After being apart of this community for these past three years, and after countless efforts of keeping this place running, I am just ready to call it quits. If you look at the board now, it is just deader than ever, with no signs of comeback. Yet, that is only the tip of the iceberg.
I am just grown too occupied with real life to keep coming to this message board. If I am to host a kick-ass party, become a master of chess and Pocket Monsters, volunteer at the library, as well as continue to work at my job and keep on attending college, then I just can't keep coming here. In fact, I was also training to be an expert in karate, but I have put that on hold due to time constrains. So I feel like I need to put the message board interest behind me to live a more meaningful life, especially since I honestly hate message boards (but I do like the people on here).
I must say that with my recent feelings of depression, I cannot help but blame you guys for ruining both my faith in God and my love-life in one fatal blow. Sure, I can overlook NP's cute little comment on my obsessions; yeah, I felt a sting from HD's snide remark, which I could have countered if given enough time. But it was Steve's comment ("This end of the world bs is nothing to wrap your end around. Same with the Mayan civilization. It's all crap, dude." that sent me into a fit of rage and caused me to write 10k word piece on my instant renouncement of God. Sure, it's nice to accept the truth about life, but the thing is that the truth HURTS. More than I can even bear!
Like I said before, if I was under the impression that an (imaginary) being was going make my speed-dating night go fantastic, I would have gone. But because I am now committed to only the truth, I bailed out on the event by realizing what it was: just another scam for those scumbags to make money. I completely regret not going, especially since I NEVER got my money back. What's worse is that I got banned from future events for not showing, up so there is no second chance for me. I thought I could be happy living the single life, and even though I am quite the opposite, I am just going to have to try toughing it out. So as you can tell, I am kind of mad at you guys, but I don't hate any of you. I just need some time to cry and nurture some emotional wounds, and coming on here just gives me too much grief.
Finally, much like what NP posted, things are likely going to get drastic, if not apocalyptic, under the presidency of Mitt Romney. War with Iran at this point is no longer a matter of if but when. So when the shit does the fan, I want to have my life together by then, maybe even get exempt from having any part in it. Yet, I can't get my life together by wasting my time on a forum.
As we have seen, we have seen so many prolific members come and gone; many of whom now have lives. Pat hasn't been on in a month, Hawk hasn't been on for two weeks, Mike and Eduljee are no longer prolific posters, and I have found myself posting here less and less. I just don't see any point in coming here anymore if I have bigger things to attend to; especially if this will serve no other purpose than to be a distraction from those things.
Though, Steve, I must encourage you to keep this forum. For the sake of your reviews. Please keep on writing and publishing them, and someday you just might make it big. That said, I wish to keep my account on here should I ever decide to come back, but that doesn't seem likely anytime soon. With a post count of 1,577, how can I have that be thrown away? That said, I may eventually go over your latest review as an unregistered guest, but that is about it.
Again, I may someday be back, but for now it is time for me to "seriously get a life." If any of you wish to still communicate with me, I am still on Facebook. As for this place, I am just done here. I leave you now with this song by John Lennon, which expresses exactly how I feel.
