"Not Quite Another Goodbye" or "I'll be seeing you again someday"

I made this psot in response to the thread "Another Goodbye", and if you ever wtached Rocky and Bullwinkle, you'll understand my title. It was kinda long, and I had to save and reboot halfway through writing it, so I decided to make another topic for it.

This is copy pasted from my textpad:

I havent checked these boards since about 4 days before school started, and this is the beginning of week 4 of school. I've been away, but my life has become terribly different.

First and most obviously, schools in, this eats up 5 hours a day, plus the time getting up in the morning. (Us cool badass seniors are elligible for Minimum Day, or as other districts call it, Work-study.) I absically get out of school 2 hours earlier than the rest of the underclassmen punks.

Second, and most importantly, I met a girl. A really great girl, about 2 weeks before school started I started dating her. Aside from being cuter than hell, and sweet, shes as geeky as me. I got her addicted to GTA3/VC, and Counter Strike. (I dont care what you nay sayers think, CS is still a fun game.) And how many of you can say "Oh, man, that was a great match last night, my GIRLFRIEND covered for me with the AWP while I rushed ahead with my M4A1 to check the other bomb site." Granted she cant handle automatics for ****, shes very used to sniping, its all she does in Unreal Tournament. Shes unbeleivably attached to me, I see her almost every day, and I enjoy every minute of it. Whats greater than having your special girl sit in your lap and rack up headshots on awp_map?

Special props to my love, Erin, she'll never read these forums though, but I can hope.

Third, i've been going around with my friends alot more than I used to. Everyday, im doing some thing, and as geeky as this sounds, I play Dungeons and Dragons twice a week, I play a Holy Paladin, and Erin is a satanic pagan 17 year old evil-doer, thus hilarity ensues when one minute were cuddling on a couch, and the next we're yelling at each other and rolling dice to see whos charcter survives the next skirmish. Thus when im with my friends, we're palying video games or going to pools, attending all weekend LAN party's, off-roading, or competively plinking with our air-rifles.

Fourth, I have a job. I owe my parents 300$ for my birthday present, a 1000$ computer. I work at Kroger for minmum wage, and its bites ass. But you'll pleased to know I dont work very hard at all. What with taking a long time to clear the lot of shopping carts, running moved merchandise to its original position, cleaning spills, and other crap (like eating samples) Im moving around a lot, so i usually actually bag about 15 peoples groceries a day. And eating food out of the damaged merchandise cart. Yes, I am the worst employee ever, and Im afraid I dont feel much shame, after all, they're paying me crap.

Fifth, Im not in the Day of Defeat section of my Gaming Cycle. I get tired of games as they grow stale. I got tired of DoD like 8 weeks ago, hence, If I dont play it, im not terribly inclined to mod for it. Instead, I turned to my BF1942 discs, Up until now, i've been play that a lot. Having a PS2 controller is amazing, props to my bro making this thing work. Since the LAN aprty I attended over Labor day weekend, i've been in my CS mood. BF is fun, but now its over, cause I fricken own at CS. ALl the party, I was doing ****ty as ****. Then we started the tournament, four teams, and it came down to my team, and the other winner, and I won. I went from doing terrible, to kicking the ass outta these CSG guys. I didnt leave with the top score, but i definatly went from "zero to hero". Thus im in the CS cycle. And the CS cycle is never too long, after some matter of weeks, im going to get real tired of the cheaters,a nd get back to a more cheater free zone of HL gaming, Day of Defeat. I desperatly need to make a garand, and I ahve a kinda cool tommy gun right now, it just needs the sounds aligned, which I dont feel like doing, cause, well, those 5 reasons.

Ill attach the pictures of my newest CS player skins, both basic reworks of existing models, cept they dont look like low res ****.

If I ever get this ****ty digital camera working, I'll take a picture of me and Erin, and as many friends as I can fit into a picture.

So, i get home late most nights, If its 11:00 pm, I turn on Cartoon Network and watch the Family Guy and Futurama reruns till midnight, when I sleep. Im home late most nights. Any earlier, Im too tired to think, SO i play Counter strike. Weekends are either Spent:

1. At another freinds house

2. At a LAN party

3. anywhere else

So, y'know, i dont have much time, but ill be back in this sometime, so for now, fare well, ill log on AIM, but dont expect much from me, Its jsut something Im not able to do right at this moment, and Family guy is on, so im out to sleep and TV.

So long friends, for now.....

Well take it easy Devin, you have produced some of the best custom models this forum has ever seen, and i for one will miss that, and your posts.


All the best to you, the Hack Job Pro

Good luck with the girl, man.
They can be a huge annoyance at times, but in the end it's worth it.
Just remember: you get what you put into it.

My girlfriend and I have been dating almost for two years now. I've gotten her to play DoD a few times, but she doesn't have the system to handle it. And she always gets mad when I shoot her (rightfully so, but hey, she'll shoot me first if she has the chance).

Anyway, good luck!

You have no obligation to the MSA community, Devin Kryss. You shouldn't feel any guilt for not regularly contributing.

hey dev, buddy, lets not forget who helped ya get that GF of yours ;)

nah, but its cool your livin your life to its extent. i guess that hits everybody at some point, as its slowly creeping up on me.. good feeling actually. good to know that you still keep up your work as a hackjobber and what not, and i cant thank you enough for your contributions to the community and all that.

Not only that, but i would be NO where in this community if it wernt for you. i mean damn, you tought me the basics of milkshape and all that crap, and helped me on countless projects. thanks for that.

i aint surprised that you were going to make a message like this, looks like the generation of this MSA community has finally grown up (Sniff) and if you havent noticed many people have dissapeared as well. all i can say is, that this place can be more like family, than a community, as rediculous as that may sound. but when you get to know the people, its like "hey, me and this dude could be really good freinds" ya id have to say dev was my best freind from this community, always willing to help.

and ya, get some pics up man. of you and your GF. jus post em when ya get the time.

guess ill be talkin to ya later, dev :-D

Lol cool pics. You've given this community many things and we would like you to know that it is appreciated. Good luck with everything man and I hope everyone realizes that theres more to life than just computer games ( I haven't realized that yet ) Also thanks for doing my model request Devin, hope you finish it soon :)

lol Ska! I don't tell any of my friends, male or female that I go to the boards everyday and create some custom stuff once in awhile. They'll probably call me a freak or something lol :)

Well its hard to juggle all that no doubt. We have to close this since this forum is for modeling discussion only.

We have other forums dedicated to non-modeling discussion.

Thanks,
