In my recent search for a new hosting service, I also made another big decision that'll bring about more changes. I decided that it was time to go by another name. Another domain name, that is.

The original thought behind attack22.com was to commemorate my life-changing "heart attack" episode that occurred when I was at the tender age of 22. I was a closed-mouthed guy who didn't say much or have much to say, and this was my way of facing it head-on and getting myself to open up about it. It was traumatic, overwhelming and revealing all at once...and I made my way through it all.

Something that I didn't anticipate at the time is where I would end up years later. Never did I imagine just how much things would change. I'm completely flipped upside down nowadays, but in a good, no GREAT, way. I never thought life could be this good to me, giving and showing me things that I never thought I'd get to see or experience.

Of course, it's not all gravy every second of the day. It never will be. There are still the everyday stresses of life, work and family, but overall, I'm at such a better place and in such better company. I'm truly content.

So where am I going with this, you ask?

I've become increasingly uncomfortable with this domain name and what it represents. I've played the cards life has dealt me, but now I've got a new hand. No time to dwell on bad fortune, but rise to hopes of good fortune. I'm never going to forget my past (and don't want to), but my past doesn't define me anymore. I've got to live as I am now, not as I was. It's a simple case of "that was then, this is now."

No matter gay or grim;
it's those tiny little sparks
daily life that makes me
forget my wounded heart.

From the lyrics of one of my favorite songs ever, Royksopp's "Sparks", I think this sums up most accurately what I want to express and share with the world, and how that in turn reflects back onto me and my life.
