It was early May of 05 when I was messing around with geocities, I loved looking around at the personal sites of geocities and angelfire just seeing what other regular people when throwing up on the net. I was interested in having a site, but had no idea what to do with one. So I thought I learn how to make a site by going thru the steps, but stop before the final step, and then come back when I got an idea of what to do. But before I knew it, I had accidentally published the site, and had my own little piece of webspace.
I spent entire time I had the site from 05 all the way till geocities closed in late 09, just trying to decide what to do with the damn thing. I realized early on I had no idea what to do, hence the meta joke name, “A Place Where Nothing Happens”, mocking my own directionless approach to the site. In time, I came to posting my comics, talking about my projects, writing reviews, and giving my general thoughts. I tried to make a point to update it at least once a month, though I blew that often.
In 2012, I just wanted to get out my job, which I hated with a passion. I just had to get out, didn’t have the money for collage, no other job lined up, I just had to get the F*** out of there before I lost my mind completely. I figured 2012 was going to be my last year there, so I was planning to try to grow my youtube, and try to get something published. So I started this site to be a central resource for my work and replace A Place Where Nothing happens. I set this site up in Aug ’12, and I finally quit my job the following February. While I was relived to be out of that place, my head space completed shifted, I was simply not thinking the same things creativity wise. I just couldn’t finished what I started before I quit my job, and a new creative universe was forming in my mind. Honestly, looking back on what I was working on back then, it was probably for the best that stuff never made it out to the light of day.The cringe is real.
Working 3rd shift since 2014 also made it difficult to do anything really. I really only seem to have maybe a couple of hours a day to myself, and if I don’t do anything in that time, well that’s it. (I”m pushing my bed time writing this btw.)
So here we here, over five f***in’ years since I made this site, and it’s another A Place Where Nothing Happens, literally. This new creative multiverse in my headspace seems stable enough, and I feel the ideas may have a wide enough appeal. I just want to read some more before I do the really hard writing. But I feel I need a practice in diligence in the meantime. So I look back to this site, and just like A Place Where Nothing happens before it, I shall make a point to update it at least once a month. Whither it’s a short one shot comic, a short piece of writing, and just a good old fashion rant blog. I feel this is what need to get me back to my old creative grove.
I’m thinking of changing the site around somewhat, so keep a eye open, at least eye on my social media.
-Later.
