I've been lurking the last few months for many reasons. Life's thrown me a lot of Lemon's this year and I've had to adjust. Job stuff, women stuff, you name it. As most of you know, not that it matters, I've been in and out since I joined Downfall. I've done my best to wait until there is someone to take my place in raid, just as my joining LF1M was to take someone's place who couldn't keep committed to raids.

There's a lot that's happened, so I'll just make a list.

- I got fired in June. I was damn happy for it too. The place sucked, they lied about company benefits, and they're still trading their employees souls for worthless "pre-IPO" shares. I'm fairly certain the company will either be sold or go bankrupt and most the folks there will just feel like a 2 bit whore when all is said and done. I wasn't burnt, but felt helpless watching a lot of folks bend over backwards for nothing. Incidentally, a house fire burnt down a house across the alley just a few weeks before I got fired.

fired!

- I sold my motorcycle because they're really not practical in Dallas anymore. Way too much traffic and you end up smelling like exhaust. I also wouldn't mind a GSX-R 750 so I'll probably get another in a few years.

me on the track

- To make up for motorcycle and cause I was jobless I got some contract work to do on the side. This ended up biting me in the ass and killing my WoW availability because...

- Sometime in late July or early August Aidin and Grasen moved into a new apartment. I totally slept in but got there just in time to help move the HEAVY ASS washing machine. Damn that was heavy.

- About a week later I also got a new job, worked there for a month...
