of the board and thought to myself, "I must be going insane. I can't find The Update here..."

Could this be foreshadowing a premature character death?

Is it possible bushie has been diagnosed with a fatal disease, which led him to drop out of school and begin planning his final pilgrimage to Kenya?

As opposed to non-fatal diseases like diabetes and barely morbid obesity?

These sound contradictory; what did you talk with her about that influenced your decision to "close" the Update if you didn't talk about the Update itself?

This CADDDropout theory is looking more and more likely.
