Well the time has come for me to say good-bye. It may not be
a permanent good-bye (I might come around again someday to see how things are
going) though I’m sure some will hope it is. I have a few reasons for leaving;
I find myself in a time where I seem to be using the Internet to hide from my
problems so I decided to cute back a bit and move on to other things in life.
One of the reasons is that the site has gotten a bit slow,
lacking interesting articles. It seems only the regulars post on this site and
even they are cutting back on the articles. I’m sure they all have good
reasons, times are tough and not everyone has a lot of time anymore. The news
usually has the same old stories with different characters and some of the
truly annoying or insightful people have either left, don’t post anymore or have
been banned or run out. It’s a cycle, there are times things are up and times
things are down. I’m sure JU will pick itself up again and maybe I’ll find my
way back when it does. JU did also consume a lot of my time and even now it
still does so I need to take another look at my priorities and reorganize them.
Another reason is I have found some other interest online
that while may not consume as much time as JU did, it’s an interest that I was
truly looking for. I have been playing this game called Call Of Duty 4 and
during my online time in this game I discovered a world of clans and guilds
that players can join, make friends that you can talk to while in game play. By
being accepted you get to put the clans name of you name and show it off as you
play online with other people. It’s kinda cool considering now I have people
who I have conversations with and we even formulate strategies to defeat the
enemy in the game. It’s a whole lot of fun. It’s a interest I am not gonna have
much time for if I spend so much time on JU. I already spend way too much time
online as it is.
I am also looking to reviving my faith in church. I attended
a baptism on Sunday at a very beautiful Catholic church and found myself filled
with happiness and enjoyment to see so many children becoming children of God.
I think it’s time for me to find my way back to a better meaning in life as it
seems God continues to put signs in front of me telling me it’s time to come
home. I also need to give my children more than just parental guidance in these
difficult times. There is so much influence out there that it doesn’t hurt to
get a little bit of help from good sources. Plus the church has the rooms in
the back with glass doors between them and the rest of the church, perfect for
children who can’t stay quiet in church (like my kids most likely). I look
forward to going, have not confessed in years, man I will need 1 small sentence
to keep it short and cover it all.
JU is not the only site I will be taking a break from. I
will be limiting my internet use to the gaming clan I joined and their site and
I may also venture into the whole ebay thing as well. I have friends who make a
lot of money off the site so why can’t I? Kind of a bad timing I know but oh
well.
Well, I have to say it was fun being on JU. JU is a great
site and would recommend it to anyone. Things may be on the down side today,
but I’m sure things will change for the better. I’ll miss all the good debates,
the silly arguments, the rants and the insightful articles posted from time to
time. Until next time fellow JU friends and known people. It was a pleasure
being here, picking brains with everyone (though mind didn’t have a lot to pick
on most of the time) I wish everyone a good life. I’ll be back again, someday,
when I have more time. These replies will be my last for now.
Take care.
