A Big Announcement (Read This!!!)

Hey everybody!

I want to start off with an apology. Back in my review for Devin Townsend's 1998 release Infinity, I said that I would immediately put up a post the week after, detailing what is to be a big change for this blog. However, my Grandmother from South Carolina is coming up, and my family turned the  "Cleaning Up" button past 11, and we've been in overdrive to make the house look nice. I've also been doing the annual cleaning out our barn, and that's a task in and of itself. This year's barn cleaning was a little tougher, as I'm now starting on the second floor. The first floor ironically isn't so bad, as my Dad & I worked on it for years, then I've worked on it by myself for the past 2-3 years. The second floor is an incredible mess: stuff is strewn all over the place, nails stick out in places you wouldn't believe, and overall is really a tight space. Luckily, I've put a big dent in the second floor, as I can now move around much more than I used to. So I hope this is a good explanation as to why I was late.

Now, onto the big announcement. I've been maintaining the "Simple Anime Reviews & Facts" blog for a little over 3 years, and I've been enjoying it since day one. Starting out as nothing more than something to pass the time, this blog has become part self-therapy, part venting area, and part way to expose my geeky self to the world. However, I've been thinking about the concept of change lately (Hippie sounding, I know). Some of my favorite people have been passing away, and there have been things in my own life that have been changing (For better & for worse). So, I'm here to say that I am effectively ending this blog.

Yep, I'm ending this little portion of the internet. Despite the fun I've been having, I feel as though I've become a little too spread out. This doesn't mean I'm completely quitting from anime reviews, oh no! I'm still committed to reviewing something that I love very much, but I feel as if I need to make a big change at this point in my life. I cannot reveal details at this moment in time, but what I will say is that I'm starting up a new blog that will eventually replace this. I won't delete Simple Anime Reviews & Facts, as I'll be keeping it up for a little while longer so people who've enjoyed it in the past can look at it a some more. So with that said, please stayed tuned for future posts about the development of my reviewing career.

Until the next post, stay Otaku!
