Man I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone or something. Hardly anyone in here at 08:42:14PM? About this time there's at least 65 ppl all posting something to read, putting in their 2 Cents, having a rant or something. I understand about last minute shopping but for the first time I feel really weird in here :(

Oh well I'm done shopping and have nothing better to do since I'm not crazy enough to go back out into the hell of 4 times the amount of traffic on the freeway.

Ya some of us have cool things called "lives" The dictionary says "lives" is: "Human existence, relationships, or activity in general." This may puzzel some of you, because people with "lives" have known to do strange things like socialize.

yeah, "lives"... i tried using mine once and it just sucked, so i came back here immediately :D

Man, those things suck... when I tried it, it required me to like go outside and stuff... there's air out there!!! aahhhhhh!!!!

then there was the socializing part... there were these people and and they tried to talk to me and they scared me and i ran away...

then i had to get a girlfriend... well that worked out really well until the little bitch wanted me to start buying shit for her... hell no! i need that money for vijigames!

yeah, so after that she pretty much kicked the crap out of me and i went home and played Shenmue II... having a life sucks and i don't recommend it to anyone unless they enjoy talking to people, going outside and having the crap kicked out of you by a hot chick...

hmm, maybe i'll take that last 1/3 of my life back...

:D I understand full well about socializing dude, and while I make no qualms about being 80/20 ---80% Solitary by choice... I just hate dealing with crowds and having to explain myself every half hour... and 20% Social... No man is an island and must eventually hang with his buds and stir shit up among the global sheep--- What I meant was "was it that dead at that partiuclar time last XMAS?" I didn't originally register until May of 2002 so I wasn't around last year for any of it, then after 8 months of being Stormrider I said screw it, dropped him (Storm should be deleted soon) and decided to start from zero again in which to interact in this community.

Thus I think this was a valid question and not just one I came up with outta' my ass. I'm fully aware that weekends are generally dead around here, I was just surprised that with it being XMAS and all, I just figured everyone was like me, having finished shopping already (unless you're a procrastinator) and would be avoiding any further traffic assholes... ahem, I mean, Traffic Hassles... and be all hanging out throwing down the gauntlet about this or that right here. I guess I should've phrased my original Thread Title differently. :( Anyhow it's all good, I've got 3 true friends in this life, a good woman of almost 3 years, a bunch of associates to talk shit with from time to time when I feel like it... and I'm meeting up with some other Neo heads tonight (Sunday 22) who some might end up on the true friends list with the passing of time. So if your response was a put down... it failed. If your response was legit based off any misconstrued conceptions based on my flawed ability to be more concise with the topic thread then I understand that. Either way this place is still the best and I never hold a grudge (well I do, but it takes a lot more than that.)... 'sides in here you're tougher than leather or nothing at all :)

See you on the battlefield gamer!

Well I was an only child/military brat growing up who's cousins all live far away from me in Ohio and California... thus it was just the Grandparents and my parents around. Thus I'm not too close to my family today. I love and respect my parents (as much as I can) but I don't consider them family. MY family is my best friend who's in Idaho now :( ... and 2 other dudes who live in SATX but are on differing schedules than me, and they're with their BIG families. If I didn't have my current GF of 2 1/2 years I'd have nothing to do at XMAS time but sit around playing video games to be honest... or now in here chatting it up on the forums. Thus I guess family-solidarity isn't something I know much about. When you're born in Minneapolis Minnesota, attend a Mussleloading/Mountain Man shoot in 78 at 5 months old... get the blessing of an Indian Chief and then are warped back to Texas on an American Airlines never to go anywhere like most Military Brats... you just learn that life is about Murphy's Law, and you'd better not depend too much on others... and make those you close to you an adopted family if you can. That's my story... but please, no boo hoos... I'm long pass that shit.
