Move on? Where to now







For the past 2 1/2 years I've been playing World of Warcraft. I've played as a healer and for the majority of that time I was able to participate in some of the hardest and most challenging content of the game in 25 man heroic raiding. Those days have come to an end. I quit the game this week. I'd been thinking of quitting for a few months but didn't because though I knew that it was taking up almost 90% of my free time. Time that I should have been using to update my portfolio, look for better work, learn to fucking spell, To do the one thing that I've loved more than anything in the world MY ART!!! I didn't quit to do any of those things because I was still enjoying the game. I was enjoying it until the most recent expansion was launched (Mists of Pandaria.) There are parts of the game I still enjoy but for the most part I hate the game now. I don't want to go into details why because this is an art Journal not a video game blog. Since quitting I now need to find something else to do since I can't force myself into a coma of sleep, hell I'm having so much trouble sleeping at all.


I can now do all of the things I mentioned before because yes WOW was taking up that much of my life, but where do I start. For the first time in almost a year I've picked up my sketchbook. Inspiration that fucking cunt I love so much hit me the night I decided to finally call it quits with WOW so I have at least one new piece of art. I don't have a scanner though there is one at work but when I hate my job more than I hate WOW I don't really care to spend any extra time there scanning art and then moving those scans from my work PC to a thumb drive or email to myself for future uploads here. Drawing again and reading have been nice but I still don't know what the fuck I want to do.


I'll try to get at least one piece up here soon. Just cause it serves as a reminder that I QUIT, it was my choice and now I have to live with it no matter where it drops me. I'll leave a place holder here to link to that piece once I can bring myself to finish it and give it a name.
