Well I guess the subject seems like the tip of the iceberg as I look back to my history on this particular forum. For those of you who know me well this is kinda explaining what has happened to the once active Blackdrake and why I haven't truly been on for over a year. For those of you who dont know me well let this be a strange introduction hehe.
So to begin it was close to four years ago that I stumbled upon this webpage and at the time I thought to my self 'Hey whats the worst that could happen' To my delight I found a great group of people who I enjoyed Rping with. Then The forum well died and you can see that through the About tab. (not my thing to get into) So when it came back I was happy and rejoined. I tried to be active then but it was to no avail, I lost contact about Nov. - Dec. of 2012. Sense then I have popped in a few times to check on the forum and see that it was still up and going despite my inactiveness. So what caused this drop off? a multitude of things.
The fist being that high school was beginning to wrap up for me and heading into the second semester I was told by my grand master that I should test for my second degree black belt that spring. Realizing that my time was limited and I wouldn't be near enough to continue attending his classes I chose to go along with the 16 week test. That was a major time crunch though I did succeed. That also leads to my next blockage of time: College. As many here know college can be a big time drain, especially the first semester. (I am going for a Bio-Chem and molecular biology double major ><). I have however done more interesting things then just school and martial arts. During the summer before school started I began training for something fun that I had planned a 36 hour continuous engagement military simulation. The game its self was hosted by Blacksheep milsim at the military base in Guernsey. It was fun but I am not nor am I claiming to be a member of the armed forces. In the end I achieved a soldier of the battle award and a pathfinder award.
Now after that longer than expected recap of why I wasn't active I have good news. Now that I know how to study for college and manage my time better then previously I have found that I have more free time. That leads me to believe that I can be just as active if not more then I was when I originally joined.
So Im back.... yay
If you have any questions feel free to ask! I don't bite... hard
Edit: Oh yes and as always "Im-a-rule-reader"
