From Paris with love…

“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”
― William Jennings Bryan

Hello everyone! If you’re reading this then you probably follow me on Twitter or a friend on Facebook so I thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m actually typing this from my hotel in Paris and it’s been quite the experience so far.

I had some thoughts and wanted to blog about it. So here we go…

In all honesty I suck at keeping up with things (i.e. my YouTube channel) and I really want to change that so I had to do some soul searching and I realized that  if there is anything I want to do I cannot make any excuses and simply needed to go out and make it happen.

Does that mean I am going to revive The GOML?

No.

In fact, I want to kill the site (more on that in a second). I guess kill is a harsh word but I feel like making a news site is kind of pointless. The logo is cool though.

Since my last post a lot has changed in my life. I work for the IGN Pro League now (people still don’t seem to know that), I live in San Francisco and I haven’t casted like I used to in 2012. It felt like I was in every single stream or live show for CoD and that’s died down a lot since then. I even remember reading a comment on YouTube from a guy who said “Goldenboy is the most overused caster out there” so I guess that guy got his wish! ;P

Now on to the killing of The GOML!

I guess kill was a harsh word but I want to focus on building something more personal. I feel like people enjoyed The GOML but not enough to care about it. Perhaps I’m wrong? Who knows.

In any case I wanted to end this blog by thanking those who have been a fan of my work and supporting me. I know this entire blog has been all over the place but that’s what has been on my mind and I thought I would take this chance to talk about it.

Later!

Announcing the LocalBattles ProAM Series!

The contest ends on August 6th so act fast because if  the Summer Championships were anything like the Spring Championships you are in for an awesome ride!
