the Change I Wish to See

...and whatever else it takes to find my pants

There comes a time in every blogger's virtual life when he or she outgrows his or her britches and must find a bigger pair of pants, or be reduced to sauntering around in what are usually shameful undergarments.

Today is that day for me.  My undergarments are holey and I can't bear the shame.

I have been known by many names, here at Blogger: francobeans, f.B, the great mouse detective, bastard...  But after today, this face
      

    
... will no longer grace these html pages.*
  
    
Didn't we almost have it all, Blogger?  If you hadn't gone all Bobby Brown on me --

No.

This is not the place for that.  I will remember you, for better or worse.

And so, without further ado, I say goodbye.
  
    
your teardrops scar like shrapnel
lonely fragments pierce my skin
i'll bet i'll find them
still, years later
embedded next to all my sins

*Not that I'm disappearing from the interwebs.  Find me from now on at francobeans.com.  And I would've just redirected you there, if I could.  But I can't; not between hosts.  So, I won't delete this blog for at least the week.
