YearOfTheNick is Leaving SWF.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to start a thread sharing that I'm not going to be on SWF for a while. As I sit here trying t ofigure out why I'm always so tired, it's because I lay awake on the forums to all hours of the night, slowly beginning to realize I have a little addiction. Pairing that with not having a job, and I'm really beginning to lose in life. I'm not saying goodbye forever, but at least for now.
So, goodbye....
RotaryMagic, you're a good man, even though I wish I could kick you between the legs every now and then.
stdreb, I'll miss your funny expressions and political stints. You have a good heart and I wish you the best for your family. Also, you can never have too many firearms IMO.
RUAround, at least you still have CFR.
CFR, at least you still have RU. I will miss your myriad of daily pointless threads which are one of the main reasons for my leaving. Not because of the threads you started, but because I'm spending too much time answering them. Knowing that you work for a cosmetics company, I will not look at lipstick or foundation the same way... I'll see them and think of bacon. Ahh, sweet, glorious bacon.
SoCal57Che, thanks for being a really awesome dude. I'm glad we had the chance to tag-team on some of the religious threads. I will keep you updated when I find a job. I may very well be back on the forums if I do.
El Guapo, I will never punch another kitten without punching a second one just for you. Good times, man.
Mimzy, Mimzy, Mimzy. Thanks for helping me challenge my faith and teaching me about yours. I hope one day they can build boxing gloves into computers so that every time someone says something stupid, you can activate it and "send" a nice uppercut to the jaw. I'm sure you'd have a blast with that... and the recipients probably deserve it, too. Hey, if the planets align and that ever happens, send out a few punches for me too.
Crimzy. Great family. Great Aquarium. Great Lawyer. ... wait is that possible? I thought lawyers were heartless? There have been a couple of times where we would debate, and I would have loved to contract-hire you to argue my case against yours... oh what a sweet sweet dilemma you would have, though you're probably used to it.
I'm planning on making the cut tomorrow. As I think of more people to say goodbye to, I'll post more names.

I feel honored to be at the top of your list.. I hope you get everything squared away man, I really do. Sometimes we have to be things we enjoy doing on hold so that we can take care of the more important things that directly impact our lives as a whole. Best of luck and hopefully we see you back sooner than later (but in moderation... you don't want to create a cycle of this sort of thing lol..)

Sorry to hear that you won't be around YearOfTheNick. You have some really good values that will surely be missed.

There is an answer to your problems that will allow for another adiction as well as allow you to keep the one you currently have.
It is what I do.

Besides your health is of little imporance when it comes to surfing forums.

Nick, I wish you would reconsider staying. I think you are a valuable part of this board. You certainly will be missed. At least check in from time to time to say hi if you do decide to leave

To the peanut gallery...

Thanks guys! I don't plan on NEVER returning, but I just think I should focus more time on getting a job instead of spending hours on SWF each day. Having a family is really what makes me feel like this needs to happen. I've got my resume out there, but that doesn't change that I should be proactive and make contact with people instead of waiting for them to contact me. I'll be back for sure... I just don't know when. It's time to play Life (not the game).

Hey Nick... I understand what you are saying about this being an addiction. So my advice to you, go out, get back into the world, get through the withdrawal period and come back a better man.
Seriously, though, I think most people here have had to take a hiatus after a while... this site is actually more addicting than the actual keeping of saltwater fish. Sorry to see you go... but you'll be back.
But I do enjoy your participation here (except a particular political thread once). Come back soon.

BTW, if you ever need anything, just PM me.
