Re: Retiring....for real this time!
For those of you who know me, you know the last 3-5 years have been rough for me. Unemployed, no car, no drivers license and living with my parents with almost no hope to get out of the rut i was in. My life completely turned around a year ago when my daughter came to live with me full time. Since then ive got my license back, took my GED test and this past November i finally got a job again. I recently started my manager's training at Arbys and by this fall i hope to be in school studying to be a chef. The most unexpected event to happen to me was getting a girlfriend. Shes a student from Russia and a great girl, you guys would love her.
Most of you have noticed that i havent been around much the last few months. I have no desire to actually play IC again. Its far too time consuming now. What little time i do have for recreation is spent with my daughter, girlfriend, family and rl friends. I just dont have the time to play actively or even semi-active anymore. That being said i will officially quit the Think Tank group. No sense in the others waiting on my input.
Over the past few years ive had alot of fun moments and some 'not so fun' moments. I love the community and the connections ive made over the past 12 years. Ill stop by IRC occasionally and hang out when i get time. So this isnt a 'goodbye im gone forever' type of post. Im just not playing or dealing with the actual game itself.
Im not gonna list a bunch of names of people ive played with or anything cheesy like that. If you played with me and we were cool, you know who you are!! Ive had some great rounds and some i dont care to remember! I can walk away from the game knowing ive won more rounds than most. I hope to be remebered as one of the best (if not THE best) Partaxian/Resourcer to ever play the game.
I thank everyone from the Mod team and everyone else who played with me in the past. Thanks for the great time and memories!!
Cya around
