I'm unfortunately in a position where I can't really get on much at all. Now, for some people, there is no such excuse as not enough time as people with busier schedules manage to make ends meet and spend days on end in the fed. Oleksa himself will tell you this as he does, constantly when pissed off. However I, am not one of those people who manage to do that. Recently I took up a job and it's taking about 12 hours out of my day, Monday through Friday. I've been taken under the wing of my new boss and put on his bowling team. That completely takes out three of my days as I have to bowl on three days I work for three hours. Giving me an hour to two hour to sleep and whatever, which I've chosen to spend on running in the mornings and swimming in the evenings. That's, on Tuesday's and Thursdays for the swimming, and running well, every to every other day in the morning before getting ready for work. On weekends I go to the gym for about a hour, going to bump that up to two, to three. Other that, I don't do much for weekends. Although that's going to change very shortly as I'm trying to live very actively for training. However I have very limited access on those two days anyways, and I'm sure anyone I talk to on a daily basis will be able to say, well, I haven't been on much. I started on a roleplay Friday for example, and this has been my first oppurtunity to get on since then. Three damn days.

So I want to apologize to Lenne and Wes. I really was looking forward to the trio tournament. I loved it last year, I had so much fun with it when it was just me and Wes going at it, and this year I got the team I asked for, yet now I find myself unable to really roleplay for the event. I'm letting both of them down and it sucks because like I said, I really wanted to participate in this year's trio tournament. I can't even stay on long right now. I have to get off, do shit for my aunt, go shopping, by some food and make shit for tomorrow,and then try to go to sleep to only get up, at 6, and go to work. And so on and so on. Yes, some of these activities are all by choice, however they're also things I want to do. I'm working now to get training so I can start my own detailing business, which would strictly be me working my ass off for, a ton of money. And I'm training, because as many are aware, I do have plans on wrestling. That's what I'm working for. To get a ton of money, so, I can afford the fucking training that ranks anywhere from 2,000-5,000 dollars from a professional, then to have the money to live off of while I attend these typically six month grueling tortures, to then afford to travel, and, for my ultimate goal, to go overseas. I'm prioritizing, and well, as much as I love writing and roleplaying here, I'm not going to just sit here for another three years doing nothing but this and some shit job I hate. I have to do these things, and now that I am, well, I just don't have any time left. I'm going to keep trying to roleplay, when I do get brief moments like this, but for starters, I need an extremely light schedule as far as writing is concerned. I hope everyone who cares understands, it's just a shame it comes now that I've had some success and I'm actually roleplaying on a more consistent basis, but, it happens.

Calvan, as far as your problem goes, you're doing thr right thing. None of us are ever gonna benefit from the thousands of hours we invest in this stupid game. Sure, we interest with people who we would never have even crossed paths with had we not started doing this, but at the end of the day...we're all wasting our time. All of us...myself included.

I play because its fun. It passes the quiet time I have when I'm bored. when that time goes, I'll have to go too.

Sure, I appreciate Mr. D's efforts. I've become good friends with alot of people from this game and I'd definately keep in contact with them...but this isn't our lives. You wanna be a wrestler? Then you're doing whats right for yourself...you're doing everything within your power to make it happen. Well played.

I myself, want to be in the music industry. I produce music and work with people with little talent, slowly building up so that as my ability improves, so do the artists I work with. The place I work closes this Sunday (forever) and I have an interview on Thursday...if I get that, I'll be travelling for 1 hour a day (2 hours, technically...there and back) so that will come into play with my spare time. I'm also going back to college to do music, sound & engineering - making it possible for me to work in a music studio. Couple that with my 2 business qualifications and my retail & distribution one that I already have, and I'll be in good stead to own my own recording studio, should my bank account permit it.

At the end of the day, efeding doesn't pay a wage. It's like playing Madden on your XBox...when it gets boring, you walk away. when you have a date, you walk away. When something better comes along, you walk away.

That's life. Enjoy it how you want to enjoy it.

Hopefully Its not that dumb Canadian 5 pin crap .. tried it .. and yeah .. not really all that entertaining ... here's some real advice ... get plasterrd at the lounge first .. it'll make aiming for the head pin all that much easier ... just roll the ball for the pin in the middle .. lol .. trust me ... i have a 185 average using that method :)
