Almost 7 years ago I created my first website, entering my teens I thought it was something cool to occupy myself with. Wow that sure turned into a dirty dirty lie.

I tinkered around from the general page like Homers Web Page to a few days later a website of my interests at my time- for Harvest Moon and the Nintendo DS. I kicked out the moon and let the water flow of random crappy Nintendo DS sites- while the first true original only DS sites- like all from that time that started new disappeared to nothing.

I then brought Another Code Labs onto the scene and it took off as a nesh site- for awhile it was going alright, but my own desire to change the design all the time and ad more themes- oh and change the cms or html style all the time ended it hitting the gutter as well.

Add to that the few general side sites- and the latest atravasty of 5xxt.com, everything I tried to work for disappeared and well, nothing to show for it now.

This year I’ve made a few designs for trinest.com, but really while at the beginning tried to start it up again- ended up it to hitting rock bottom, a depression as they might say to not work on the site- or do anything to the pages it contained. A few times I deleted the site and uploaded it again- wtf did I do that for? I don’t know.

If I was to end now- I wouldn’t hit the 7 year mark, but I would still part of one of the latest generations of Australian video game website designers- but with nothing to show for it in the end- who gives a crap.

When I was young it seemed something fun, oh lets post the latest pictures of some random fucking DS game- oh great a few hits- awesome.

I never cared about hits, I just did it cause I could- but also I wanted to build something up- well that never happened.

I have learned in the end- if you called this an experiment, that yes I can make webpages and I’ve learned lots of stuff along the road. A very very interesting road.

I don’t want it to end now- but I want it to end soon, the lack of interest to keep going with the projects I’ve started, but at the same time an interesting feeling to keep making random new sites- it seems that these days the internet isn’t as interesting as it used to be- I say especially considering I’m “mr. nerd lol” then maybe I used it as an escape? Oh crap I’m babbling- but the point is now days its not as fun, I do my shit, check my emails- order a few things online then piss off and if there’s nothing else to do- go to fucking bed. What a miserable fucking existence.

For it to end- I want it to end on one particular day- 7 years from when I started my first Geocities account and made my first website 10th March 2010.

I’ve dipped around and made some random blog posts of personal experiences in the past life- made a fool of myself on youtube with my shitty reviews, and in all ends developed my English skills from a bottom in the year to 4th place- fucking yay….oh wait 4th last I meant- my English she’s not good.

I’ve wanted to do other projects- I started them yes, but interest faded soon after and now I just don’t give a shit anymore.
