Last week was possibly the worst week I've had, ever. (Not including the week I dropped my He-man down a well when I was five). The short of it is that I lost my job. It wasn't entirely my fault this time either! With the bum economy my company just couldn't afford to keep my services. Last in, first out as they say. I was settled there, I'd made friends, some really good friends, so it all came as a huge shock to me at the time. I relied on my work mates to fill in the social aspect of my life that was taken away cruelly when I was forced out of my student life style. They were more than just work colleagues, they were family. I was torn apart. I had to move back in with my Mum, cut some of my more lavish life style out and settle back down into my old routine of sitting at home playing Super Mario Kart all over again. I felt like my life was taking a step back in time to the mid 90's, something need to be done.
So, after years of lurking I decided to settle down here. Not only because of the fact I love GB, but this seemed like the perfect community for me at this time. The stories shared on here are nothing short of amazing and there are some real characters amongst you. I come here completely as myself. Jobless, and kind of lazy if the truth be told but I know you guys will accept me just as I am. If I'm honest, the thought of a blog kind of scares me. I've never been a big writer. Sure, I got an A in English but I've never been one to write a diary or to post my life on the internet. Times a changin'.
My blog will likely not get read, it'll be more of a platform for me to blow off steam, to write down my weeks events, talk about new games, and maybe even a new job but if you're reading then you are invited on this pretty mediocre ride none the less.
So who knows what the future will bring? A simple username and a keyboard can open a world of possibilities. Will new games be discovered? Will new friends be made? New opinions formed? I don't know the answers to any of those things, but I know one thing - It'll be a fun ride!
Luke.
