I've been a member of this site for a while now. Not as long as its been open, but long enough to have gotten to know a lot of people and make some friends.

Sadly that means making enemies too sometime. Thankfully nowhere near as many of those as friends. But it still sucks. The ones that make you think..."what did I do to make them shit in my cereal."

Since I've been on 2old2play I've started up 2 clans. The Strategic Insomniacs....and the Maniacal Marauders. I left the SI group for various reasons I won't get into....but they have been better off for it and have been a successful group. they are still active, still fun to game with. So I'm happy for them. They are good guys & gals.

I ran the Marauders for a little over a year now I think....until recently some disagreements arose and my leadership abilities came under fire by several. I won't say names....because it doesn't matter. But it was enough to make me not want to stick around. So i turned it over to someone else and stepped out. Several others had stepped out before me so I figured it was for the best.

I wish them success and happy gaming.

Now onto the negative aspects of this choice. Even though I'm a member of several other clans....I haven't been a member of those groups long enough to be able to say "my clan". You know? Nothing against them. They are great groups I hope to get a lot more good matches in with. But I can't help feeling a bit homeless. Even on Live it feels that way. You spend money on games and don't get much time with them because they are mostly MP or co-op oriented games.

I'm not posting this so that people will feel sorry for me, or say "oh that sucks homey."  I'm just trying to get something off my chest thats been bothering me for the past week. Thats all.

And now for something completely different.....a man...with three noses!

not really.

But in other news. Julia's mother went into the hospital Wednesday morning for back surgery. She had to get a few vertebrae fused, some nerves untwisted and a spinal fluid leak taken care of. So after she recovers she should feel a helluva lot better. Which will be awesome since she's been in hellish pain since I've known her. It'll be good to see her get some relief.

Downside to this is during her recovery she needs someone there to help her out. Julia. Which means I'm gonna be all by my lonesome at the apartment for however long she needs help. Which will be a couple of weeks I'm sure.

As for me...not much has been going on with me. Been trying to live better and get more enjoyment out of simple things. trying not to stress myself out about dumb shit....or dumb people. Its not easy....but I'll be better for it I think.

Well....thats all I got for now.

Have a good weekend pimps and pimpettes.

Gats, whats up man. We need to get some games in together. What are you playing lately, and what times? Maybe thats why we haven't seen each other lately, different times? Yea, I remember the good ol Stretegic Insomniac days, the beginning of the clan, when it was all fun and no seriousness. We need another good group like that again.

there are going to be people you just dont see eye to eye with. no matter how nice i am to some people i still get the cold shoulder, you just have to move on and ignore the bad and move on with the good, which sounds like you have done. the best thing about 2old2play for me is building real friendships over the yrs that i still have today. ive had some fallouts with some members over trival stuff and it sucks because you consider your closest friends like family. a lot of people feel this way about their clans, a lot of clans a very tight night. gats from what i know of you and the things you do content wise for the site i think your a helluva guy. your arcade building skills are top notch and your a super friendly guy.

thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. yeah it sucks ass...but there's no point in letting it fester. The biggest downside is how it affects my gaming. After gaming with a group for almost every night for a long time...you get used to that. Then you leave and its all turned around.

My only advice is to join a clan where people don't take shit too seriously. Leading and organizing things is a tough job with a lot of pressure from others, especially those that are uber competitive. I decided long ago after running a few successful MMORPG clans that it wasn't worth hearing all of the whining and bitching. I took a back seat, enjoyed the ride, appreciated anyone willing to take on the leadership role, and when the leadership became a bunch of a holes I bolted. I can happily say that I have been with 2old2play and a couple of the clans with no problems for 5 years.

It takes a leader to know when to step back and let someone else take charge.... MJ

So many good people on this site it would be hard NOT to find a good group to hook up with. You'll find some new homies soon enough! Good luck!
