Hey guys, I've been inactive recently due to: Jazz band performances on weekends, snowed in at my house and away from the computer, and my aunt being ill and staying with us. I will try to get on more but I don't know if I can as much as once a week, it may come to once every two and there may be times when I get on a full weekend. I won't know until it happens so sorry if I disappear for a time.

And now I'm being beckoned off for a time and so I can't discuss anything further, but I hope you all have a decent winter. Take care~

Basically the topic alludes to the mythical bird who is reborn in the ashes as the result of his own combustion...

Anyways.

I've found I have had more time on the computer as of late so I'm going to try to get back on. No guarantees, because I'm swamped in school, being my junior year, and I have a life (mostly band..) and a very amazing girlfriend who I love to spend time with. I'm usually on only on the weekends too, but it should be better than nothing.

For those who remember me, I'm sorry for being gone so long. I would say it's not my fault, but that doesn't mean I didn't wish to come back sometimes.

For those who have forgotten me...well then maybe we'll have to catch up .

I'm currently kinda pissed that I'm STILL Level 20 (I didn't expect to be higher...but that means I've still got level 21 to suffer through). My designing days are infrequent, so don't ask me for anything because I don't have the skill or time.

Also, I've changed in video game preferences as of late. I'm still a Nintendo Fanatic, but I currently own (as my other consoles have conspired and all committed suicide ) only an Xbox 360 which I love. Microsoft has become my favorite company for NEW games, while my past favorites are still in my heart as Nintendo classics.

I may, in fact, be quitting a lot of guilds/unions. I'm also sorry about that, but I can't be in them all and some I'm no longer interested in. I have found I've got a LOTTTTTTT of work to do to update myself in all kinds of ways, but if you do want to contact me I'd be more than happy for the conversation. Hope to see some of my ol' friends around .

Sincerely,

~ The General
