Well, while I can't say that I've talked to you a lot - I seem to have interacted with you more over the course of the past couple of weeks more. It's been nice, you're a cool guy and I'm glad you can prioritize :) Good luck and keep in touch!!

IM me some time if you wanna talk about cars or whatever.... (SN: Str8jackett)

***DATELINE....TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YEARS EVE***

...and at the exact stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, he lept from the tower that holds the famous Ball. He lept onto the ball, snapping the cable that suspends it. He and the ball crashed to the ground, 150 feet below. The Ball shattered into a million shards of razor-sharp glass and embedded themselves in his flesh. He was unrecognizable, even to those who knew him.

A tourist walked by and said "who was that man?" The crowd replied "just some crazy AT'er that has Neffed his Final Nef."

Aw, man, that's too bad. Dannylove, Pyonir, and now Rallispec. :(

Just in case anybody cares, at the rate I'm going, I'll still be around for about 4 more years. :D

Danny -

Good decision. I'm glad to see you have the foresight to know when you should take a rest. I've been considering something similar for a while - I'm working on struggling to strike a balance - maybe a half-hour on, each morning.

Regardless. Good luck with the start of your senior year - study hard, enjoy time with your gf, and enjoy it, dammit. I'll chat with you on AIM.

Nate

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Insightful words Ralli. Pretty close to what i would have wrote, with minor details being different for me. Most of my time spent on AT is at work. And many ask "do you even do any work?" well i do. but it was always around ATOT. These last couple weeks, i have noticed that i have less work, because i do more of it. I've started posting more on other forums, and this could be construed as bad, but it really takes up less time than AT.

I have another 5 months or so on my subscription, but like Ralli, i've had an epiphany. As some remember from the thread i started a little bit back, i have a new manager now. She has been giving me more work, and along with it, new opportunities. For instance, I'll be writing HTML emails for others at my place of business, and that is something i have never done before. New opportunities. My review at work is coming up around November 1st, and I want to make a good show of these last couple months, so i get a decent raise (and review).

I've also realized that I'm 24, and have only two classes i have to take to get my bachelors. Yet I got lazy this summer and missed deadlines to finish these two classes this fall. Now i have to wait until spring semester and won't be done with college until may, when i'll be 25. The worst part about this is, i had over 100 credits when i was 22 and decided to move to Arizona instead of finishing school. One of the best things I've ever done was move to Arizona, but one of the worst decisions i have made was not finishing school first.

Time to get motivated and do something with my life. Time to start exercising more. Time to eat better. Time to be on the computer less. Time to excel at work, rather than at ATOT. I'm 24, and you know what i have accomplished in my life? Debt. That is it. Debt, because i failed to realize how evil credit cards were in college, and i'm still paying for it. dearly.

Well, time to wrap this up. I'll be around on other forums i am sure, and i'm sure i'll be back here. I'm on AIM sometimes, pyonir24. Take care and i apologize to anyone that i may have pissed off, or insulted, or hurt. (except luvya....get some help man. you NEED it.)
