My Blog
So I just got back from a walk with my wife. She just decided that she will not be attending her law school graduation this December because she is not proud of graduating in 3.5 years. Remember, she took a semester off because I strongly encouraged her to in order to go into residential treatment for her eating disorder.
She feels like she would have been proud if she were graduating on time, but the delay is unacceptable. Selfishly, I am rather bummed because it is a graduation of sorts for me as well. I have been supporting her for the past 2 years and have been looking forward to this event for quite awhile. I know graduations are among the most boring events in the world, but they are still symbolically important, at least to me.
She has dug her feet in on the issue and I dunno if she will budge. I have asked her to reconsider, but I do not think that will get me very far.
Has anyone else experienced a similar sentiment?
It is almost that time of year again. I love fantasy sports and most of all football, although based on the response to my thread, I may be alone.
Every year for the past 5 years, some of my college roommates have had a league with a few other guys we know. We put a little money on it and then obsess over it for the next 5 months. This weekend is our draft so I will drive up to Chicago. My wife is also friends with all of these guys, but she is debating passing simply because she knows it will be all football all of the time.
We have found it is a great way to keep in touch because us guys are very bad about going months and months without ever talking and then immediately reconnecting in September. Everyone should try it!
Right now I am in a baseball league with my 14 y/o brother. Sadly, we spend enough time talking about baseball and football that I think he may actually be better than I am >:(. I am sure as soon as he gets a job, he will try to get into my money league as well.
Funny moment for me on 198.11 assault. I just banned a kid for aimbotting after the server yelled at me for about 5 minutes about it. After I send in the demo, I join T and quickly find myself the only one left and outside the warehouse. So, I go on overpass and shoot the hostie room to see if there are hosties in there. Sure enough, I hs the poor kid and now everyone is screaming hacker again...
Come play with me at Assault 24/7 65.39.198.11:27015! Fast pings for you midwesterners (although the server resides in Canada...) and good practice for everyone else. This is not the most talented group of folks on the spawnpoint network, but there is no waiting and you can actually rush the vent without 8 guys shooting out your feet (usually). Best of all, you can avoid the problem folks on the problem servers like 108 and 175 :)
Come check it out! Tell 'em Dwinx sent you! Also....If you are new and looking for a place to apply for admin, I think this would be a great one to try out. We are not overrun with admins, but occasionally the kids get out of hand (less so now that the Lawlrus guys seem to have moved on).
