Goodbye, GannsDeen.com

I’ve given it much thought and I think it’s time to face the inevitable. This isn’t easy, but then again, many major decisions aren’t. After more than three years, I think it’s time.

GannsDeen.com has run its course.

I’m a servant of one God, husband of one, dad of two, and a communicator/friend to more than 8,000. These are my priorities, and I need to focus on that. Somehow, the joy has gone out of maintaining so many websites, and with the limited time in my hands, I want to put that time to good use. Worrying about GannsDeen.com’s direction takes it out of you. So I’m pulling myself out of the equation.

I’ll keep this website up for another two weeks, then use GannsDeen.com to forward to my Multiply URL (http://gannsdeen.multiply.com).

I’m still online, and I hope you’ve enjoyed hanging out with me on my own website as much as I’ve enjoyed hanging out with you. If you’d still like to keep in touch, please change your links to gannsdeen.multiply.com, and I’ll add your websites to my RSS feed and links section as well.

Aside from Ganns Deen on Multiply, here are other places I will continue to frequent:

• Life With Gina
• Future Thin Guy
• Plurk
• Facebook
• Friendster
• Twitter

See you on the other side, boys and girls.

Lately, work has been feeling like… work.

I’ve enjoyed myself at my job for more than eight months, but yesterday was the first time I actually felt like… ew. I dislike feeling that way, that helplessness with the workload, that feeling that work wasn’t fun.

When my job stops becoming enjoyable and starts feeling like actual “work,” I know what’s coming up. The inevitable weight gain. Plus, I get all cranky, and… it’s just not good for my mood. I start to complain and get all snippy… it’s not a pleasant feeling.

So, today, I lift up in faith a prayer for patience, anointing for wisdom and creativity, given the types of materials I am now being called to produce, and an inner strength to resist the temptation of binge eating to deal with the stress.

Ad-free zone

So GannsDeen.com is now ad-free. Cheers. :)
