I thought it never could happen, but it has. I am burned out on posting on this BBS and I don't know how to fix this "burn-out". Maybe it's the Rockets losing what seems like 30 games in a row or studying for finals or I don't know what, but I just have not been into this site and the topics. I don't know if I ever will post like I did before. Some of you may find this funny and mock me, but I don't care. I am still going to stay in the sim leagues and I will post there when necessary, but as for the other forums, I think I'm done for awhile. I will still check in on the site periodically and read some stuff, and hell, I might even post. However, it just doesn't seem to be that important to me anymore. Maybe not posting or only posting a little bit will cure me of this "burn-out", but I want to say that I enjoy this place and I'm not upset with it or anyone here. I just want to go away for a while. Like Achebe said in his thread, it might be for a second or it might be for a couple of days or maybe even weeks....I really don't know. However, I have rambled long enough...merry Christmas to all and a happy New Year.
I've been there, done that -- back in the old days, I used to post more than anyone (under Sigemund). Then I moved to college, and didn't visit the BBS for like a year . . . then I started reading, but not posting for another year and a half -- I came back about a year ago, and started posting, but I just don't have the time/energy/desire to keep up with it like I used to . . .
It happens, it's like a slump. You just lose interest. I remember a couple of months ago when I went 5 days between posts, and not only posts but I wasn't even reading the BBS. Of course my number of posts have been dipping, but I don't know if it coincides with depression since the Rockets aren't winning. Who knows!
Try Finning it for a while, couple of weeks of and I Agree and you'll back back to normal. Btw Manny don't let everyone finding out you are a Stripper stop you from posting.
I went away for about a month. I'm still not here as much as I was before (and I ignore a lot more threads these days), but I am back. And I'm just looking to find another long, long argument about song lyrics or Napster or even the Presidential election. I miss the good ol' days.
ya know, I think we also kindof run out of things to talk about . . . although, when the rockets start winning and kicking ass again, it'll be better.
or...are you also Achebe and he is you and you are worse of a BBS addict than you two, er, you are giving into!?
With how rough some of these guys have been on you and me, Manny, it might be due to a low testosterone day. Also sounds like typical end of the semester burnout from excess studying. I think I'm about to burn out for a few days after a flurry of posting.
I get burned out after a week of heavy posting. It just doesn't interest me enough. I know what you mean, though.
Yeah, that's the kind of comment that I'd expect from someone with 666 posts Gascon!! SIGN OF THE BEAST!!!
You are an emotional one Mr. Manny. Do you have much balance in your life as a whole? I've got a list of 10 things I (try) to do everyday before I do my recreational stuff (like the BBS) ---and in addition to work. Prayer, Bible Reading, converse with my wife, with another member of my family, with a friend, and do some reading (this is my hobby/past-time) on my two or three areas of interest that I'm researching. I don't keep it perfectly, but it keeps me centered and balanced. Cut out from the board and spend some time with blood and flesh friends and family for a while. When you come back, do so with some other stuff added to your life to make it fuller so you can appreciate the board.
Manny, don't leave before we make Bowl predictions, I'll post soon. Then you can come back some time after the Rose Bowl after you have had enough time to get over seeing all that red in your sleep
