Is anyone having a problem with embedded videos? I can't seem to get them to play at all.

Thanks

hi todd gimmie a kiss

Hah, how've you been man?

Very busy. My company has let about half of their workforce go and I am the only one left in the IT dept now. The stresses of taking care of everything actually took a small toll on me recently. I was at a Notre Dame game and wasn't feeling well and I lost control of my balance and orientation. I made my way to the first aid room where they said that I had vertigo which is an inner ear balance problem. But worse than that they took my blood pressure and it was 230/160 so about 1 minute later I'm getting strapped down to a cart, and getting loaded in an ambulance to rush me to the hospital. Dr. said my head could have just popped with my BP being that high. Kind of changed my outlook on life and help me to understand I'm not superman and don't have to do everything in one day. I'm on meds for life now and they have it stable.

How is everything around here?

Things have been good. We're kind of in limbo right now as far as competition goes. I'm a month away from being a dad again. As for you, I'm glad everything is going ok with you now. High bp can be pretty scary. My family has a history of it, luckily I've been able to manage mine so far without medication although the stress and bullshit of this remodeling is about to put me over the edge heh.

Outside of that man, everything is pretty much the same. We have a hosting agreement with IU here in Bloomington so we're getting free hosting for the server. We made CAL-IM in CoD 4 this season but had to drop due to everyone's lives getting super crazy with family, kids, and college. We won the TF2 tourney at this last MML and finished 2nd in the CoD 4 tourney there. We just came from the IU lan this weekend and we made it to the semis in TF2 here.

Since we're in this competition lull we're trying to get more active on IRC again. You should swing by if you get some free time.

That's good to hear. Life just got unbelievably hectic for me this year, and quite honestly I had no idea how to react to anything. It seemed like it was bad news day after bad news day and I couldn't take it.

Congrats on the kid whiz I always knew you'd slip another through the goalie.

Not sure if you know or not, but Greg is planning on getting engaged this coming spring. I keep trying to get him to buy a ring now and propose.

ZOMG, I miss you Todd. We need to hit up a Colts game this year! I live in Auburn Indiana now. Hop on Vent and play some gamez.

yeah - sorry about leaving you guys in the dust and being rude to many of you... I hope you understand it was not me, but actually those health concerns leading up to my collapse that was taking over. I know sorry just doesn't cut it sometimes, and I'm sure some of you are still offended and have a dislike for me - and that's ok.

You could have gotten colts / pats tickets 2 weeks ago for $50-60. 2 days before the game the pats fans returned like 10,000 tickets. Stubhub was flooded with them for cheap. I was leaving for Arizona the day after that or I would have gone.

I was there.....great game!
