Wow...two long years for me today...
Crazy stuff, man.
But I think it's around that time to call it quits. I don't know. This place kinda bores me these days. It's kind of died. It's a nice place. The people that run it kick 10 kind of ass.
But, look at it this way.
I spent an assload of time on here. I posted 2612 things so far. I've pissed at least 100 people off. I've pwned NightRanger at least 100 times. I've been warned zero times. Outside of the forums, I made people cry, yell, threaten to sue me, call me and request stupid things on my old radio show, ask me for lude images of my friends, actually believe that I was dying of a rare blood disease (suckers), think that I was an alcoholic, get really super pissed because I made fun of their mother/girlfriend/pet, and random bits of fun that I enjoy real horrorshow at the expense of others.
Am I sorry about any of it? A few bits and pieces here and there. But the internet does this to one's mental and emotional state. It gives them a false sense of friendship, security, belongingness, and all that good stuff that a person really needs to maintain a healthy mentality. However, it's all false (unless you actually meet the people). I get along great with some people online, and they're cool. They're freaking awesome to talk to. Online. However, that requires nothing more than sitting in front of your computer and typing a bunch of keys in a certain order as fast as you can without screwing up (well...for some people) and actually blurting out what comes to your mind. I was actually supposed to meet a couple of cool cats from here this week (however, they have yet to return my call, which makes me none too pleased, but what can I expect from a total stranger?). That's where the line between one's digital avatar and offline personality blurs. It seems quite odd to me. To others, it's natural.
I require more. Socialization, which I get a lot of. It's just that this is an obstacle in the way of more of it. This fine place has occupied my time just to past the time (as it was first intended to do), but ended up become more of a habit than anything. Not an obsession or anything that people have dreams about or anything. Just something that became commonplace in my life. It wasn't/isn't really needed, but whatever.
So yeah, I'll be ghosting around here from time to time. I'll still outsmart people 10-20 years older or a bit younger than me using oddly-crafted rhetoric and cryptic insults whenever the time is needed. And yeah, I'll still be cooler than all of you and your mothers and such.
Enough with the crazy jibber-jabber.
Shine on, you crazy diamonds
