while i appreciate the sentiment, i have already succeeded. i have a family and a house, i make more money than i can piss away, and life is good. thanks for the props, despite our past differences.
as for my absence from this board, it's not because i lost the ability to move and close threads... it's because i was bored with this place and the constant circle jerk of some of it's supposed new "key" members. i can do without the daily career update from militant, the complete yes-man-ism of prize gotti who in his own identity lies a fraud, and most significantly when my seldom returns come all i see are pointless idiotic threads from eric.
...in fact, when i was constantly asked by several people to return to posting i made two posts after a few weeks of silence. one of them was edited, the other deleted. i'm certainly not one to walk on eggshells, but jesus christ, if this place has gotten so faggishly politically correct that i can't call eric (who stalks a teenager) an idiot (i didn't even name call) because he is in his late 20's and doesn't know which is a larger quantity, .4 or .00004 then fuck this forum. the facts that there are a zillion general hip hop sites on the net and that the "new server" bullshit fundamentally tanked this site make things bad enough...
i joined this site in the late 90's to discuss 2pac. clearly that's not the orientation now, and i can appreciate that; but when there's moderation soup nazism going on that embraces people like eric but deletes me, then fuck all that shit. hell, the truth was never even told to you guys about the hitemup.com domain loss so at least you know why me and people like me are ghosts. some people around here (that's a plural, folks) really need to check themselves and get checked.
i can be found at mrmak if it's all that.
