This is the end...



My friends. The end.

Sometimes epiphanies can be a bad thing.

Sometimes you take a look around and you DON'T like what you see, what you are and what you do. This is one of those days, and will bring about a major change.

Weird, I had just almost finished porting all the Fortress stuff onto the new site when I suddenly thought "what am I DOING?!" And that's when I decided.

No more Fortress Of Solitude. No more Amazon reviews. No more Voice Of Reason. No more Irresponsible Hate Monger.

No more Curmudgeon.

I spend far too much time on the internet now and, for God's sake, I'm a married man. I need to grow up and move on.

So this is it, friends. Thanks to everyone who's been here over the last year. Thanks for dropping by and saying hi.

For anyone who comes here after reading my Amazon reviews or who has been offended by anything I've said over my time as The Curmudgeon - I apologise. I didn't mean any harm and write whatever I said as petty insecurity.

If anyone else wants to get in touch from time to time, I'll still answer e-mails, so feel free to drop me a line.

Ladies and gentlemen, to quote a great man - it was.. fun. Oh my..

EDIT - APRIL FOOLS!

Sigh... well, THAT didn't work, did it?

I was SUPPOSED to come in here yesterday and shout "APRIL FOOL!" but something came up and I didn't. Damn.

So, uh.. April the second fool?

Come on now.. IF I was EVER going to give all this up do you honestly think an ego as big as mine would let it lie at one tiny post? Never ever.

Hey, keep watching this space guys, because the NEW Fortress Of Solitude is about 80% complete. Then the REAL fun begins!

And Ben.. thank you for your tears.

Hooray!

Glad to hear it! Although technically because you didn't "call" April Fool in time that makes YOU the fool...

Nice to hear your curmudgeonly ways haven't died out. Looking forward to the new site, too.

Shee-it. You had me there for a second. I haven't stopped by for about a week so the April Fools thing didn't really occur to me. Apologising to the mentally weak idiots who flock to the Pussycat Dolls, Gwen Stefanis, and bad Euro-pop singers of the world? AH, HELL NAW!!!! Can't wait to see the new Fortress.
