Ok, Im gonna hit some expalinations to a few things.
MOTM--
Really Im not upset at all about it. Really. Its one of those thing that I have perpective on. All the nominations this month deserve to win, much less be nominated. I am not nearly as knowledagle or helpful as these guys. I know that. You know that. I am the class clown seeking attention through wit and sarcasm. I try to help out the super green guys cause I know thats the critical stage of development. But once they get the grasp of things, I have to defer to all ofyou who have way more technically sound advice. I try to greet every new member, because my indroduction still lays un-answered and I didnt like that feeling. I report spambots because I really do want to help this site because of how much it has meant to me.
I would much rather just be a guy with some decent points every once in a while, some sarcasm and humor, and lots of love. If I never even get nominated, ITS COOL WITH ME. Please know Im being sincere and when I said peoples champ that was gain just my attempt at humor. This place has already given me more than I can hope to payback. Its all good in the hood my friends.
As to my absence and moodiness---
Mrs Spimp and I are going through some rough times. 95% of it is finacial.
Last year we made the desicion for me to quit my job. I was working 60-70 hours per week and making good money. But my hours were 12-12 basically and my kids and her were on there own 6 days a week. I was offered a day position making much much less money and much less time. I accepted mostly to retain the benefits from my employer. This allows me much more time with my family which is priceless. I get to see them eveyday now. I dont regret the desicion. But we are barely making it. When unbudgeted issues arise, we almost can never get it handled. I have sold alot of my personal stuff to try to help but its still not enough.
This + I can be a tempormental person, espicially when Im not medicated. Ive never been clinically diagnosed but believe I suffer from mild bi-polar disorder not to mention all the other stuff! So when we have issues (like we have now) mixed in with me running fairly dry currently, you get a less than Spimptastic Spimp.
I apoligize. I always try to leave u guys out of it because I think this place is for peace and harmony and my personal issues should no detract from that. Please relize you guys are my best fictinal internet friends Ive ever had! I look foward to checking every single journal whether its to rile up Rico, or see how much of a smartazz I can be. i have no problem with any of you and I truely enjoy the comapny.
As to our fallen brother--
Im gonna be really vague here because I do try to respect the sites rules (For the most part. I may push a little with OTT but its all in good fun.) and since I dont want to read them all, Ill just talk in generallities as to not tip-toe the line.
Some people here get disgruntled. I Have been from time to time as well. We all handle it differently. I dont act like I know alot that you guys dont. Ive actually recieved PM about stuff I didnt know was said and I couldnt find where it was said. I also know that certain things should not be said. Especally on these threads. Mods dont take very kindly to that, (If I was a mod, most of us would be on vacation lol).
I sometimes try to make a personal connection with members via PM to calm situations down, or remind people that this is a site that is world wide and that SECURITY is of the utmost importance. The mods here work very hard to make sure that the security is tight. Theyalso do the same regarding contests, OTT posts, and tons of stuff that we here never relize they do to protect what they can.
We as memebers get caught up with our 'friendships' here and sometimes forget that this is a MMJ advocacy site and not just a hang out. I have been guilty of this as I have very very few 'real friends' and none of them know about the Ghetto like you guys do.
When it comes to the fundamentals of this site, we must color inside the lines. Questioning security measures or scrutinizing Moderation and fairness are not gonna taken lightly here. That is discussions you have with mods in private if at all. Not things to speculate on in broad daylight where non-members have access. I have no idea if that is what lead to this, but to be honest, Thats not our place. I truely hope nothing I have done, said, or implied leads anyone to anything detrimental to this site. Except maybe super kayaking.
I would like this to be the last comment on this issue because I dont want any of you to cross any lines. If you have questions or somments, please PM me. But know I dont have all the answers.
In closing, basically Im ready to get back to the journal. A place of love for all, education through my fails, and making sophmoric humor and 'dik jokes'. I hope your mood is not affected by my fillabuster. Im ready to hav some fun and grow some MJ.
