Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
Seriously, good luck in your endeavors. I hope to hear from you in a couple of years...and you'd best have some interesting stories to tell.

This is to say FaRewell, FRiends; at least for a time.
But I expect this to be a pretty extended time.
Thanks for the fun, thanks for all the laughs, thanks for putting up with me.
So why am I "going?" I am signing off in order to be able to devote my full time and attention to the achievement of certain important personal goals. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to be able to really do the other things I need to do, and freep too.
Again, I expect this to be an extended time. I expect to be gone for at least two years. Possibly forever, but at least two years.
Now if I should succeed in achieving not only my initial goals, but my larger goals as well within the next two years, then I suppose it's possible that I might be back a bit sooner. But as far as I can tell, I would have to meet with extraordinary good fortune to accomplish both sets of goals.
This, incidentally, is the essence of conservatism: Accepting responsibility and going out and taking the action necessary to make my own life better -- as well as the lives of other people too.
This will be my last public post for a long, long time. Perhaps we will meet again, somewhere beyond January 1st, 2010.
It's been fun, and perhaps will be again.
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
just kidding.
at least you didn't go out whining.
Wishing you success and a very Merry Christmas.
God bless you sir as you begin your new endeavors.
Good luck with your life.
May you return a proud Jedi Knight and may we all rejoice in your accomplishments. May the FBWY.
Adios & good luck!
Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
Seriously, good luck in your endeavors. I hope to hear from you in a couple of years...and you'd best have some interesting stories to tell.
Merry Christmas.
Your OP was like pulling teeth to figure out what you are talking about but take care.
Sounds like he’s enlisting :-)
Good luck to you, and be safe.
Whew, I thought Luke Skywalker had died. I was going to be sad. In all seriousness though, best of luck to you and in all of your future endeavors.
Best wishes in all your endeavors.
Hey, good luck there FRiend, your opus was stand up, honorable and dignified, Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Best,
MKJ
Heck, it wouldn’t be a crime to drop in now and then, if you have a few minutes.
There will be a Global 2010 if you decide to come back Luke..
Fight a good fight but be ever vigil and don’t go to the dark side.
No joke dude don’t do anything stupid....I am just as ticked as you please FReep mail someone or call home.
Let’s hope for a Semper Fi.
May God be at your back, and guide you through the still water. :^)
Yea, I know what you mean; too many targets, too few bullets!
Least. Informative. Opus. Ever.
You are right though.
Burn the ships that offer retreat. Have desire, a plan and Faith in Him when despair sets in.
