Been a massive delay in posts from me but its due to a couple of reasons. One being that as I reported a while back, im being sent to Afghanistan soon and ive been busy busy sorting all the courses and training.
Also! we are moving house!! With Mrs Borgio having kid number two on the way the good old military is letting us have a 3 bedroom house. So whilst ive been away on a course Mrs Borgio, supported by many friends and family, has moved us in. Apparently its a nice place, Ill be home today to look at it (writing this from where my course is)
Only bad thing about moving is that the british telephone and internet companies are CRAP! Its going to take around a week to connect the phone and another week for the broadband……. FUCKING TWO WEEKS WITHOUT INTERNET! Im going to die…..
So anyway what have I been doing with my time? Well mostly WoW. Raided Black Temple on my Warlock for some experience but as usual with WoW, once ive had a break away from it I cannot be bothered to come back. Im back to full time GMing the guild again and it really does suck the fun out sometimes. I play games to enjoy myself, but sometimes its just not fun. Levelling doing little instances is fun. Organising a months worth of raids, dealing with problems with forum access and dkp problems… not fun!
So where will I go from here? I will probably not step down, ill keep doing the GM thing, but I think I might cut back my raiding. Only hit a couple of times a week. This way it gives me time to do other things. Such as hit cap in LOTRO (got 45 yay) play some more EQ2, play Conan when its released..
There is so much id like to do, but its that small leash tying me to WoW that is stopping me. But trying to cut that leash is like trying to pull off your own arm. It doesnt matter how hard you try because in the end you stop cause it hurts. Nothing against wow but the game in intself is shallow in what you can do once you get to the “dizzy heights” of a raider. Im at the stage where I can only progress myself by raiding. Alts are a bore (I have 3 level 70’s and a 66) so what can I do? Rediscover the fun.
Who knows where I will go. If I had the willpower and the wanting to quit then it would be a delete to all my characters. But with WotLK around the corner, I am at least a little compelled to see it.
Ill end with a quote:
I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid… you’re afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone, and then I’m going to show these people what you don’t want them to see. I’m going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.
A choice I leave to myself………..
