For those of you who do not want to read a lengthy post here is the condensed version:

-Due to changes in my life, I have become a VERY casual non-multiplayer Xbox 360 gamer

The lengthy bit:

First issue:
-Okay, my uncles, aunts, and cousins (including my little family unit) was thrown into a brawl match (with 3 Landmasters apparently) when two of my cousins and my mother got annoyed with their cousin because she posted something on Facebook that was not any of her business and COMPLETELY untrue. I will call her... idk, Jagger... yeah, jagger, any way, Jagger posted that her uncle, my great uncle and closest thing to a grandparent I have, was dying from pancreatic cancer, he had a polyp, that it, but when my mom and my cousin... Bertha... tried to correct it they got ridiculed by Jagger's pot smoking, only thing left for brain cells in their heads are Hops and barley residue, friends... Well... I stepped in... and boy oh boy was that a blessing in disguise, but it has caused a lot of stress and bickering among the family. This is one of the reasons why I have been sorta absent from the gaming world

Second:
-I helped a neighbor move a couple months ago and got a free fixer-upper guitar. I got it fixed up and I have been taking classes every saturday to learn how to play, its challenging, but it fills part of my day up and its something I have always wanted to learn how to do

Third:
-War thunder tanked... I tried, lost interest in trying to get it supported (I tried recruiting for about 20 hours a week during gameplay). Not blaming anyone, at all, I just couldnt handle the responsiblity

Fourth:
-My mom suffers from Fibromayalgia. You can ask MtDewman about winter here, its dismal and I have been picking up a lot of chores to help out my mom and make her day feel less stressful. she isnt aching as much as she was and I feel good helping more than usual

Final:
Yoga, Fencing (right? whats so hard about swish swish stab? btw, A LOT!!!), Tai Chi, and meditation.

Im sorry, I forgot this bit:

I do not wish to "fully retire" from BBF, Baptized By Fire is my gaming home and a LOT of members, including Chaser, MTDewman, Ariakas, and Hisgun (to name a few) have been MORE than kind to me as well as patient. I would like to be, if possible, "quasi-retired" so that I can check back periodically and//or not lose many of my privileges on the forums.

If anyone would like, I am leaving my contact info to the private forums so that they can have contact with me besides the forums. I am leaving my gaming email there too, its full of all kinds of contacts from games, game fliers/ads, and... well... "other" subscriptions, anyway, in the words of the immortal Fable character, Reaver: Taddy-bye
