Taking a Break...
« on: June 20, 2006, 10:44:10 pm »
My wife frequently says this:

pay close attention to the second one.

(From the D2 Forum)

"You don't get any smarter.
You don't make any money.
It is a worthless activity."

The thing with SFC is that it is quite addicting, which leads to other addicting activities related to it, etc........

As of now - I am taking a break. The UAW Dyna server will sit unaltered for a while, I simply don't have time for games at this point. You all have been very supportive, But I have to recharge.

I'll be reading..
..Because the game does not have to, and will not, remain the same..

Enjoy yourself Chris.
The Star Spangled Banner bring hither,
 O're Columbia's true sons let it wave.
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
 Nor it's stars cease to shine on the brave.

Chris,

I had to explain this to my wife a couple years ago:

1. Does building models make me any money?

2. Does doing home improvement work make us any money?

3. Does my paintings and pencils make us any money?

No, my job makes me money. The rest is what I do on my own time, my hobbies, my way of passing off the time on this mortal coil without feeling like I'm just standing by the line of people waiting to get on the ride at the amusement park.

While she didn't totally understand, she understood enough. When you start to get pressured to take something you love to do and turn it into a money making thing, it usually looses it's glamour - because now it's work, not play.

Take your time, Bro, and we'll be here when you get back.
