Holy crap.... been a bit too long since I'vve done anything in here. The mice are taking over.


Well i'm not going to be around until like Mon night when I get to work. I'm about to leave for New Market where Plinko is now living with one of my other best friends. I'm bringing the 3rd of the 4 of our old crew with me. Sadly the 5th guy can't be part of the weekend this time, but for good reason. His girlfriend (actually the girl that we had staying with us about a year or so ago) is only days away from giving brith to their baby, and I wasn't about to even think about asking him now. He'll just go with us the next time.
I'm absolutely stoked for this weekend though. It's the only time I can talk about being part of a kliq.. but it's only because we're huge nerds, and it's in reference tot he old wrestling group that used to run things in the WWE years ago. There were 5 guys that were the top of the company, and even when 3 of them left for WCW all that happened then was that they ran both companies. That's why we call ourselves the "Kliq"... because when we're together we feel like we can take on the whole world and win.

I'll drop a few lines and aybe some pics if I take any when I get back.
Take care of one another, and God Bless you all.

I hope you have a great time, and keep us posted on your friends's baby news!!

 

Well now things are getting scary for my job. I missed yesterday, and I'll be missing tonight. I F'd up my ankle pretty good like some of you know the other day. Well yesterday when I was going to get kala it went out again, and this time I ended up face down in the snow.
I made it through driving the manual transmission car to get her, and then called HR at my job, becaue I knew it wasn't going to be something I could walk off. I talked wth them, and pointed out that I really couldn't afford to loose my job, and they talked and let me know that I had to do whatever I needed to get better ...Yada Yda.. Well I went to the clinic, got in, and lo and behold... I'm really getting old, and I never saw it coming.
When the doctor looked at the xray he was shocked. He told me that due to my ankle having been so weak, and over the years the amount of damage it's taken had cause dit to basically be the equal of a man 10-15 years older than I am. So now he had me set up an appointment with a specialist, and i'll see what happens then. i'm thinking I might be looking at surgery. So if that happens I really am going to be scared that I'm going to loose my job.
regardless I'll more than likely have to start wearing a brace mos tof the time for the rest of my life. It's not going to be some big bulky thing, but it's still going to be there. anoying me, and pissing me pff that I'm all gimped up. Sucks even a little more because I missed the city tourny for bowling last night also. I was looking forad to it, and couldn't go.

One last bright side. One of my best friends and his girlfriend (the young lady who stayed with us last year) had their baby yesterday. I geuss the little girl is all my buddy fromthe neck down (hairy), but then the face is all a little version of Echo. I'm looking forward to being able to talk with him and her to congradulate them both.

sweets... you'll make it thru this!  with your talents and ideas you can do anything you want!!! go for the best... see the best in this... it is part of the path that leads you to what you are siupposed to be doing... chin up, man!

I don't have any mushy gushy words to say, other than I hope you feel better soon, pain-wise at least.

Tell your friends congrats on the baby for me! What's her name?

 

newborns can lose all the hair... let's hope it's a temporary thing!!

Wharrrre oh wharrrre is our snootch tonight? Why did he leeeeeeave us here all alooonnnnnne???

Here I am.

Yay!!!! Snootch showed up! But where was i?

OOoohhh..........

Well as is the way of the world for me. For all things good I find or get i in return have to deal with loss. This is something i was going to post yesterday, but just didn't want to deal with it mnore than I already had to when it happened.
As of Monday morning XboxBar.com is officially closed. We had been having issues a while back, and after the purge of some members we found it hard to comletely rigth the ship. It was slower than this place is some day on a regular basis. So now I had to sit back, look at the hours of time and effort I've poured into all of that, and the hard work that Jb and myself put into tryong to save the place. I honestly felt like I had lost someone in my family when he first threw that at me. It was maybe par tmy fault due to my posting that we would be closing most of the inactive accounts, but it was also due to a couple of those SOB's that cause dth eissues a while back. I was on Sunday night, and i noticed as usual that like all of them that left, he wasn't posting. OK... I normally wouldn't care, but I got curious. i took a look in the back office, and noticed that he was looking through our members list. That led me to believe that he was doing one of two things, and neither one being useful. He was either looking to find contact info for members to bring in to his pace (He denies this), or he was looking around to see how inactive many people were there to go back and have a laugh at our expense, and i refused to allow one or both of those to happen. I decided to post a thread to ALL (not just them) of the on active members that there would be some cleaning of the members list, and the reasons why. I also sent a PM to that individual basically asking him WTF he was doing looking throught eh membes list. He didn't say one way or another, but then JB ended up getting bitchy messages back from a couple of the guys that had left. That's when JB pretty much threw the towel in and let the ship sink to the depths to never be seen again.
I sit here wondering what if anything could have saved BAR, and the only thing i keep thinking is "I should have taken JB up on his offer rght after the holidays". He offered to give the whole place to me with no catch or anything. i don't know if i feared running it and failing by myself, but now I see that it doesn't matter, and I shoul have given it a shot on my own mainly because then i wouldn't be looking back and wondering "What if" I at least would know i did all i could. JB was ready to give it up, and I couldn't stop him. If I had taken it over when it was offeres I know I may have gshut it down for a little while (Like a week) to get thigns cleaned up, but I would have opened it witha renewed fervor, and worked at getting it up to the level I still feel that it should have been.
i have already gotten a couple offers form two forums to do some of the things I had been doing for BAR, but not even close to what I was doing.
First i can get a small (section for threads i believe) at battlebud.com that I believe at some time I might take them up on.
Next I was contacted by N0M4D about becoming a MOD at the EOG (equal opportunity gamers) forums. he believe that I'd be a good fit, and he has a few issues with some of the MODS he's got right now. The EOG offer I think will be the first on I take. It's a decent place, and i like that I had enough impact on Randy to have him offer me the position.
I'll only for the time being be working on my blogspot though. I'll be taking a week or two to get my head right to be working on a forum again.

Thanks to the Treehouse peeps as always for your support and understanding in the times that I've been working with BAR, and the fact that as always you've all been there and not questioned what i was working towards.
