so guys, long time no post, whats up on planet amiga?, I've been up to alot of stuff!, been working for a handful of companies doing web design and some corpy packs, logos, etc etc. I'm sick of the graphics field I decided so I toyed with the idea for a while of going to school to study Nursing, but me a nurse? get real... so I decided on getting my TESL cert and am scouting a school to teach at in 06 over in China (this oughta be an adventure), got a handful I'm seriousely looking at. On the personal front I quit cigarettes, booze, and drugs, I dropped a huge amount of weight and I'm in the best shape of my life. Just finished up planning on a trip to Costa Rica this June I'm taking. Life is good

how have you guys been?  :-D

EDIT: btw I'm now a card carrying Libertarian, not a Repub

Glad to hear you're doing well...positive momentum is always a good thing, keeps us young and healthy.

As for me, I've also quit the sticks (still smoke the occasional cigar tho), and hopefully moving to the northern Cali area pending a job I'm trying to setup. Looking forward to sky out of here and get into a different line of work, something a little less demanding so I can finally finish school. As for planet amiga, aside from visiting this site, I check out WinUAE and AROS on occasion...and that's about it.

Also bought a streetbike at the end of last summer, and was having a blast up until it snowed...but I'm looking forward to spring and the return of nice weather, been planning a few big rides both with family/friends and solo. First Seattle to visit some folks (also hitting Vancouver and anything else interesting along the way), then later in the year we plan to cruise through Arizona, parts of New Mexico and who knows maybe even Mexico. I'm _really_ looking forward to riding through the desert, it's something I've been dreaming of (literally) for years.

Take it easy brotha

WOOO!
Meerschaum is back! I've missed you, you troll! :-D

[meerschaum]

@ -D-

Great to hear man, I hope that job works out for you, North Cali rocks, I hope your trip goes well!

@whabang

Speaking of troll, where is Doomy these days? I havent seen'em since I joined Kali game server to get a laugh like 10 months ago. I need a dose of Doomy

[Glaucus]

Meers!!! Good to hear from ya! Even better to hear you've done well for yourself! heh, you almost make it sounds as if quiting A.org had something to do with your recent success!  ;-)

Things here at A.org are about the same. Some new faces, lots of old faces and all the usual grumbles from all the usual suspects. :-)

Btw, congrats on your libertarian membership, I never really thought of you as a true republican anyway.

Cheers!  :pint:

Just stay away from computers! ;-)

Ah good to hear from your Glaucus, how have you been doing?

I certainly do think that staying away from this god forsaken community was healthy, in one sense I feel like a masochist for even posting here again (no I'm not serious, just half serious), but here I am

Times change, but net communities seem to stay the same old habits die hard.

I've been a supporter of the libertarians for a long time, but well, not to slag on repubs, but lets just say I voted for Kerry and felt sad when he lost (even though, realistically, would anything major be different?), that says something coming from someone suchas myself, and I know many more like me in this state (I think we had the highest repub registered voting for kerry of any state in the country? I'm not sure), oh well... the party I'm a card carrier for now might never win a national election but their values and ideas reflect my own more or less and that makes them worth supporting from my perspective.

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Hello Meerschaum, I'm pleased to meet you
I've read much about you, I became active aorg member shortly after you left.
I'm a Socialist pur sang, so you just know :-)

[meerschaum]

nice to meet ya speelgoedmannetje , I'm flatted that I've attained a legendary status, but the real deal is a guy named DoomMaster , where the heck has HE been? last I read he ripped some people off and the whole cummunity was in a furor over him.

[odin]

He was banned (and again, and again etc) and was harassing other forums too. After being banned from most of the Amiga boards I presume he got bored with Amigans and started being an arse on Atari forums :-D. After that...no idea. Perhaps he comitted suicide and made the world that tad bit better?

[cecilia]

actually, meers, the real news these days is that Karlos and I (and others) have been making some very poor and rude jokes about t-shirts, sheep and our scottish friends.

Plus, you have to get familiar with the new Amiga Org mascot - bloodlines' socks. :-o

yup! I know none of this makes sense, but believe me, it's worth learning about! :lol:

Yeah, I still haven't figured it all out!   :-?

Hey Yo!

DoomMaster is on the English Amiga Board under different aliases.

Regards,

[whabang]

One word: X-D

[meerschaum]

@odin

oh come on now, Doomy was good for laughs at least, that page about his history with computers was a real riot.

@cecilia

t-shirts, sheep, and scottish people... what do the three have in common... hmmm and socks? hehehe  :-D

@CU_Amiga

Well I dunno if thats ideal or not, I found the website, but his posts where all removed? cant laugh at that. Why exactly was he banned? did he really rip people off or what?

[CU_AMiGA]

Hey yo!

@meerschaum

I think he got banned for the usual reasons. On EAB, he used: DoomMaster, RetroGeek and The AmigaGuy for his nicks. I think he used them here as well. Anyway grab some popcorn, and read his posts on Atari forum:

Atari Forum DoomMaster Posts

Regards,

PS: It is good to have another half troll half serious Amiga user on these boards! :-)

ok, as I can't leave you hanging like that, here's the threads you have to investigate...

This one started it off when Kenny discovered that he had actually recieved his Amiga t-shirt. He was one of the first and I'm sure, still hasn't gotten over it.

this continued in this thread to degenerate (?) into amazing feats of the ridiculous and sublime.
or something.

anyway, it was great fun.
Crys of "Who's y' feckin' daddy?!" were heard thoughout the land!  :lol:

I think there's actually a Socks thread that lists the growing accumulation of sock references. I'll go looking for it.
