:blink:

.......So you ask…..”Where the bloody ****in’ hell has Blindside been all this time!!??”


Well where do I start...ummmmmm...the beginning is probably as good a spot as any :$

As you may or may not have been aware…January saw me starting a new job at a facility much closer to where I live on this planet by about 2 hours per day less travel, awesome!...and I get paid to maintain Australia’s most expensive Defence computer game all day …more awesome!

However….the downside from starting a new job…the very steep learning curve…not so awesome :/ … and certainly not the amount of spare time I used to have in order to run a Clan and play heaps of FEAR :’(

Nite-Ninja and BlackAce ( with Hitman beavering away in the background ^^ ) have been doing an absolutely brilliant job holding the ship together in my absence and a huge amount of kudos goes to the “principals” of this Clan…ThankYou guys..you are ****ing fully sik bro! :wub:

…so I’m back to take a more active role once again in ICBM as poor BlackAce has been struggling as best he can with his own work priorities and dilemmas!


Anyway… the learning curve thing was finally starting to work itself out when ….BANG….a very close childhood friend of mine lost his eldest son to an accidental drug overdose following the son’s attendance at a “V” Music Festival ( named after the pay-tv channel ) near here at a place in Queensland , Australia known as The Gold Coast
…basically a ritzy tropical playground for tourists, teenagers and retirees from the southern states of Australia. He took 6-7 ecstasy tablets with another tablet known as GBH ( Grievous Bodily Harm )….and a number of beers over the course of a 3 day festival weekend, from all reports from his mates he went with…he had a fantastic time at the festival…he just failed to wake up the morning after he returned home and was in the Critical Care Unit in a very brain damaged coma for 5 days before his heart finally had enough and his Dad had to make the heart rending decision to turn the ventilator off.

We buried the lad ( who was due to turn 20 years old next month ) two weeks ago

…although the reason was soul shaking and very deeply saddening…the celebration of Kris’s life was beautiful and I am hoping that the searing pain my friend, his wife and their surviving children are bearing in their hearts will fade with time and somehow he and his family can pick up the pieces and carry through onwards with this precious thing we call life.

Needless to say, such a tragedy has had us all “circle the wagons” around our loved-ones and sort of disappear into a state of re-assessing our directions and priorities…ALL you guys/gals need to give your Mum’s, Dad’s, brothers, sisters, boyfriends and girlfriends a huge hug and kiss and tell them how much you love them because, as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow,…we ALL have a habit of taking each other for granted, that these people will of course be there tomorrow, when really they may not :(

As to closure about the way we lost a good kid and aspiring intelligent young man to a cavalier attitude of “ it will never happen to me”
…even if ONE person from the pairs and groups of Kris’s friends who all made the journey to the hospital to see their mate on his deathbed…decides to stop playing with unknowns as a result of seeing Kris in the state he was in in Critical Care…then having him there for so long will be well worth it!

Please…all you young fella’s and your mates…you are NOT 10 foot tall and bulletproof….accidental overdoses when experimenting with fire DO happen…Kristjan is testament to that…the best thing is not to experiment in the FIRST place…but hey…if that’s not gonna happen as we all discover bit by bit, the wider world around us, then for God’s sake…have a chaperon present, someone who is staying drug-free at the time to keep an eye on the others and can call for help if things look to be going a little pear-shaped.. Please!

At any rate…I am very pleased to be back
:D

Oh shi- BOOM

After taking a class (and failed it so I gotta retake it... AGAIN) of World Cultures, I learned a little bit more about Australia's mateship. Its intriguing how a team of guys can be together and take a bullet for each other. That would never happen in the Americas because everyone is a homophobe around here, which is stupid.

Honestly life should never be taken alone, because 2 minds is greater than one. And damn those who think differently.

Fuck fuck fuck FUCK. Yep no censor :o

On another note, it is summer, I am not in my college dorm anymore, and that means i have very minimal use of internet for the next 4 months. I'll be sure to sneak over to my cousin's house and play a few rounds of Combat just for shits and giggles (Amazing how many in Combat ask what ICBM is, if I was staying a bit longer, I could've hosted a Combat section of ICBM, being one of the top players [or at least in V1.07] there.)

Glad to have ya back and sorry we were nagging so much. *puts the flamethrower down* now settle in and have fun.

Never met 'er. Of course knowing Aussies, I can imagine. Aussies are cool to begin with.
