Remember Me?

I'm back from the unknown. For those of you who don't know who I am, I used to post here quite frequently some years ago. I went through a major financial hardship that prevented me from fixing my computer when it finally died one day. I was without access to the internet, or a computer for a good year. During that time I was out of work and I underwent a prolonged period of depression. I primarily lived off of the support of family members that were far too kind for their own good.

About a year ago I began using one of my relative's computer from time to time. It was then that I set up a new login here under the name of "Jack&Water". I have since posted occasionally. I decided against using my old name mainly because I was deeply ashamed for completely disappearing the way that I did. My life was extremely unstable during my absence and I just wasn't prepared to emerge from my self-imposed exile. I made a number of truly wonderful friends here and I simply can't go on lying by posting under an assumed name. The people that I was close to deserve better than that. I am truly sorry for causing any worry/concern too.

So there it is. I was a complete mess of a human being for a couple of years and I have only started to get my shit together in the past few months. I'm deeply regretful for the path I chose to tread on, but I am hopeful for the future. I'm in a good place right now. Hell, I even have a new computer. I hope that I'm able to reconnect with old friends, at least with the ones that will have me. I know some of this might sound like a load of bullshit, but I swear what I have said here is the truth. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Tony "teegee420" Gomez

Welcome Back, Hope you continue to improve your life......

holy crap

welcome back!

TeeGee ...

Man, you've been missed more than you know here and at convopit.org

Good to see you back and that all is OK. I don't post here much anymore, but I couldn't help but post in your glorious return thread!!! 8)

You ever worry us like that again, and I will find you and kick your ass!!!

OMG. We thought you had kicked the bucket

Welcome back!

BTW your sig field is missing a certain animated gif

Welcome Back!

Welcome back!
I remember reading some of your posts, a long time ago. Nice to see your back and OK.
Nice to see those pictures too, Supreme2k.

Welcome back!

Don't feel bad. I had the exact same thing happen to me pretty much when I was 23.
Lost my job,I had to sell my PC for rent money, ended up moving home and even on anti depressants for a short time.

Shit happens, life gets better. Welcome back.

After staying out of OT for over a year and a half, only this has made me post here again. Welcome back. I'm glad things are looking better for you. I look forward to seeing your posts here and elsewhere in the future.

Many thanks, eveyone, for the well wishes and welcomes.

I think we've all had similar bouts to one extreme or another and times we're not too proud of. Happy things are better for you and good to see you on line again.

Holy Crap! Yeah, how could I forget that old avatar (the one in the class reunion pic listed above.)

Glad to see things are turning around for you. I went through a bat of depression a few years ago, however in that time my internet posting increased as I only had that and drinking to occupy my time.

Wow, he arose from the dead. Welcome back.

glad to see you back---i also misss that avatar....and i also miss my original member name, but again--WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!

Apparently I'm not granted "special access". What were you getting at, Supreme?

You're not kidding, dude, and thanks. It seems the world of digital video has moved on without me. I'm having to re-learn this stuff all over again.
