Those of you who know me best on these pages will know that for some time I have been preparing to go to Cambridge University. Well, the day has almost come, and tomorrow morning I'll be leaving home and moving the 150 miles into my new college life. Of course this is going to be a big change, and I guess that is the point of this post. In the coming weeks I'm going to be adjusting to this new world, and I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have for these online pursuits. Right now, I really have no idea how much time I'm going to be spending on booze parties and casual sex study, let alone extra-curricular activities, I don't really know what sort of internet access I'll have... come to think of it, I'm not even sure whether I'll have a functioning liver by this time next week. Simply put, I don't know how much, if any, MOGging I'm going to be able to do in the coming weeks. Fun as blogging and commenting is, it's a time consuming affair, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep it up.
Before you ask, no, I'm not going to be deleting my account - hell this could all be a false alarm, and I might be back within a week or two. I just didn't want to disappear without telling you guys. In the past two and bit years I've had enormous fun on this site, and met some super amazing people, friends from the other side of the globe, friends in places I never thought possible. I've also found a discovered a huge amount of music, and had countless laughs. I hope I'll be able to return here sooner rather than later, but I know you'll understand if I can't. And while keeping in touch isn't one of my strong points, if anyone wants to mogmail me, I promise I'll endeavour to respond.
In the meantime, here is a mix of some of the best and most memorable tunes I've found on MOG, so listen, enjoy, and until next time, take care.

Hey Jox - best of luck with the new College Man lifestyle. We know you worked hard to get there. Make the most of it. We'll look for you to pop up in the MOG-O-Sphere when you can. Cheers!
My Trusted MOGs
best of luck jox, and as for the booze and drugs they are over rated. Now the women are a whole different ball game, spend away!
My Trusted MOGs
eep! what will mog be like without its regular dose of smartly written, interesting posts?
will miss your british wit if you do happen to dissappear. good luck with the college life jox. hope to hear from you soon!
My Trusted MOGs
Good luck! But most importantly, party on!
My Trusted MOGs
Jox, you wild manchild! You discriminating aesthete! You philosopher-king-in-training! I won't burden you by saying you're our hope for the future, but we sure as hell are rooting for you to conquer Cambridge with the same alacrity that you show when running down spirit-raising, life-changing music. Do what you must to crack this case, Inspector, and report in when you can. (And give my best to the Footlights crew. I believe that you'll be close enough to inhale some of the same rarefied air once breathed by my comedy heroes Fry & Laurie, Mitchell & Webb, and Cleese & Chapman. Remember: If the pressure starts to get to you, have a good laugh.)
My Trusted MOGs
One more thing: Thank you!
My Trusted MOGs
Miss you already :(
Go and shine, like you always do, and take their breath away, love.
My Trusted MOGs

My Trusted MOGs
Don't listen to Henry, study your brains out.
Do check in and keep us up to date when you can.
My Trusted MOGs
Alright now I feel like a parrot.
John please do well. In your studies as well as your life. As a valued comrade you have worldwide support from us. Don't forget the resource/shoulders you have cultivated here. It really goes without saying that we are all rooting for you and wish you fortune.
My Trusted MOGs
All the best to you! It's been a pleasure to read your posts and will look forward to your return!
"it's a time consuming affair" no kiddin'!
