So some of you may know, most of you probably dont, and some of you may not even care but I feel that I should provide a better explination to where I have been, Where I am at now, and What I foresee with the future.

Where I have been

I have been lucky enough to get a job, a co-op while I have been finishing up my school with a local software development firm. If anyone knows anything about software development, work is intense and on a time schedule. I have spent time on the road traveling to meetings, and such, 80 hours a week trying to stand up a system from scratch in a matter of days, etc etc.

With all this time devoted to work, I have also had to do some school things as well as I finish that. I have had very little time to do much of anything, as well as attend to personal matters and relationships that have far extended the scope of secondlife, forcing SL to take a much.. much lower priority.

Along with this, SL as a whole had recently left a stale bad taste in my mouth, not due to anyone actions or events that could have happened, but the entire expereince was to be honest, no longer fun. The hours at the computer receiving little to know gratification out of what I was doing.. it was time for a break a needed rest mentally, as well as get my other life in order, and be much more producitive with my life.

Where I am now

While I am still dealing with things on my plate, there as now opened up a need for me to try to start to get back involved in SL. There are people there that I do care about as to what happens, and I have left many friends behind sadly due to my abense and for that I only ask for your understanding, and perhaps forgiveness.

I had not followed as diligently as I should perhaps the changes that were being inject into CD as a leader, while I was always approachable and would have done anything asked to me, I did not give that sense of belonging or desire to belong that I had once been so very evident, both to the community as a whole, as well as the leadership roles I have been and hope to continue to be a part of.

This community as a whole and its leaders have been there through me thick and thin, given me a place to call home when I had none, as well as placed some of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. I only hope I have offered a piece of the same to someone else, and frankly its time to come home again.

Where I am going

So I am here on the sidelines starting to slowly inject myself back in to RP, I am not starting fresh i am the same Lars that was here years ago, same story, same face, role to be determined via RP. I am here to help if it is asked of me, and I only hope to continue to be a productive member.

I hope that you accept me back as well as my opinions, and general outspoken nature of things. I have not changed as a person, and I am still very much who I once was. I only hope that I get a second chance, and I do enjoy forming new bonds and stories, however big or small they may be.

I dont want anyone to feel obligated towards me, because I am coming back or try to fit me in, I will find my place and I only ask you treat me as any other RPer. I ask for no special treatment. That is something that I wanted to make clear, I know that there is alot that has gone on and I have been out of the loop for a while, I look forward to getting back in and caught up.

Thank, as a player, as a community member
