Selling out to the man?

Well, it's that time again. My domain is set to expire soon and I'm debating renewing it (as always). Spending money, just to ramble on about my pathetic life doesn't exactly top my list of things to spend on. For the past 6 years in which I've had this domain, I've never generated any money off it. Mainly because I just don't like ads or anything like them. I've also though that ads and pop-ups are tacky and just plain skeevy (if that's not a word, then I made it up). I mean, I have that SBC DSL thing up top, but that's a work thing, and I've always helped anyone with their DSL problems as much as I can....been doing it for years for free. Anyways, i'm open to thoughts. Should I even bother keeping this site running? Would ads come across that badly? I mean with about 20k people visiting the site a month, I just wonder if I'm being stupid or not. And why the hell are 20k people interested in listening to me complain? :) Must just be the cat pictures.
