I’m loaded.

Downloaded, that is. Actually, I think I downloaded way back in October. My posts became sporadic at that point, so there was very little for me to do yesterday, after the Big Announcement, to prepare for the day the lights are shut off in this place.

Hey, it’s sad news, for sure. And the whole idea of this dude closing down the site because it’s no longer "financially viable" is such bullshit. I resent being lied to. I truly believe if it were an issue of money, there are options that would be better than killing the site. But it’s his call. It’s a dick move, in my opinion, but what do you expect from someone who has historically behaved like an absentee landlord?

I’m not "dancing on the grave" of the site. This is not something to celebrate. But that doesn’t mean it cannot be embraced. I’m sad, I’m angry, I’m relieved, I’m anxious. It’s a fucking merry-go-round of emotions. I don’t and won’t apologize for it. 

Thanks to those of you who have reached out to me via Prosebox and facebook. I’m glad we shall continue our association beyond OD. 

There IS life after OD. That IS to be celebrated.
