Eric’s personal site and collective

I’ve been so stressed out and overwhelmed lately that it’s not even funny! I’m just now getting over having bronchitis. I had for it like a week and a half and I just felt like crap. I’m better now, though. I’ve really been getting into having fansites more now than ever. Since I have, I’ve sort of been taking on a lot more than I can probably handle. I didn’t realize how many I had until I was trying to think of what sites I need to update. This is how many I have:

• Kenny Chesney
• Michael Vartan
• Bradley Cooper
• Melissa George
• Stana Katic
• Emily Deschanel
• One Tree Hill
• Brad Pitt
• Keith Urban
• Alexis Bledel
• Dominic Monaghan
• Matthew Perry
• Sarah Michelle Gellar
• Michelle Trachtenberg
• Penn Badgley
• Katherine Heigl

Not to mention, I have these upcoming sites:

• Sugarland
• Miranda Lambert
• Jennifer Aniston

I honestly don’t think I can handle all of these sites. These are some of the sites that I could probably live without: Michael Vartan, One Tree Hill, Dominic Monaghan, Matthew Perry, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Penn Badgley. The problem is…… I just recently took on the One Tree Hill, Dominic Monaghan, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Penn Badgley sites. I don’t want to give them up because I love them all and I just took most of them on like last week, but I don’t know if I can handle all of these sites. I know I’m going to keep Kenny Chesney, Bradley Cooper, Melissa George, Stana Katic, Emily Deschanel, Brad Pitt, Keith Urban, Alexis Bledel, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Katherine Heigl. But I’m not sure about the rest….. Ugh, such a hard decision. What to do, what to do?

I honestly don’t know if I can run Kenny Chesney Source any longer. Kenny is my all time favorite singer and I love his music, but…. I don’t know. I’ve tried so many things to get more visitors and to people more involved with the site, but nothing has worked. I know there are tons of Kenny fans out there because Kenny Chesney has sole more concert tickets in the past couple of years than any other artist out there. So I know Kenny has millions of fans out there. There is this one Kenny Chesney site out there that, in my opinion, isn’t as good, but it gets all the visitors. My site has over 30,000+ photos in the gallery, tons of Kenny info, a streaming media site, a forum, etc. and that other one doesn’t even have 200 photos in the gallery and doesn’t have as many videos as my site either. The site has a really, really active forum, but for some reason I can’t even get 5 visitors. I’ve tried a forum before and it didn’t work out and I’m trying it again and it’s not working again. It just makes me so mad and aggravated that I can’t seem to get more traffic to my site. I’m not the type of person to try and compete with other fan sites because we want to support them and we don’t make sites to compete, but it really isn’t much fun if you don’t get visitors and you don’t get any interaction. This just really puts me in a bad mood. I never have any desire to update the site and I just don’t ever feel like working on it. But I don’t want to close the site or adopt it out. This was my very first site and I love to to death and I can’t imagine closing it or somebody else running it. I just don’t know what to do. Should I give it up, close it, or try and get back into running it. I’ve been in this situation 2 times before, but I still just can’t make up my mind. What do you guys think?

So…. After thinking about this for a little bit, I’ve decided to close Eric-McCormack.net. Eric is such an amazing actor and I loved him on Will & Grace and just about everything else I’ve seen him in, but I have absolutely no motivation to work on the site any longer. I had the site up for adoption for a couple of months, but nobody ever showed any interest in it. So I took it back hoping to get more motivation for the site, but after a month or two went by, I lost interest again. His show Trust Me got canceled and then he had a new show coming up, but it didn’t get picked up. But even though he will be making guest appearances on Law & Order: SVU and The Adventures of Old Christine, I still have no desire to work on the site. So I’ve decided to close the site…..

I’m getting very, very restless with all my sites. I love them all to death and I love running them, but at this point, I’m very bored with all of them. I can’t find anything to update and when I do, it’s something very small. None of them are really doing anything at the moment and it’s actually annoying me. lol. Since I’m getting restless, I really want to start a new site. But I’m having trouble trying to figure out somebody to one on. I really want to do one on Jennifer Garner or Katherine Heigl, but both celebs already have tons of great sites for them. I usually don’t not make sites because there are already great ones, but I feel like it would be a waste of time to make a site for a celebrity if nobody visits. Other than them, I can’t really think of any other celebrities that I want to do one on. There are so many celebrities out there, yet I can’t find one to do a site on. It’s driving me crazy. I’ll have more thought about this….

I’m finally back from vacation! I was originally supposed to be coming back home on Tuesday, but I decided to stay 4 extra days. And believe me, I’m so happy I did! lol. I had so much fun! We went out and played Bingo (I’m so mad because I was soooo close to winning $150! I was so mad! lol) a couple of times, I hung (is that a word? lol.) out with my family, and me, my sister, my brother, my cousin, and my cousin’s boyfriend went and were throwing water balloons at random strangers! lol. It sounds mean, but it was really fun! lol. As much fun as I had, I’m glad to be home. It was killing me being away from my sites for so long! I hated it! Surprisingly, there were basically nothing to update for most of my sites. My Bradley Cooper site has tons of things to update and my Kenny Chesney one had a couple, but other than that, there was like nothing to update. That’s a relief, I guess. lol. Anyways, I’m off to go work on my new site! It’s a surprise site that nobody knows about! Take care!
