Well, I never thought the day would come to say goodbye, but I believe now is the right time. Rather than simply shutting the site down and leaving it to rot, I thought about giving this site away. Then I thought that maybe it's best if I didn't. I don't know, you can always email me if you think I might actually hand it over to you.

I guess I should give a reason why I'm shutting this site down. Well, when I started this site, there were only one or two other Wes sites. One has long since been defuncted, having been everything from an anti-boy band site to an Oasis fan page. The other one, The Zest of Wes, hasn't been updated since the beginning of the year. I don't quite know why Wes sites have started deteriorating, but *shrug* I can't do anything about that. What gets me is that my site is getting an average of 300 hits a day, but no one ever emails me about the site. I used to get 30 or so a day!

However, the main reason I'm quitting this site isn't about any of you, but about me. Most of you have been very supportive, sending me stuff in and what-not. These people include but are not limited to Shelbe, Natalie, Natalie (Borland), Veronica, Bubblez, Melysa, Liahow, Shawna, and all the flame war people...it was lots of fun. :)

Anyway, yeah, I have a bunch of big problems lately, and I just have no time to maintain a website. I write in my ONLINE DIARY occasionally, and visit the club, but that's about it.

When I started this site in the summer of '99, I admit I was a teenybopper. Anyone can see this by going to the first pics page, where the top of the page says something about "the sexiest pic EVER!" I was fifteen, give me a break! Anyway, I'm almost eighteen now, and this is cliched, but people change. I made this site in the beginning as a shrine to a really unique (and, yes, *blushes in embarrassment* cute) guy, and I thought I was cool cuz I listened to big, bad Limp Bizkit. Now that I've grown up more and had more experiences, I find myself admiring other people. I still admire Wes's originality and "funness," but people I really relate to are people such as Jonathan Davis, Tori Amos, and Trent Reznor. Tori and Trent mainly for their songwriting talents, and Jonathan just for everything.

There are many, many Wes sites out there that I love and encourage you all to continue worshipping the Wessy one and visit those sites. Don't think that by closing this site I am saying that I don't like or admire him anymore, I do. I just don't possess the mental stability or uppityness needed to make this site as fun as it was in the beginning. As many of you know, depressive episodes and suicidal thoughts are bitches, and really you can't do anything except feel down when you have them. I feel that way a lot, and I'd be doing more harm to myself if I just kept this site up. It takes a lot of work to make a website great and keep it up...something I don't have time for anymore.

Aside from the depression thing, I've also got a crapload of other stuff going on. College/scholarship applications, plans to move, engagements, druggie buddies, pregnant friends, family problems...the list goes on, but this is not a woe-is-me tale.

I'm sorry to all the people who contined loving this site. Like I said before, you've all been very much appreciated. You can still write to me whenever your lil' cheesey hearts desire. I will keep this site up for you...maybe I'll unleash a password or two so you all can update pieces of it if you want. *shrug*

Love ya'll,

P.S.
Someday I may re-open this site, but you might all be 30 by then. LOL. :D
