A Farewell to Arm. (in General)

I'll paraphrase this before starting.
Moving and might not play anymore.

    Won't go into all the details as the whole situation becomes more of a mistake the more I think about it. Was told of this move last week the day after started planning building a house. The family has to be split because inherits of half a million dollars are openly stressed out. One of which hasn't worked in 3 years since receiving. Moving back to a place they said had no jobs or housing for us. They are coming from a costly rent house on a hill to a small 1 bed apartment to wait for the contacts for co-sign of a yet designed 3 story beach house a mile up river from the Gulf of Mexico on land where we are still finding bricks from the house blown across the bank by Carla. So childish in nature I should be angry, but was planning a move to the area this summer anyways.

    Had discussed this building plan years ago with them. Many items were better left at the brainstorm. Lots of clumsy talk, lots of striking coincidences, and me looking like prophet on a mountain top without saying a word. This is also a mess which I tried to turn positive for all involved and they rather I hand them a shovel. They are putting what we advocated years ago into one big hope push again along with negative attitudes and I haven't even said,"told ya so" yet. We moved here for colleges and a great job offer and look where we have to go back to for better jobs. Have no one motto, but I have been going through half my short life saying,"I hate it when I'm right." because I told you so is so cliche.

    Basically we're moving apart when we should be together and my future in CB is uncertain.

    Had planned to move back home for the past year. Was going to move back down to Lake Jackson as planned until yesterday when 2 options were given. I'll give back story on this as it is worth telling. This call was to my best friend for 8 years family(his father is prison preacher so just him) whom we buried Jan. 3rd this year after a car bomb. When I finally got a ring on the other end, was told they were moving to build a house out in the plains on a hill. Didn't know what to expect, but wow right? They are gone the end of this month. Still that doesn't close the door on going back. BTW the parents are moving to Lake Jackson. There is still opposition from them for me going there, which is practically owned by Dow chemical which is better than cheap tips, but I'm trying not to complain much as I type this. Just know there are a few contradicting opinions on apartments and jobs from what they tell and what I hear over the phone.

    The same people who expected me to get a scholarship my senior year(moved here 2nd semester junior year)still expect me to move into there 1 bedroom apartment with them it seems. They didn't tell me they spent our grandfather's college fund on the expensive 2 story house back in Lake Jackson until august. A house I campaigned against heavily even if it was closer to my friends. Did they really expect me to work hard with free money waiting for me? Hope is a tricky thing. Hold on, there's another instance of progress to come. If I still can make it down there CB will hopefully still have me.

     Here's the new option I got yesterday. My parants(feel nerdier showing the dependence) are finally letting me work on our grandfather's farm. Yes, letting, 4 years ago they told me of his problems and wouldn't let me work for a dying old man I have yet to say more than hi to on turkey day. It's my mother's father so for a longtime perceived this as her not being able to let go or some fear of injury. Given I had just graduated and was riding the bus into town for part-times you'd think that a good idea. Still find these turn arounds disgusting. Even damning to a point when there was an open ranch house then and our fresh out of jail uncle(repeated drunk driver and screw up of the fam)there now. Can't expect much thought from the people who birthed me can you? These are the same type of people you complain about in general. The type who happily continue to do what is not in their best interest despite the warnings and negative consequences. Like junkies! Speaking of which, the myspace stalker brother chooses to stay here and live out the rest of his life as a waiter like I almost did. Sigh ...yuppie trailer trash we be...anyways since I am such a caring guy I've already said yes to the farm. Plus it was kinda my idea.

    They haven't bothered to tell me the internet conditions(if any)for well outside San Angelo, but they got satillite! Likely get a free dial up provider if anything. Since it seems not even their move is concrete, won't be a sell out unless a few hundred USDs are thrown my way before July 15. Ironically my little brother's b-day and he's still mad about losing 2 sources for free money. Of course I had to tell CB as this has been better to me than friends and family. Great place for me to mentally abuse the dim yet find equals. Although so many here didn't haven't put up with me off in carnage. I know many will miss me, Bast especially. Got to know me a little better with this thread even if I was very bitter.

    Since there is no certainty for my CB future. Jon, Close down NP. If I must go down I want to go down with the ship. Couple years ago I wanted do a user supported room "blender" when there was a mess of persons trying to make new alt. rooms and would've fronted this if I had thought it to be good for the community to have a place to curse like a sailor. If you've heard tell of what I did in the "debate" room imagine me like that every 3 hours. We don't need NP anymore, but we do need room choice. Ponder over what could be allowed in blender if added. If not by Jon let's have a party anyways.

     This is a not-so farewell request for a room much like me, vulgar and intolerable. ;)


For whatever may happen, this was the best mmo I've ever played.

Gun i hope you can stay with cb, you in NP was one of the main reasons i kept coming back to CB when i first started, i hope everything works out for you.

yeah man. You better come back. We will all miss you. Good luck in RL!

I salute you comradeski! *salutes*

Too drunk to read any more than the first sentence but don't leave us man ! I'll ake more time to read it tomorrow :)

We will miss you Gun, and I will miss the little bidding wars we have had in the past. Hope all goes well for you... and I will be thinking of you!

/me salutes Comrade Gun!

:-|

Almost always works out for me. Can't say the same for others.
Anybody want me to move in with them? ;) muahahaha

People quitting always sucks.

Good luck in all future endeavors man! Hope everything works out for you :)

although your very irritating in your multi hunting ;) wouldnt want you to leave ;)

Gun!

Good Luck Gun, Hope to see you in the near future!

i graduated college from angelo state university. small world! good luck to you and it will all work out in the end.

