Gruff off topic

I'm still convinced someone was cheating in the first Intersite game. I can't remember which team it was, but someone had a round of basically perfect results on us that pretty much knocked us out the game. I had thought it was Poly, but thinking back it was probably Grenouille who were the either luckiest people in existence or a bunch of slackjawed cheating ****s.

I can tell you guys were gentlemen and had nice, friendly, games.

Sarcasm, it helps me get through the days. Imagine a guy born in the 50s who has to see the world as its become. It ain't pretty. Jobs sent overseas, all that was good and wholesome about my country burned during Vietnam with politicians from hell. I can remember looking in the help wanteds when I got out of the army. No manufacturing, no good paying work, so I made it myself. Damn. "R e s p e c t!" was a song, each letter called out by a crowd. I guess they're dead now, as is their subject.

To be quite honest, when I'm gone few will miss me from my birth country, and I certainly won't miss what its become. Same with this place...

Good luck getting a game.

There is always hope. Gotta remind myself.

Have you considered perhaps not taking an internet forum quite so seriously?

[Lancer]

No, have you?

In dark places...sometimes you have to pull yourself up by your socks.

[kentonio]

No, have you?

Why on earth would you imagine I take anything about this place seriously? Forum drama is like watching two insanely drunk people try and have a fight. You know it's not going to result in anything significant, but you can be pretty sure it'll be hilarious.

Ethics, integrity, are always with us. Or gone from us.

Sometimes ya just gotta plant it and watch God on a roll.

It's a terrible idea to bring a knife to a gun fight.

[Lancer]

Get on with it then. I think I can take it.

More! Bring it! Quit being such wimps!

Lancer, as someone with serious mental health issues, I can say with a fair degree of confidence that the way you obsess over the past is not good for you. Perhaps you should seek help and come back to the forum when you're better.

Agree with this^^

Thanks Lori, but really, its okay. I think you should stay focused on yourself, and get past your problems in one piece. Then once you're past them choose your options well and stay focused. I recall getting three jobs at once back when I had issues. I suggest working like you're crazy if you're crazy. You won't have time to spend money or think and when you get your head together you'll have room to maneuver. Forget all the pity and charge! Don't listen to the shrinks, they're crazier than you are. Work! Unless you're lazy, then you're hopeless.

Don't worry about me.

When you start getting on in years most of life is behind one. Its normal that thoughts turn to the past, and unfinished business.

Why all the drama, Lancer?

Just go post in the other forum if you don't like it here.
