User blog:Jdude420/Semi-Retirement

Yeah, its that time. School is starting back up again (have 18 credits this semester, and probably 18 next) - working a job part-time when I don't have school. So, this really doesn't leave a lot of free time - what I get I typically am working on my car or reading up on vehicle-related information, I have my electronics hobby to stay relatively up-to-date on, and such like.

What this accumulates to is a serious lack of time for here, and to be frank, in all honesty this place isn't what it used to be (I know, I know that's throw around a lot by some people) and due to that it's not a place I place high on my priorities list anymore. As such I will not be very active - I'll try to check in on the Admin site and here to offer my measly average IQ input or vote, lol, and maybe hop on chat (which, IMO, is so far removed from actually 'fun' most of the time it's not even funny), and check my message wall.

This is not a retirement, that will probably be coming in about a year when I go to a University for a Computer and/or Electrical Engineering Degree - that'll be a time-sucker. I just wanted to say what's been happening in stretches to my activity for quite a while now - don't post a message (especially urgent stuff) on my message wall and expect instant response (that's what Alemas and Mad are for, lol). Granted its pretty rare someone contacts me for something urgent anyways, but I thought it'd be good to throw that out there.

It's been fun, it really has, I've laughed, learned, and procrastinated a lot with this place. Met some good people, had some good times with said people, ect. I've been or are (I think) friends [mostly "on good terms, get along, play nice together, ect."] with such a great many of you I couldn't even begin to start naming you all of. At one point a year and a half ago I attempted to compile a list of current and former good acquaintances on here and it was like 40 people, lol. I don't know if those people ever thought I was their good acquaintance, friend, or whatever - but I enjoyed time spent with them and often gained a good laugh, learned something valuable, or sentimental from them.

That said I still would like to give a special shout-out to a few users who really started me off here back in 2012 and I had some especially great times with: BCG, Gogs, Jed, Lint (he's had so many usernames I forget what his current one is, lol), Rio, and Sea. Although Lcf went Postal on the wiki, he was a fun guy and I had some good chats with him back in the olden days, and regardless of what he has done I felt I needed to at least acknowledge that. I could keep making the list bigger, but then it just wouldn't stop, lol.

Although it may sound a bit creepy, I think it would be cool to meet some of you guys one day - maybe. We'll see. But, if any of you desire to contact me you can email me at kryptonianfarmer@gmail.com - I don't check it terribly often so don't expect immediate response or anything.

I think that's all, anyways, God Bless and I wish you all success in your endeavors. This isn't a finial good bye, but it's just about there.

Love ya'll,
