Please pass the liquor.

Well, it's fucking April already. Summer is lighting up over the horizon and already pushing heat our way. Before you know it we'll all be like ants under a focused magnifying glass between the sanctum of air conditioned bliss and our hopeful destinations. I've been up to work and more work. In the virtual arena, I relinquished my position as Guild Leader as it became more troublesome than it was worth. After countless sermons about what my team needed to do to get back on track falling on deaf ears and an unbiased delivery of guild removal to a member I really didn't know nor have issue with resulting in a subsequent threat to my safety and that of my family, I realize that administrating the guild was really not worth the drama that came along with it by default. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my time there... but when people started getting antsy and stopped listening, I knew it was time for a change. I really did try though... at this point they will be better without me. I needed a fresh start. In the Real World, I have been disenchanted with how life is playing out. I am not happy most of the time. It's not that I have a reason to be not happy. Work is good. Home is good. I generally feel that time is slipping away and I'm not really getting the satisfaction out of life that I should be... I feel like I should be doing something else... something more. I need to get in better shape first and foremost. It's not that I'm the 1200 pound fella laying on a bed of crushed Doritos and feces because I can't lift myself off the couch, but I am certainly not the ripped 6-pack sporting gent of a few years ago either. I need to spend more time behind my camera. It makes me happy. I am trying. I find that when I am outside and around green stuff I smile... when I'm around cement and machinery, I frown. I have a long range plan that has become more fuzzy as the months have passed. It is increasingly unclear how to get from here to there... wherever "there" is now-a-days. In general, this entire predicament is nothing the Mega-millions Lotto or Powerball couldn't instantly rectify. Money might not buy happiness, but like they say, it will buy you a big fucking boat to sail right up next to Happiness. You can shake up a martini and offer Happiness a toast. I don't really care for money... but time is money and I really care for time. It's a conundrum. Maybe all I need is perspective? Although untrue, it seems that I can't find the time to get a grip on even that...
That is the most amazing post my friend. I wish you all the best in life. I would also like to thank you for all the great times we had in game. I will remember them forever.

1. Guild? What game? If it’s WoW, point me to the realm!
2. Please spend more time with camera.
3. If you and EL are ever in South Florida, I’m buying drinks.
Cheers, friend.
buying drinks? w00t!
I decided a long time ago that I only had time to pretend I had time for 1 MMORPG and all my peops at the time were into EQ2. Although WoW looks fun, I can’t play more than 1. I’m scared if I try it I’ll like it too much and then all that time I have invested in my toon will have to be respent. LOL.
RE: the camera schtuff… soon young grasshoppa! Summer is coming and I aim to aim at more people.
Yeah, good call. Don’t start playing WoW. You won’t stop.
I hear’ya bro. We both need more time behind the lens. You’ve inspired me to experiment with more still photography to better myself for motion pictures.
Hey, I’ve got a thought, let’s go chase some tornados!
Dude, I feel ya. I just took a NOC job cuz I get four days off at a time and no one calls you after work.
My plan to retire by 35 isn’t shaping up so well. I might be competing with you for that lotto win, that or we can split it.
As far as happiness goes, I’m ok there. I make myself happy. My family and friends make me happy. Work’s pretty much the suckage. If I can find a way to phase that out, I’m good to go.
