Why? TF never said that they should stop impaling people on swords at any given point.
 
It ended with a draw.
 
I come here a day later and exhausted from work just to be disappointed that the sword thing hasn't escalated like the metal thing.
Where's Snerk when you need him ? You people have really lost your edge.
 
edit: nvm no spoilers yet :mischief:

I see you haven't mastered the art of quote-spoiling.
 
Your bullets flying above my head like my puns flying over yours :ar15:
 
It's the flu, man. I'm not up to my usual verbal sparring levels.
 
Moderator Action: Can we get back to the rants, people?
 
Getting caught in a hailstorm and spending three days (and counting) inside because of the flu is not enough of a rant?
 
I have a bunch of responses typed up in various threads from the past few days, but haven't posted any of them. I think I'm just getting tired of constantly debating and arguing with people here.

Of course, this might just be a symptom of a larger "crisis" of sorts in my life right now. I've fallen into a routine where all I do is work, sleep, or take care of my kids. Those have literally become the only things I do. The funny (or sad, depending on your perspective) thing is, those are really the only things I want to do. I don't want to debate people here anymore, I don't want to play video games anymore, I don't even want to go shooting anymore. I've even been kicking around the idea of selling off my guns and my game consoles simply because I just don't use them anymore. For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I just don't want anything to do with any activity or hobby that doesn't involve my work or my family. In the past few months, every time I try to do something else, I seem to get bored and disinterested relatively quickly.

I know some here are going to suggest it might be some kind of depression, but I don't think it is. I am perfectly fine when I'm working or spending time with my family and I'm not sad or anything that I have lost interest in the things I used to love. I think I've just moved on from my old hobbies. The only thing that is messing with me about all this though is that I don't know what could have caused this sudden shift in my interests.

It happens sometimes. :dunno:

Interests wax and wane, and a person can spend years ignoring things they used to be into.

Your old hobbies may not hold interest for you right now, or maybe not even two or five years from now. But you never know; you might get inspired by something and want to go back to them, or maybe your kids will be interested some day.
 
You need a vacation.

I do take a yearly vacation to see the Army/Air Force football game with my father. It's our little rivalry since I served in the Army and he served in the Air Force.
