I have plans tommorrow with my family before i fly out for iraq in the early hours of the 16th, so i highly doubt i will be back on the board between now and then. I am not going out with a big bang, more of a little fizzle. I have stroked my ego a lot since becoming a member of this board and enjoyed it for a short period of time then i did the impossible, or what i thought was the impossible. I began to annoy myself. At this point i could set up a thread and just keep insulting myself until the cows come home, but i won't. That's it, and this isn't a joke like my fake retirment posts (which was a subtle dig at porn's idea of retiring), this is the real thing, smartt can celebrate, along with the other members who have dreamed of this day. I will now end this on a strange note in monkey fashion.

I get up in the evening
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
even if we're just dancing in the dark



The boss was right then and he is right now. The monkey era is over. (fade to black)

good song atleast Bruce springsteen's dancing in the dark.
I am sure no one will celebrate nor be saddend by your leaving....seeya

We all know that the Monkey will be back,since he's become too attached to this board like a meth addict.
Have fun in Iraq,Monkey.
