Forgetting How To Edit

Posted by shadow575 on November 15, 2009

Wow, I have been pretty much non-existent far too long.  I logged in today and tried to get back up to speed.  I have found concentrating on what I like to do is the best course of action.  My computer time is really limited, and generally I find myself doing other things (fun stuff) instead of editing.  I hope that getting back to my roots will relight the fire that I held so strongly in the past.

One thing that I realized today is that while I am a bit rusty at being an Editor, very  little has changed within the ODP.  I haven’t decided yet if that’s good or bad, but I have an idea.  Judging by a quick visit to Resource Zone, some things are still intermittently broken and the Editors are just as frustrated as everyone else in regards to it.  Guess I really didn’t miss a whole lot.

3 months??

Posted by shadow575 on August 25, 2009

Sheesh, I have been neglecting this blog.  It’s been over 3 months since I posted and that post was a ‘filler’.  Still don’t have anything important to report, I have edited sporadically here and there and logged in for a whole 3 minutes today to catch up on a few things of interest.  Other than that I have just simply not been around much to be tremendously active.

Summer is now winding down though, school is back in for the kids and it should help open things back up.  I look forward to getting back in the swing of things.

Regards.

Ahh the French

Posted by shadow575 on May 7, 2009

Well I’ll be damned if the French haven’t stumbled on the best sporting event on water.  Set your well armed military vessles out and let the idiot pirates come and try to board you.  Good for them!
Really, I still don’t understand why we don’t just have dummy ships floating around out there anyway.  What could be more fun than than a boat full of US Navy Seals sitting on a dummy cargo ship waiting for a couple of motor launches to pull along side and come on board?  Heck these geniuses were duped by a French Frigate that wasn’t even trying to disguise itself.  Plant a few cargo ships around with a few Commando’s on it and after a few more of these goons get nabbed attacking a fully armed military unit and they might just think twice about going after that next juicey cargo ship.

Just my two pennies for the day.    <cmic you know I love ya!>
