Yeah, it's me. I am yet again back from an extended absence. GC2.0? Who knew?
Reading eclipse's posts about K6 and the "olden" days, made me think of said period in my life. GC will celebrate its 10 year anniversary this coming year... doesn't seem possible, I know. I was a boy of 16 then, and that doesn't seem possible either. Perhaps as I edge into my late twenties I have become incredulous to the fact that I was every young, in denial if you will. However, I do not deny my current age-- too futile of an endeavor to do such a thing. And why would I want to do such a thing? I am engaged and live in NYC now, my life is far better now than when I was an angst ridden teen; blasting heavy metal music and smoking way too much... and playing thane volleyball. I was obsessed with the game at that time, I knew everything there was to know... statistics and strategy, you know the kind of things that if you talk about at a party, you will go home alone. But that was my life at that time, and I don't regret it. I have great memories of the old gc chat, and my friends, which I will admit myself I have neglected. But that is the past, our past... and soon someone will pick up our relinquished torches -- and it will become their future.
more meat for the meat eaters I guess...
