You Don't Know Jack- Adventures at Blizzcon 2013 Part 1

A Near Miss

The last two days have been an explosion of Blizzcon stories on Twitter.  Aside from enjoying all the different tales of who met whom, this has resulted in an intense desire to share my thoughts.  Lucky for all of us, I have this blog thing!

Pressing Pause

What follows is my raider resignation post from the Apotheosis forums. I wanted to share it here because not everybody can read the guild content. 

Apotheosis friends,

 

I don’t want to make this a big dramatic thing, because it’s not one; I’ve chosen to step down from raiding for the foreseeable future.  I still enjoy the game and I love the group of people I play with.  Life just has a funny way of asserting its self and lately I’ve found myself wishing I had more time to do things other than Warcraft.  I’ve been trying to focus on my fitness, my home, and my friendships lately and it feels good.

I don’t know how long I’m going to be out, but I’ll be around here and there.  My life’s priorities are shifting and there are only so many hours in the day.  This decision comes with a heavy heart, but it’s something I have thought on for long enough and I know it’s the right choice.

To the officers: if you need a DPS on any given raid night, feel free to ping me on Twitter.  If I’m available, I will always be happy to hulk-smash things for you.  If you have questions about anything pertaining to my resignation, please contact me.  Like I said, I’ll be around so this isn’t a goodbye post.

 

-Colin (Jack)

Progression

I decided to do a counter-post to a blog entry Jasyla, my guild's GM, posted yesterday.   The purpose of this isn't to attack her or point out how she’s wrong or anything negative like that.  What I hope to do with this is to get myself involved in the discussion in a constructive way.
