When I first started this blog a couple years ago, the idea was to have a place to share my excitement for pop culture. Inspired by a friends website, Votaries of Horror, I was excited to examine, study, and straight up geek out about all things media.
Unfortunately, something went awry in the two years since starting. Life got busy, hard times (and happy times) came and went, and for better or worse, I grew up. Don't get me wrong, I still love comics and movies and TV. I'm still a Geek, a hardcore Whedon fan, and obviously I play too much World of Warcraft, as I haven't been writing as much since I started playing.
During those hard times, I would sometimes write on this blog, and while I still tried to keep with the original spirit I intended, those blogs of frustration began to outnumber the fun posts.
I've realized recently that while I still love all the things I did when I started this blog, I've changed. My life is about different things now. When I started this blog, I was still a recently married college student, working part time at a call center and spending most of my free time at a comic shop.
Today I work as a behavioral therapist, I've been married five years and my son recently had his first birthday. And I got him a Batman cake.
Which brings me to my point. I've decided to close Price of Eggs in China. Truth is it has been in semi-retirement for awhile now. I still hope to post something every now and then. but this will may only be on a monthly basis. It's not that I've run out of things to say, certainly the opposite, it's just that those things I have to say are about a different topic.
As such, I will be starting a new site that I hope to make a weekly blog on Parenting for new fathers, especially new geek fathers. Having gone through a year of the experience myself, I feel it's something I have alot to say about, and it's something I'm excited about. The best part is that it will help focus me on positive topics.
Over the years I've only had a handful of readers, but I hope that if they still tune in, they'll follow me over to the new site. I'm grateful for their love and support over the years, and promise to try to be more diligent with the new site than I was with this one. My plan is that if and when I have something Media related to talk about, which sadly is rare these days, it'll end up here. So, check in, and I'll announce the new blogs over at the new site.
UPDATE-
The new blog lasted about tgwo posts before i realized that someone else had the idea first, and did it better than I ever would. I hope to return to posting on this site soon.
