As I read the comments of someone who is clearly well-educated, clearly well-spoken, clearly passionate and positive about life, what saddens me the most is that you have chosen to spend what undoubtedly amounts to a large portion of that life engaged in a fantasy.

I am a huge gamer, I am creative and have a fantastic imagination, so its realtively easy for me to keep an open mind about things, or even be influenced from reading fiction. I also read alot. Including here (half the time im just here lurking/reading threads). I dig it, man. The Dude Abides. I'm happy in fantasy, it rocks (like Pantera). you can keep your abundance of your reality, we just walk different paths.
