I do believe that this the longest I've gone without posting since I started melvtopia. Why? Well, mainly because it's been a bit mental at work over the last couple of weeks - back-to-back meetings, 2010 budgets, annual appraisals and even a management training morning on Friday.
It's been a time to keep my head above water while also taking a step back and re-evaluating how I can be more effective, more succesful and a better leader as we go into 2010. Busy, busy.
Back to melvtopia. It's almost exactly a year since I posted my first blog post. At that time the zavvi adventure was unravelling and I was in an environment that demanded a degree of positivity. melvtopia had a purpose. And it was cathartic for me.
It's seen me through the the fall of zavvi, the (thankfully short) period of jobhunting, the highs and lows of my time at Ministry of Sound as well as good times with friends, good and bad times supporting Rangers and various random musings that may or may not have hit the mark.
One year on, the question is, is melvtopia still relevant (if indeed it ever was) and is it worth carrying on? Or has it served its purpose and is nothing more than vanity blogging now.
I can't answer that question - but you can. So, should I stay or should I go? You decide. Answers on a postcard, comment or intelligent duck.
And by the way, I've just missed my frigging train stop while I was writing this so I'm standing at New Southgate station at 8.00 on a Friday night waiting for a train back into London. You can't accuse me of not making sacrifices for the melvtopia cause...

you should stay. I too have had a bit of a blog hiatus but mine has almost lasted a whole year, funnily enough about the same time my offspring has been on the planet. But I always love reading the musings of friends past and present and would miss yours were they not here.
Melvin - it may be 15 years (or more!) since we saw each other but I've enjoyed reading about what you've been up to - and am happy I only had to read the Scottish sports gloating given the current state of English rugby!
If you enjoy writing it then stay. It's always nice to know what other people are up to. But if it's becoming a chore then we know when we're no longer loved...
Keep it you Tart! Always good to know what you are up to and makes me laugh. You've got a gift with the written word (can't usually understand what you are saying!)and anyway one day it could be the source of an idea for a Richard Curtis "mid life crisis in fashionable Muswell Hill" type film. Not sure who'd play you though - Jimmy Krankie or Ewan Mcgregor?
