Announcing My Hiatus

[Shiver]

Hey guys, I am posting to inform you all that due to more important things I need to focus on in my life I am taking a hiatus. I may stop by every once in a while, but I probably won't post very much. I've had a fun time and maybe when things clear up on my end I'll return. So don't expect anything in the form of posts or my weekly column. I will still make my pick 'em picks, but other than that don't expect to see me around here too much.

[TimD]

You will be missed. Hopefully stopping by will be more than 'once in a while.' peace man good luck with whatever you're going through on your end.

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

hopefully things get better....but i think it's safe to say all roads lead to nfldc.

[Turtlepower]

And there goes 25% of all Falcons fans... =D

Hope everything goes well.

It's a habit you just can't kick. I was clean for a few months, but I couldn't resist it anymore.

[Shiver]

Just to preface this: what I am going through isn't "bad" per say. It's just I need to refocus my life. I have recently turned eighteen and things like football and video games just are taking too much of my time away.

This is the problem with our generation. We are lazy and waste time. It's about balance, something I think a lot of us are struggling with.

I could be watching MTV...atleast NFLDC is a good learning environment...granted it's not going to get you anything in life...however it teaches you some things and actually can actually improve you educated discussions in the real world.

I think everyone on here has thought that they're wasting their time on here, I certainly have. But I just view it as something better to do than maybe TV or video games when you're at home with nothing to do because you're in some small way interacting with other people.

good luck on your hiatus. may you gain everything you seek and remember to always carry rubbers.

DUDE. Tell me about it. I've become the ******* poster boy for that.

And Shiver: handle your business player. We'll miss you.

Hey, I know I'm no innocent poster. I waste waaaay too much time on the internet. At least I don't play video games much anymore. Still, I find I need to have a job to have my life in order. School is just too optional.

Shiver will be missed. We'll keep his column's spot warm for him.

[yodapoop]

Bye, bye Shiver, I will miss ur cute butt. I'll keep ur moderator spot warm for u.

[P-L]

Good luck.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

See ya Shiver, I'll miss you. Hope you get everything straightened out and return before too long.

[sweetness34]

Since when are you only 18 years old? Anywho, good luck man. We'll miss ya!

[S4L]

Shiver, you will be sorely missed by all.
Ride off into the sunset, oh great Shiver!
Do not make us wait any longer! The tears will only flow harder.
Ride, you fool!
Your place is not here with us anymore; it is with those courageous orphans.
So ride.
When we are thirsty, we will think of that time
You rode your camel valiently
And found us water.

Shiver, shiver.
Four letters, two syllables.
All wisdom.

This town is too small for your dreams.
Greater things await you beyond these walls.
We watched you grow, raised you as our own,
But what we have here is not enough,
And we understand.

All of us have had that hunger,
Yet lacked the courage to leave.
So we stayed,
We raised families,
And found a place.

Yet we always felt that hunger.

But you, courageous Shiver,
Have greater will than us all.

I know you will think about us, and likewise ourselves.
But know that you are better off where you are,
Wherever that may be.
This town survived before you came,
And it will survive long after.

So ride! Don't think twice!

Maybe you will return, maybe you will not.
Your memory will sustain in our hearts.

Bye Shiver, good luck.
