Life Changes
It’s been an absolute nightmare the past 2 weeks. My body, my brain, and my heart has never been pulled in so many different directions at once and so fast. As you may have noticed my 365 Pics have slipped, I simply haven’t had time to do the photography I love. I hope soon to get back onto my regular schedule.
There’s also some personal changes, if you haven’t heard, I’m going to be a father. Last week I got to see my kid for the first time, swimming away like some sea monkey - though he looked completely human. And yes, it has my prominent nose. It truly was amazing to just sit there and watch this little life moving around, and to know that somehow I created that.
Another thing I’ve always felt I help create was Evil Avatar.com. Or at least, the way it stands today I helped create it. That all came crashing down as of yesterday as I announced my departure from the site. With the aforementioned fatherhood and the success of Co-Optimus I knew I wouldn’t be able to devote my time to both sites. There were other issues involved with this decision, and this caused a handful of other staff members to leave as well; my departure as sort of a spring board. With that they created a new site called ColonyOfGamers. I promised and have helped to get it off the ground, as I felt it was something of my responsiblity. What I didn’t expect was such a huge following so quickly as a couple hundred members joined the site in only a few hours. Not only that but more staff from EvAv seemed to follow.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens next, and it feels weird to not be “part of EvilAvatar.com.” I put so much time and money and effort into that site to see it literally all be wiped away in an instant breaks my heart. But I guess that sort of explains part of the reason for leaving, as much as I thought I had control, I never really did.
