I don't normally like to speak of my problems. We all have them so it's not like I'm any different or better or worse than anyone else. Plus I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me or using what I say to make fun of me. Actually, cancel the making fun part...I don't really care about that.
The biggest thing in my life is the fact that my son and his girlfriend split up. They have a 3 year old boy. He's having a rough time and it absolutely breaks my heart. My son seems indifferent and is not involved much with him since the split. Heart breaking even more. I've never felt such pain ever. I haven't even told those close to me of this. It just plain hurts.
My wife and I have been together for 27 years. Pick a problem, we've been there, done that. Our kids are 25 and 22. We were young parents. We both thought and still do think that our relationship is so important that we both find a way to carry on. It always is more give than take. For those of you that have heard her in the background in the Acehole...well you know I've got a good gal.
So I come here to unwind a bit. Been only in the DF community for 2 years, but I have made some really good friends. And the original game, throwing aside all it's issues, glitches, and lag, was awesome. The new version has frustrated me to no end. Nothing is the same. Add to that, the inevitable future server separation for us pc guys from tablet players, and to me, it's really maddening. So I've acted out a bit lately. And I got punished for it. Fortunately, I was able to email the Man and he reinstated me.
I do regret what I said. Perhaps I should have emailed my concerns to begin with. I am just as passionate about the direction of the game as the guy who made it. I really do want to see the game succeed.
Anyways, I'm not making excuses for my behaviour, but I am just a human like the rest of you. I will do better to represent this squad and do better with regards to treating people better regardless of who they are.
Anyways, enough babbling from me. Sorry to all that could've had a sore tooth removed in the time it took to read this.
