Today is a rough day. I knew going into it that it would be, but I still didn’t expect it to be quite this bad. For anyone that may not have known, one of the reasons that I hadn’t been updating this site as much as I should (other than my lack of internets) was because I was writing for Bow Down To Us. It was kind of a dream job if you will and though moving and funds didn’t always allow me to write features as often as I wanted, I was proud of what I did write. Sadly, today we’re boarding the windows and closing up shop. The reasons are understandable and hell I even applaud them, but it’s still rough. It’s almost like losing a part of yourself. I owe quite a bit to that site, and this is kind of my farewell speech if you will.
Where do I start? I have so many things to thank you for. Thank you for allowing me a place to feel comfortable. I could be silly and random (and often times, drunk) and make nerdy jokes and references and just have everyone laugh at me in the good way. Thank you for letting me on the different shows and trusting that I would be able to hold my own in conversations with everyone (and for understanding even when I couldn’t). Thank you for allowing me to write, for giving me a purpose to write. Thank you for helping me figure out that yes, this is what I want to do with my life. Thank you for helping me rediscover who I am and be ok with it. And thank you for helping me meet the person that I love dearly. If it wasn’t for the podcasts and the site I never would have started the jokes that led to my falling in love and moving cross country, and I don’t quite have the words to thank you properly for that. Hopefully this is not the last we’ll see of this project, maybe it just wasn’t the time right now and maybe it can be again soon.
So long and thanks for the fish? Yeah, that works.
