I'm Back

Ninja D! · July 04, 2006, 12:38:03 AM

Sorry that I was away for as long as I was. Sometimes, as I'm sure you all know, real life just gets in the way.

I went through a lot and I am probably a little different from how I was, so I will be looking at my setting with fresh eyes now that I have come back to the game.

In the three months or so I have been gone, I lost the job that I had for four years, got dumped by my girlfriend of two years, the dog I had for about fourteen years died (and all of that was within the same two weeks), got a new job, lost that job, and got a new girlfriend. That's not even everything. So, as I said, I am sorry I was gone so long, but it has to happen sometimes.

I hope I will be welcomed back as warmly as I was welcomed so long ago when I first joined this wonderful community. Until I post again,

Peace, love, and game on!;

life happens, no biggie.

i was gone for awhile due to a virus....

I actually just cleaned my computer up, too.

Oh yeah, in the time I was gone, I also got a new computer. It's a Dell XPS 600.

From your post it sounds like you have the makings of a country song(if it is too soon to be making jokes like this, I apologize and will delete it at your request), bur in all seriousness Welcome back! You must have left before I joined, but everyone here gets a warm welcome back. For your complimentary cabbage you'll have to see Cymro.

It's not too soon to make jokes like that. Actually, making jokes all along kept me sane. And I may be starting a country band, amusingly enough. It's far from my favorite genre, but my neighbor sings it well and I miss playing with a band.

SDragon · July 04, 2006, 12:58:13 AM

what instrument do you play?

Ninja D! · July 04, 2006, 01:07:52 AM

I mainly play bass. I'm not a stranger to guitar, but I'm not good with it at all (then again, I'm not great with the bass, either...) and I've worked with a variety of instruments and sound equipment. Also, I am currently working on a rap project...for more about that click here.

Glad you retain a positive attitude. Welcome back!

What's up, fellow bass player and amateur rapper? :)

Sorry to hear about the trials and tribulations you've endured, but I'm glad you've remained sanguine about them. Also glad you're back. Still don't know what you think you're apologizing for; we're just glad to welcome an old member back into the fold.

Da bass! I admire people who play the bass. I'm experienced with it but don't have one of my own, and it's always been one of my favorite instruments to listen to :)

Welcome back.

Ninja D! · July 04, 2006, 01:15:42 PM

I'm glad to be back. I really enjoy the bass. In a band it is something that you can't always hear well enough to pick it out from the group, but if you take it away the music sounds hollow, like it has no soul.

Hibou · July 04, 2006, 01:34:08 PM

Yeah, it's easier to pick it out if you're an experienced musician, I find. There are also a lot of bands that have it turned down too low. Myself, I like bands like The Scorpions where the bass is clearly audible amongst the guitars, drums, and vocals :)

my[/i] excuse for being scarce around these boards from March through May: I was out student teaching.

Hibou · July 04, 2006, 02:39:18 PM

QuoteI have a degree in music education, with the bass as my primary. Does that count?

Aye, though I think that might be more along the lines of professional musician. I always wondered what you played. Do you deal with electric and acoustic basses more, or are you a standup/cello type person?
