Time has come to say goodbye to all of you guys and girls who have put up with my bullshit and twisted logic over the last few months.From a life in turmoil when I first started posting I must thank all who have listened and tried to advise me on the forum and in the chatroom.A special thanks to Hal,Magicman,Doom,Paws and of course the now forgotten Westside who's advice I found comforting when I was looking for a new direction.I have walked away from my old life and begin in pastures new many miles away from here doing something that will give me the adrenaline rush that I crave just to prove to myself that I am alive.No, I'm not joining those brave US marines in the hell torn streets of Bagdad, though it would be my first choice if I was 20 yrs younger, I am going to be doing something that I always wanted to do.I have secured a position on a deep sea fishing trawler and will be putting out to sea in the next week or so.I expect to be gone for 3 months with a decent payday when I come back.In the words of Bruce Springsteen " life is to be thrived, not merly survived " and that is what alot of us do.I may come back to EI in the new year and tell ye all of my adventures, and then again I may not.I don't know how I'll feel then.How did this all come about you might say.Well, I was watching "Deadliest Catch" on one of the Sky channels over the summer and it finally hit me, I said I want to try that.Oh btw I nearly forgot to say goodbye to Anna who I wish the very best in the future.Though I said we would never meet, I am sure you all know that I would love to have met her.I leave you with one thought

" and not by eastern windows only, when daylight comes,
comes in the light.
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,
but westward look the land is bright "

Cheers Damron.
