Default Hello

Where have I been?

A month ago, my company launched a new brand. The economy is is the worst it has been in my lifetime, in terms of consumer spending. These factors combined to require me to work rather than goof off.

Based on my job responsibilities, I've been unable to log in and play during raid times, so I basically stopped playing. When I accepted that reality, I also asked Niber to block my mailbox on this site so that people would stop sending me PMs.

About a week after I last logged in, my character name was mysteriously changed from Bish Please to Huggmee Please (or some similar bullshit). That seriously pissed me off, and I considered it another cowardly slap in the face by SOE. When I heard about this, I thought why should I keep playing or being involved in this game in any way, fuck SOE. My anger didn't relate to the fact that my name was changed, it related to the fact I hadn't even logged on in a week, then was given the specific name chosen. Fuck you, whoever that was, I don't need a goddamn hug from you or anyone else.

Also, I felt the need to break my addiction to this game and this site, and that the combination of these two things were negatively impacting all other areas of my life. So I decided to take a month off at least, and to find a new hobby that would use my time in a positive way rather than just waste my time.

So about a month ago, I started speculating in the stock market. I started with $20,000, and have increased that to over $25,000 screwing around and watching a stock ticker on my Blackberry while I'm working.

I feel like I have a knack for this and really enjoy it. I have a good understanding of many different industries and products, and look for opportunities where a company I'm familiar with spikes downward based on a number of different factors, then buy, wait for an upturn, and sell. Most of my trades only earn a few hundred dollars profit, but if I can continue making several thousand a month doing this just based on day trading on my Blackberry between sales calls at work, that's nice additional income.

So that's it. I'll probably check in from time to time, but doubt I'll ever play any MMOG again.
