As many of you know, I havent been online playing for a while due to my wifes request and all the stress I was going through job wise. Well, it got worse before it got better. I was set to move to Ft. Lauderdale and take a EMT job with Wackenhut paying over 40k.....then it happened. Had a rough spout with my ex wife over child support and had to take her to court to have it reduced to a normal livable amount. My dad, who had been sick with Pancreatitis, had lost so much weight and was in and out of the hospital constantly back in Chicago. Then his older brother, who was suffering from cancer which started after he was diagnosed with colon cancer got terminally ill. Sad part was that when he was diagnosed, they removed and cured it all but somehow he got cancer throughout the body 2 years later. Then I found out that the Ventrical Septer Defect in my 6 month old son's heard hadnt closed up and he will have to see doctors over the next year or so to monitor it so that he doesnt need heart surgery.

Now many of you are probably like "damn!", but it gets worse. Somehow before they adjusted and reduced my child support for my daughter, they were taking so much money from me that I had to leave the job in Ft. Lauderdale. Even when I tried to make it work, I couldnt find a place to live that didnt have under a 2-3K deposit. My uncle got worse, as did my dad. Uncle lost tons of weight, from 189 to 110 and constantly sick, would fall over and not be able to get up and had to be monitored. Dad the same....forced to retire from the job he did for over 30 years. We did our best to make the thing work but it didnt, so me and my wife had to pack up the house and kids and I had to move back to Chicago about 2 weeks ago. We got here on wednesday, my uncle died on friday.

Then it started getting better....found a great job as a school administrative counselor with Techskills paying me more than my job with Wackenhut. I get to take my MCSE and A+ for free as a perk. My dad, although sick still, seems to be doing better and was definitely greatful to see his grandson. Im a lot happier being back around my mom and two older sisters.... they are spoiling little Eli and the boys. I'll be FINALLY building my quad core sli machine in a few weeks and look forward to resuming my role as the "official negro of n00bfest". Until then, i just have my laptop and will poke in and out to say howdy every now and then.....

by the way
