and with finality,

As it stands, this blog is sort of a monument to my teenage life, even though it didn't really start when I was still a teenager. When I look back at the posts I wrote I see a good evolution of myself as a writer. Maybe other people read something different - there's obviously a point where there's a slow decline of how passionate you could tell I was writing about videogames and comics.

Not only that, but things happened in my life. Maybe I messed up - it all depends on whether or not you know the truth and what you think of me as a person. It turns out a lot of people aren't necessarily invested in knowing what the truth is, but just need someone to be afraid of.

One of the things I talked about on the blog a lot was the amount of artists involved in pop culture who have little knowledge of things outside of pop culture. To make strong art, you need strong inspirations. As one of my closing statements here - expand the things you're interested in. Your life will be rewarded for it.

##SKELETONPARTY was occasionally a place for some of my darker thoughts and little slices of experimentation with fiction, but primarily it was a place to categorize how I felt about the things I loved. Maybe that doesn't come off so much in an article about what would be the genesis of Devil May Cry. ha ha.

Maybe you'll read more into what I wrote here than I was capable a lot of times of actually putting into my posts. For what people I have that read this thing and think there's useful information here, I'll keep ##SKELETONPARTY open. You can still find it in the dark, even if it doesn't seem like a place that welcomes you.

The real question is going to be what comes after a place like this! There's obviously a lot of history here. Honestly I'm not even friends with the people the originally encouraged me to start a place like this originally anyway, what use do I have for propping up the past and giving my nostalgia a monument?

There comes a time in our lives when meeting new people is what we should be doing. I'm out having new experiences and there will come a time soon that I'll want to write about them.
Wherever I go, I doubt I will update this space to let you know, but that's what makes it fun right?

Strangers you are, you might already be reading me and not knowing it. I hope when you see someone with a skeleton as an avatar, or you stumble on down somewhere dark and lonely, you think of me.

You can be assured that I still feel like writing, but being connected to all of this past lately is doing me absolutely no good. Writers have an interesting relationship to their work that's fundamentally unlike that of other artists because we have to sometimes consciously think of every word that we're putting down.

For those of you terrified at the prospect of someone like me going off and creating a new space or a new identity - you should examine yourself in the mirror. You are afraid of someone you never even bothered to talk to about wanting to go on living and creating.

This is also for you. Whenever you see a skeleton you can be paranoid that it's me. You can never be assured just what kind of person it is that's behind the things you love after all. Maybe you'll be afraid, or maybe you'll let go of that fear. I'll know.

For the rest of you though, my silent audience that seemed to come in short bursts whenever it pleased, I'll be out there.

Thank you and goodnight.
