Hey guys. You've probably (not) noticed that I haven't really been around at all for the past...well, six weeks. The vast majority of that is pretty simple. I got a new job in October and when December rolled around and I was getting more hours and burnout started to seep in, I sort of lost a lot of spark for Marc-Antoine as a character. I was hoping to pick it up because I felt like I could still give a bit back to the fed and I didn't want it to seem like I just 'got bored' of being champion and left. I was gearing up to come back and had the shittest week of my life. My dad's boss, a family friend who helped us out of hard times when my dad's back surgery left him unable to work, has terminal lung cancer and weeks to live. Another friend of the family who works with my mother suffered a brain aneurysm and is vegetative. My uncle, who I routinely visit and whose infant daughter thinks I'm the coolest guy ever, got testicular cancer and is currently taking chemotherapy after surgery. A glitch in the payroll system meant I wasn't paid for January and my boss lost the hours I worked and doesn't know how much I'm owed, She also refuses to believe that the hours she's telling me I did - sometimes with entire days I worked missing - are incorrect. Regardless of what they actually are, I still haven't been paid to this date. Oh, and to top it off my girlfriend attempted suicide and called me the next morning to say she hated me for calling an ambulance. It was a bad week. Things are still a bit up in the air right now, but I'd like to come back as soon as possible. Just figured I'd give you guys a quick update on how things are.

that's some heavy stuff, man. like we all say though... this is just a game. It always comes second to real life stuff. Take care of the family issues and shit first. They'll be there when this game is long gone. When you are able to return, your spot will still be here. Don't trip about that. |

Dude.... oh wow. I don't even know what to say other than best of luck to you, and take as much time as you need. |

Damn man, I really do hope that life eases up on you a bit. That's a lot of shit to be dealing with. Just try to stay strong for yourself and those around you. Like Weston said, this is just a game, and it always comes second to real life. |

Oh, wow. I really hope everything gets better for you soon. Those are a lot of issues to be dealing with at once. Sort out everything with your family first, and come back whenever you're ready. |

Good luck with everything. Seriously. I don't know what to say, exactly, but... Well, I'll tell you what I told Rae when she was dealing with the loss of her dad. Everything will be okay. I promise.
