Once upon a time, Tom "2Tum" Toner gave me a livejournal account so I could make fun of it. I thought Livejournal accounts were stupid. I mean, you're writing in a Journal, a fancy Diary...why would you want anybody to read it? I had fun for awhile, tried to get serious a few times, but in the end I just gave up on it.
Next came Myspace. A great place to keep up with friends and family, and to tune into lots of indie music, but not really a great place to write, despite it's blog feature.
So now I'm here. I might have found a place the fits me, if not, hey, it's free.
Owner of ComiX-Fan Eric J. Moreels asked me repeatedly when we launched the site to write a regular column. The few times I did writer a column for the site, combined with my reviews and interviews along with my journalism background must have impressed him in some way, shape or form. I always declined (just like I declined to be the Official ComiX-Fan Financial Guru, just because I had a Financial background didn't make me the most qualified).
This is about as close as I'll ever get. The purpose of this blog, besides the dumb people I see on a regular basis, will be my thoughts on anything and everything, except my family (unless it's something positive, no need to drag them into drama or negativity) . If Eric ever sees this, he'll be glad to know that I'll most likely touch upon the Comic Book Industry, it just won't be for ComiX-Fan. One day I may write a tell all about my time at the site, but since it's been years since I stepped down, I don't think anybody would care now anyway.
I don't know if anybody will ever read this blog. And I don't really care. If I wanted a higher profile, I'd take up journalism again, or start posting like mad on message boards like the good old days.
It's for me mostly, not you. And if you find it, and read it, and are educated by it in some way, so be it. Glad I could help. If not, sorry I wasted your time. But then again, I didn't make you come here, so I'm not TOO sorry.....

Hi Anthony. You might not remember me from Comixfan. We used to talk a lot in the Rob Liefeld thread about 4-5 years ago now, I was username Wolverine. It's great to hear you're still going well. A lot has changed in the last few years eh. I'd be very interested in chatting about things and hearing your thoughts on the comic book industry and of course, the days at X-fan. Love to hear from you again sometime soon. Andrew.
Yes, I remember you Andrew. Good to see you still around. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I'm just figuring out the Blog thing, and didn't know anybody had posted until I decided to swing by today.
Not a problem mate. I was also quite pleased to see you were still around. If you want to chat or whatever, buzz me on my msn or yahoo sometimes - wolverinexafan1987@yahoo.com.
Chat soon!
