This Is Not An Update

This is not an update. It looks like an update, but trust me. It isn't. This is a message. A message of warning. A message of knowledge. A message of change. It's a harbinger. A prediction. An omen. This message is here to tell you that The X Bridge is about to change. Some of you will like and embrace this change. Most will loathe and be disgusted by it. Some will feel that I've left them behind. Some will feel that I should have left everything behind. What will this change bring? Some old, familiar attitudes. Some new, unfamiliar opinions. No campaigns. No revolutions. It's time to put some things behind us for good. Moving on isn't just for whiny politicos anymore. It's time for the site to grow up. Look beyond its boxed in environments. I'm a well-rounded person, and I want the site to represent that spherical viewpoint of mine. I'm not going to be a nice guy. I'm not going to be a whiny, emo punk either. I'm going to cut the juggular of every institution I know. I will offend friends. I know some of my opinions will rub people the wrong way. So be it. I will piss off the status quo. I might end up ticking off my site's host for stepping on the institutions they hold dear. As a result, I will maintain my independence. My freedom. My site. I'm not handled by anybody. I'm not handcuffed to the past. I'm no longer bound to be a shill for something I no longer believe in. People may see that as throwing in the towel. My focus is stronger than it has ever been. I'm not giving up anything. I call it growing up. Something a lot of people should try to do at this point. Creativity will be celebrated. Conformity will be damned. Somebody once asked if it's better to be loved or feared? Looking at the way of the world, seeing how it truly works, I believe it's better to be feared. I'm no longer asking you to watch this space. Space is empty, void, and and emotionless. The world is better than that. The events of the last decade led me to this point. A new chapter in my life that I wouldn't have been prepared for years ago. I'm ready. You'll ready too. 7X8 Jeff Harris, Webmaster, The X Bridge.
