Alright so the purpose of this thread is simple, if you want to rant then do so, if you wish to rave then do so :)
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and this has been a focal point for me. I want to give a little insight as to why I am creating this thread. Since 12-23-2008 I have been unemployed 3 times. These periods have been extremely rough for my family and myself. During this time I have become more active internet wise (meaning instead of checking my email and usual sites I have ventured into the world of forums that are far different than what I am accustomed to).
The stress has been tremendous and at times I felt like I was all alone with nowhere to turn. During the first bout of unemployment I turned to anime to alleviate my stress. I was staying up all night watching numerous shows and it helped me cope oddly enough. During the second period which lasted longer than the first I got into bit torrent more and started a journey into the private worlds which are trackers.
Yeah we have the pirate bay, or nyaatorrents and such but we also have a great number of private invite only trackers that for the most part host a wonderful community. When I first got into it I was a member of a well known invite forum. I didn't know what I was doing and I ventured into the forums and then the irc channels they had (which I am thankful for the ircs) from this I met a lot of great individuals with whom I still keep in touch with via trackers I am on or their respective irc channels.
I've always suffered from some form or another with depression. Obviously with 2 kids and a wife to support being laid off was hard because I couldn't do anything for my family other than getting by on bills and making sure they had food to eat. I spent a lot of lonely nights wondering what was going to happen the next day. This place became my refuge and they kept me sane when I was at my lowest. The purpose of this thread is to help others the way that forum did for me. Now of course we don't always have bad times so I want to hear about the good times as well. Hence the rant or rave approach.
Simply put let's talk.
Maybe you had a good week but you feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed and you have no one to talk to. Tell us here I for one am well known for my listening abilities let me offer them to you. :)
Maybe you had the worst day ever and you want to cry but you have no shoulder to cry on, tell me the story and I'll lend both my shoulders to you.
Maybe you have had the best day EVER! and you want to tell the world about it (well us anyways) by all means do so because it makes me happy knowing people I talk to are happy.
The greatest gift given to us in my opinion is the ability to communicate with each other. Maybe you've heard the stories or you have experienced it first hand when a man or woman dies and then soon after their spouse dies to which the doctor says "It was because of a broken heart" It's true in my opinion because they lost a very important gift, the ability to communicate with the one they held so near and dear to their heart.
Let's talk I'm all ears. Let us be the ones that celebrate your day or encourage you in the night. For those who appreciate my words I urge you to do as I am and lets be there for all who post. All posts are welcomed long or short and are most encouraged.
