Some 6800 posts down the road, I've decided that over the past 2 years, my time online has been a spiraling mess. I really admire people who have like 20,000 posts and still manage to have decent control over their time and do lots of things. I, however feel like things have turned into a mess. I wake up in the morning, next thing I know it's late night, and I've not talked much to my friends, not done a hell of a lot, and almost never have anything at all to show for it.

One of my biggest hobbies in the world is reading. I sit around, read manuals, stories, heck since recently news and forum posts have become a HUGE amount of my time, and there's quite a bit to learn in all of it..

However it has consumed way too much of my time. It's come down to the point where I start something, see an error, give up, chat on undermac, start reading the forums for something to talk about, and suddenly half the damn day is gone.

Admittedly I don't even know how I'll take to this one. Chances are good you'll see my name from time to time and I might not even stop at all.. this would be a real shame, but I think it's time to put the cap on things. Yeah it's another one of these lame ass posts but hey, after about 3 years of hanging out here I think it's worth it

If this means you won't be coming back, then could I have your posts counts?

Pffffft I do more in a a day than you probably do in a week.

I have supernatural multitasking abilities.

As a matter of fact, I am going to get a shirt with a BIG Z on the front.

FYI, FBI and DDR are not TLA. An acronym is like Nasa or fubar or any other time that the initials join together to form a new word. FBI, CIA and the like are just abbreviations.
