No...the classic song from U2 isn't for dramatic effect but a therapeutic instrument to finalize this decision...
I have been playing Champions of the Galaxy for nearly twenty years and even when I have had absences many of my longtime COTG friends have supported my spirits and I have made several life long memories through the game...Dave Szymanack, Jamie Wilson, Todd Joerchel, Shawn Turner, Mark Ashby, Jim karantonis, Brian Barrows were the first people I have contacted through this game and although two promoters have passed on through the squared circle in the sky and one doesn't play anymore-they will be remembered as my friends forever.
As many close people know, I have lived through a lot of bad stuff throughout the years and am proud to honestly say I am a cancer survivor, a father, and a husband to a very loving wife of 15 years...many know that are close to me that a lot of events happened with my life over the last year my mom passed away on April 29th, 2007...about five weeks ago I broke my foot after a keg fell across my metatarsis bone (I believe that is what it is called...I used to know what it was called but it doesn't matter anymore)..then a tornado came through the millard, NE and tore part of the roof off my house, shattered windows, and put most of my inside of the house on the lawn (or sopping wet...including my entire COTG collection)...I was scared to death for my family (not for my own well being but for my children and wife) as I was awoke at 2 AM by the gusts pushing our trash cans though the window..I continued to try and keep hope alive with everything but... I was called last night @ 930 with news of my father be admitted into the hospital after he had a massive coronary that the doctor feels he will not make it through the weekend and is on life support at the moment until my brothers and I get home...
I can't do this anymore....too much bad stuff has gone on lately and I am going to step away from everything for a undetermined amount of time...I would like to thank my friends in the COTG community that have talked to me honestly and everyone else...thank you and goodbye.