<3 gun, CB will be missing a lot without you.

You know... I had to really think about what I wanted to post. Me and Gun are... hmm.. not on good terms. So I had to think about this.


To sum up alot of rationalization.


I hope you don't quit Gun. You're a part of this community. And I'd hate to see you leave. So, if you get a chance... stay.

I didn't understand most of it, with my small young mind. But don't go...

You were my mentor... and quite a.... character : ). I do hope you stay some ow, either way, you're a supporter so your account won't get deleted :P

I'm not in chat, so obviously I only know you from the posts you make, but you're definitely a character, who has made me laugh out loud on many occasions. CB needs characters - it would be a shame to see you go.

CB is a good escape from life's stresses; everyone needs that

Gun,

You were the first dude to say hello to me on CB2; you gave me advice (which I stupidly only took for about 2 days before buying more minions <grin>) and loaned me a RoE for a week.

Thanks, and I wish you the best in life post-CB.

Cheers,
muon.

Gun, you son of a ...(fill in the blanks according to your wishes)
You can't leave cb, it will draw you back, like a magnet draws metal, it'll force you back, you'll see.
So far for a lighter note.

I hope you land on your feet, like most cats do.
Do your worst, like you did to us here on cb and I'm pretty confident we'll be seeing you back in no time.
Take care you old pal, and see you soon hopefully.

Shame that you're going to be taking a break.


See you when you get back.


~_^

/me salutes comrade Gun

I probably would have quit after a few weeks, if not for you Bast and slayer... If at all possible, don't leave us. If you must, at least stop in from time to time :)

No, I can't believe it...

The day you leave will be a grim one...

That will be lame if Gun leaves, what will I wave around menacingly in the air at newbies? :)

Aww Gun, please don't leave, every time one of our bigger then life players leaves CB dies a little bit. :(

Update:
Got back from helping my parents move out of their apartment.
Arguments from all the whole time. Mainly from mom over her sweetheart's evident lies over plans. Even when I got lil bro lite hearted she tells me to stop being funny. FTI on the apartment, was originally my moms escape, cuz couldn't afford to live on her own let alone divorce. Although living together under that roof helped, I expect a relapse after we're gone. We almost lost a table to the mud(rained 1 hr before) because no one listens! Thank Jon most of NP takes advice.

Update:

Ok, it's final. Finally got around to a hate filled meeting. What is up with the 15th this year? I got laid off from the print shop(cards&papers not shirts) Dec. 15th after the old lady fell ill. We're out this house July 15th(bro's b-day) and I'm trying to remember anything else bad on a 15th. Maybe you guys have similar numbered days this year? Guess this is just the little man's year. I have to stay here and take care of lil bro since he can't sign the lease. Good news is I don't have to pay for it. San Angelo is flat denied yet again. Why this option was brought up is beyond me and them it seems. Lot of argument over this with an absurd amount of discontent for why visit and distancing from her family. Won't even let me go up there for 5 days and no one is working next week. So you will still have me just not as much. Though that was to be expected since the 20 min change opened me up to my LJ move option anyways. Still this sucks bad. Like having Monty as your accountant bad.

We're both getting told the only options we have are here or the military when I listed the other two as you have seen. They don't want me to help pick out house designs neither. 3 Wood shops, 2 metals, welding, 2 AutoCAD classes, drafting, multimedia, volunteer builder for 3 houses(too young for serious pay), got small class awards for some building designs, several high marks art ribbons from the county, along with the fact that this house will be the kids' some day, yet I have no say. Fail to understand the logic of these exclusions. We all avoid each other, but this is wrong and extremely un-thoughtful. Haven't done anywhere near as much as anyone expected while here. Of course, that's kinda why I'm here eh. Still expect some rememberance of what can be offered. This is your house, this may be the easy way, but this sure isn't the right way. Most the money will be coming from our rich bigot uncle so he gets most the say. He's also the oldest brother. Gets his say anyways.

Here's the house he *cough* they were looking at: http://www.architecturaldesigns.com/beach-house-plan-13040fl.asp
...I know that can't be your final answer. If so, bring on the winds and floods. The decks will act as wings and rafts to the insurance claims office.

Expected this simple conclusion as much. Prepared myself for this in advanced. I also had hopes on the side. That maybe this was the big change and that finally we could all find a new life away from each other and the problems we gave. No, it's just another debt to unfold. In fact they said they won't have a income for the next 6 months after getting there. We two will be working fast food until we can afford college. Couldn't keep my 3.0 for one semester(fyi this was last year) so likely I won't try again until 30'ish. Kept the books for that reason. This seems to be good for my father tho. He's eating salads and gets to go back to the place he also still calls home so he would be a happy clam if someone wasn't having nicotine fits. Mother is showing signs of a coming breakdown and this is from my professional view(kept the psych book too;) which means more reason to fear the future. She broke the vacuum against the wall, tore out a corner of the carpet, and she hadn't vacuumed in over 3 years. The boy goes around marking everything as it were, and he'll get most the things he wants, when he should be content with having his own car. I'm too disappointed to do much yet so lil bro gets to pick where we live and we're getting cell phones instead of a home phone. You guys can help with that. ;)

I'm here to stew uh Stay! For 6 months anyways. Also the offer to take me in still stands. :) moochy moochy

Jesus, life sucks for you. :(

whatever happens - best of luck m8

Not the reaction I was expecting.... getting a free roof over my head, complaining about the providers, and someone I don't know tells me my life sucks.
Cool, I feel better now. Love how the small things can be the most important. :)
