Honorable Discharge

Today I have been handed my discharge papers . Dayspring[SpecOps] is retired. No more war and no more online gaming. Not for quite some time anyway.

I have been swamped with things outside of work lately. Like 4 out of 5 nights and the spare night I just want to lay down. I'm surprised I even am sitting here typing. Work is actually busy so I can't do anything there to free up evening time and at home I'm so busy I can't even get to my homework. I guess that's good in a way, but I feel like I should be doing it. It's not busy like hangin out with the guys or going to the gym or anything. It's like someone needs something done or I need to get something done all the time and I very much expect it to get worse. Their is an oportunity for a part time job coming. It's 10 hours a week which is doable and the pay it very good. I want to pay off a couple loans and save for a house if at all possible and it just wont happen as things are. So that is going to take a bite out of me later as well.

Also, It is important to drop the internet connection down to dial-up if not completely. I'll be on one of those 10 dollars a month jobies. It is better for me, trust me! So I can't really play online games anyway.

And so back to the point which is, it's been fun. I'll miss the late nights, fun games, and comrodery(sp?). It's going to be rough hearing about the adventures of Astro, Zep, Munch, Meat, Rock, and now BV. It's tough because the games these days are becoming so adept and realistic that the games from 3 years ago are simply pathetic. BF2 for instance is just amazing and they will just get better. I feel like ranting about it but I won't. At least not till the withdraw kicks in. ^_^

On the other hand I won't be wasting time doing the same things over and over collecting points that simply don't matter to reach a goal that changes nothing. And probably cursing under my frustrated breath half the way there. Yea, it's better for me that I stop. Nothing gets you riled up like a bad night of gaming. Good luck soldiers...

"YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE!...you're my boy."

Poor Dayspring, withdraw can be very difficult. I know exactly where you are, it can be so busy sometimes it just feels like you dont even have time for sleep. I wish you good luck with your work and dont forget to take a moment to enjoy life as you so vividly described in past posts.

Now the dayspring song,
Daaaaaaaysrping! He's the man, going to work. la la la (I dont have the rest of the lyrics worked out yet.)
