At long last, I have chosen to break my silence, if only for a moment. The time for my return is not yet here; indeed I do not expect to fully return until sometime next year, as the tail end of the present year has given me quite enough to think about.

We have completed our move from the ghetto to a richy-rich neighborhood in Pataskala. The move was very stressful, though oddly enough I think more so because of our increased prosperity than for the change of scenery. To the outside observer, one would think we were quite well to do; I don't believe I've ever lived in such a nice place before, and it offers quite a nice array of services within walking distance. Things such as Tim Hortons, Krogers, Starbucks, various fast food outlets and other dining options, ice cream, game store, and the like. I'd say by far one of the best things about it is the silence; this place is practically dead after about 8:00 or so, and to be able to walk outside after the first time in so many months is quite a nice change of pace. And I actually WOULD go outside, were it not so cold here....

Other than that, I have nothing of interest to report. I've decided until the beginning of next year to withdraw from online endeavors and focus solely on Dim3; as it is I am typing this from Sa'in's laptop, as the Mac lacks access to the Commonality. Ever since we ditched Winblows in favor of Ubuntu, things have gone much better! Therefore, if anyone wishes to reach me, your best bet is to do it through Sa'in, that or email I suppose, though I don't use it anymore; all I do on the old account is cleanse it, as I have migrated to a new address. However my old address is still active for whomever wants to use it; all allies are on a safe list, so everything else is simply tossed out, as I get so much junk that I don't bother reading mail messages anymore. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you seek out Sa'in....

Phoenix will be 2 years old in a matter of days, though I mcuh looking forward to Christmas, as I cannot wait to buy her many special gifts to thank her for being such a good friend. We've had our breaking points, but we are still here. That, and it promises to bring forth many long sought after conquests; I suppose you could technically say I will be in "7th" Heaven! And after that comes Taven's first birthday!

We've fought long and hard to get to this point, but it looks like things are starting to look up. We all complain about the struggles and hardships in our lives, but maybe they're there to teach us something valuable that we could not learn any other way. Perhaps instead of bemoaning our strife, we should be seeking to gather insight to make us stronger. For that is what I believe the true purpose of adversity is; it is to help identify weaknesses so that one can strengthen said weaknesses. Above all, it strengthens ones character....

In other words, suck it up, emo kid!

As for Dim3, I will be compiling a demo project to be released by request only. Or not, it depends on if I bother with a public beta; after all, no one but Mac users will be able to partake, as I do not have plans for a Windoze release at this time. The project was never intended for the public, therefore I suppose we will wait and see....


Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year! Sa'in has been cooking all sorts of goodies lately, like pancakes and steak and such; I cannot wait to see what the future brings!

If you need me, you know where to find me. I will return as soon as the Commonality on the Mac has been restored, and for any would-be challengers who think they can defeat me in online combat, I would welcome the opportunity! (Ally status or higher only)


Until next time, be well.
