After announcing that I was delaying the book, I recognized my failure in opening the lines of communication with the people who matter most in this whole project: the fans. What better way to do this than through a personal website? To be fair, I wasn’t looking forward to the thought of needing to redesign my site, especially after the hurtful loss of my art-book. Still, as my producer recently told me, the only way to slay the demons of self doubt is to get right back in the saddle (as soon as you stop using so many sloppy metaphors, of course).

“So where should I start?” I wondered. “Why not take an old design I really liked that never worked for TGA, tweak it until it looks different enough so no one notices, and get the most done with minimal effort?” I was even able to ‘pass the programming buck’ to a good friend, avoiding countless hours struggling to make my design work properly.

I’ve finally accepted that leaving atheism scene did not mean I’ve lost my appetite for attention-seeking. In a sense, I now feel as though without the constraints of representing ‘atheism’ in any way, shape or form, I can finally indulge in some glorious self-aggrandizing behavior without needing to worry about how it might make ‘atheism’ look bad.

Of course all of this is pretty vague, and as usual I often promise more than I can deliver. But I hope you’ve appreciated my honesty in owning up to my failures, and you still enjoy it when I try to impress the shit out of you.
