Perfectly fine. I just get easily offended when people question my intentions.
If you saw my video, at the end, I clearly say that this isn't the end for me on Youtube. The Youtube dream is still there, just not with wrestling animations. Yeah who knows maybe I could eventually make one animation video if I want to, the opportunity is definitely open. Until then, I have no intention.

I got 3 and a half minutes into this and heres what I think.
1. Everyone is lazy. The older you get the worse it is. I don't know if you have a real job or not, but if you do, you're only lazier on your days off. 2. Imposterism. It sounds to me like something someone would say who does not support you. It shouldn't matter what it is you're doing as long as you're doing something that doesn't harm anyone else. And if you feel your work is not substantial because it is humor related... People need to laugh more in this world. If you're a person who can make people laugh, you need to stick to it. It's the best therapy there is. It sounds to me also like you're having trouble growing up, or maybe there is a girl you like and are embarrassed by your hobbies. Personally I think keeping a kid inside of you is important in life. Do you want to work a factory job for no money to support 3 kids that don't care you not to mention what kind of shape your wife is in. Or do you want to play with toys, and do things that make you feel good? Just because one persons idea of life doesn't match yours doesn't make yours wrong.
In my opinion, it seems as if you really care and enjoy your hobby. I think you will end up doing more damage to yourself but cutting it out completely, than to continue to use it to blow off steam and create something you are proud of and show self accomplishment. Im 26 years old now and I wish I never sold my old toys off and still had them, in fact it's cost me a lot of time and effort just to get new figures to be able to enjoy the hobby of collecting and doing customs again.
Your life is your life, you don't have to agree with me. I've just been down this road before. It's only a matter of time before you want all your stuff back and to make new videos but then it will be long gone and hurt even worse.

It might be because I animate or because I have known Blake a long time but I get where he is coming from. Its got to the stage where animating is no longer fun for him. The idea of it is fine but the practicality of it isn't. He has made the decision to quit and I think you guys should respect that. Not make him feel worse. As I said earlier. I wish you the best man. If need anything, you got me on skype

Well you know just how much i supported you throughout. I tried to get you to make mania and it ALMOST worked but i was sad to not see it happen. You've genuinely become one of my best mates on skype and that, and i cant believe you saw me in New York and walked straight passed me (story for another day guys) but yeah seriously, thanks for all the support you've shown ME as well over the years man. Going to miss not seeing you in my subs box

Great video Blake..and completely understandable on every point. I'm gonna miss you..even though I rarely visit YouTube/Skype/Wfigs anymore. The memories I've had with you and many others will be with me for the rest of my life. Until next time.

Well, I know you don't know me very much, and I don't know you. But, I have watched your videos since day one, and I have appreciated them since then. Your videos were entertaining, and in all honesty, they were always well put together. I have been a fan of yours since forever, and I am deeply saddened to hear that you are hanging up the camera and the equipment. I can assume it is pretty difficult and emotional to do that, as I can't do that either, because I enjoy it with a passion, and I know it might take me some place one day. But, I know that you will be missed, by me, and the fellow animators on YouTube and WFigs. All I can say, is "Thank You Blake", for not only doing a spectacular job entertaining us, but by stealing the show. Thank you man.
