It has been a long time since I have posted on this site and I wanted to post something here to prove I’m alive, that the website still works, and that maybe someone will read this someday. Don’t let your inner passion die like mine has for a bit. It is a dark hole to climb out of. I guarantee you can climb out of it just like I am in the process of. What do I hope to accomplish? I hope to start creating something because I care to create it again. Maybe some kind of comic strip, maybe some kind of video series. I am just finding it hard to find something I care hard enough about to devote some of my time to. As it is, I am thinking of getting rid of my LEGO which is half of what this site features. I’m outgrowing the hobby and I don’t like the commercialism of what it has become. It has always been commercialistic in some way as a hobby because it was collecting plastic things that you buy at the store. Now it is just available at almost every store around. When I was into them, it felt like a nerd-y thing, but now I feel like if you mention it, LEGO is a thing for kids. Theoretically it always has been, I was just accepting that it was an “artistic medium” like anything else. If I part ways with the collection and regret it later, I will never be able to recover the collection that I had. A good suggestion I got was to put it away for a while in the garage somewhere. See if I still feel like pulling it back out later. I’m going to give it a try with some of my kits that I bought more because they were on sale or I thought I would customize them someday. They obviously didn’t fill the hole I was looking to fill with that collection. Over the last few years, I was getting the LEGO Advent calendars just to have something “non-food” to look forward to during the holidays. This year, I will break that tradition, but I don’t feel bad about it. Just because I did something for a few years doesn’t mean I’m giving up on myself, just on a behavior I don’t want to carry forward. If you’re still reading down to here, kudos and thank you. With so many more important things to build and tinker with, I think I might be able to leave LEGO behind.
I drew this recently on my tablet. This is a comic book cover featuring myself flexing while wearing a WWE Title belt. I really did buy a title belt as shown in the picture as my celebration piece for reaching my goal weight. I’m standing over the demons I defeated on my path to becoming the person I am today. Sometimes we get lost along the way, but we have to keep going.
