Lack of posts worries Omar fans
--NEWS--
Silence may be golden to some, but for fans of journalist Omar Jamil's weblog, silence is an unbearable torture, similar to the pain of being poked in the eye with a sodering iron.
Public support for Mr. Jamil's online-journal reached record highs after its January 20th inception, many of his friends, relatives, and coworkers greeted the oportunity to enjoy Mr. Jamil's musings with unrestrained glee. Ryan Blitstein, a journalist at Red Herring Magazine and one of Mr. Jamil's coworkers, said, "DIAMOND," upon learning of the new blog.
But Omar's recent silence -- two full days -- has dismayed his loyal readers. "I felt like crying," said reporter Anna Petherick, "But then I realized it was just a piece of dust in my eye."
Others have speculated that Omar can't be bothered to blog during his busy weekends. "That guy's a party animal," said an Omar insider who asked not to be named.
Will the blog be back? Only time will tell.
