Sorry guys, for those who actually look at and appreciate my stuff and follow me, but I'm outta here. If I decide that I really want my art and everything up for the world to see again, it's gonna be on my own site.

This is for both broad and specific reasons. On a specific level, like I mentioned before, I cannot stand the fact that my art can be posted to all these stupid social networking sites by anyone in the world, one of which I'm guilty of being on, but may leave soon as well. I'm tired of everything getting changed around all the time. I'm tired of being subjected to people's completely artless pictures of genitalia and cliche MySpace shots. I'm tired of thinking that I'm going to become actual friends with someone who watches me/is being watched by me and it never happens. And I'm tired of this thing I've unintentionally fallen into where I feel like people's comments and favorites and pageviews validate me and my art.

On a broader scale, I'm tired of the paradox of being social online. That's just not how it's supposed to go. I've spent less and less quality time with people and had far fewer face to face or phone conversations, and instead chat on facebook or text or whatever. I'm socially impaired as it is, and I'm never going to improve that if I just talk to people online or through texts. I'm quitting the brain-numbing cult that is online "social networking". I doubt anyone will be too terribly disappointed.
