I'm doing fantastic. Well I'm at least doing alright, which by my estimation is better than most. Seems like optimism is a rare commodity these days.

I've just been doing some thinking, reflecting, etc. and felt like writing out my thoughts here quickly. I used to come to this board a lot. Like every day. Multiple times a day, even. This place, the lasting community here, it offered me solace at a time I really needed it.

I can still recall being 14, just starting freshman year at a new high school. I had zero friends and felt totally out of place. But sometimes I would talk to Boko or greengravy on Aim for a bit, and that was cool for me. Thanks guys, that little bit of socialization did a lot for me.

I have fond memories of playing mafia around this time too. I was still new to the board, so a forum game that allowed anyone to play seemed like a fun way to get to know people. I wasn't very good as I lacked the attention span to dig through 11 forum threads of chit-chat in order to psychologically monopolize my opponents (you fucking nutjobs) but I still had fun. I blew it off, trolled, and replaced out of games a lot, sorry for that. Too many people to name, but I still carry fond memories, so thanks for being so inclusive.

I can also recall hopping into join.me servers back before Discord was a thing. Join.me, can you believe people used that shit? Looking back now, I can hardly believe how much time I spent doing gauntlets and stuff, it seems so foreign to me now. SanityLapse, JONALEON, GenesisSaga, vcharon, PrinceKaro, scarletspeed7, and surely far more people whose names currently escape me. Sorry for being such a brat 98% of the time I was like 15 haha. Thanks for the good times.

And I have tons of memories of B8 Discord. I had some really great times in there. I was a little older, more confident, I'd found myself a bit more. Lots of fun nights hanging out in the voice channels (#thesquad) or just discussing nonsense in the chat. I remember lots of hilarious conversations with Steiner, gravy, Shad, Tera, Bane, Digi, cyclo, and surely dozens more of you lovely people. The liberal hivemind Discord clique, as Ulti once put it. Thanks a ton for all the good times, and allowing me to get more comfortable being unashamedly me. Despite being older and more confident, I was possibly less mature than ever. I for some reason posted my own penis??? Must've been on one that night lmao. I definitely said things I regret on more than one occasion. Not just the offensive language, I can recall being legitimately nasty at times. I feel like I bullied some people to an extent. Not like legit harassment, but I was certainly meaner than I should've been at times to people like JDTAY, Zyxxyz (is that your name?), ApplekidRose, and greengravy to name a few I can remember. If any of you are reading this, I'm sorry for being a dickhead.

This is getting kind of long-winded. Truth be told, this was originally gonna be my bi-annual "YOU MUST PREPARE FOR THE COLLAPSE OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM BY PURCHASING PRECIOUS METALS AND DIGITAL ASSETS COMPLIANT WITH THE ISO20022 INTERNATIONAL BANKING STANDARDS FOR PAYMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: $XRP, $IOTA, $XDC, $ALGO, AND $XLM", but then I though nah that's kind of cringe and no one really cares anyway.

So I decided to make a strolling down memory lane/thank you topic instead. I've been trying to show gratitude and appreciation more, they say it's one of the highest vibrations. I've also been apologizing a lot, it's good for the soul if you really mean it. The trick is to let the thank yous outnumber the I'm sorrys.

Thank you, Board 8.

Love, Brohan

Im doing good, no serious complaints. I remember playing Smash with you several times. I play Melee pretty much every day, so I guess some things stay the same. I hope youre doing well.

darkx! If i wasnt writing stream-of-consciousness surely I wouldve remembered a mainstay of my gauntlet era. I hope youre doing good man; its a lonely world out there but youve got everything you need.

True.
I tried to Paypal you a couple months back off that milk thing. Paypal was being fucky idk if it actually went through or not. I hope youre alright man. I still miss the old days from time to time. I actually tried joining the Discord a while back (and again today) but I think Im IP banned or something idk.

Crypto tribalism is cringe. iirc youre an ADA guy. Which is cool, no qualms. Theres room for plenty of winners in this space. My rationale for investing in the tokens I do is that institutional money/use cases are what I think will drive price long-term. I elected to invest in ecosystems that work directly with established financial institutions, central banks, and payment providers. There isnt a company on Earth with more of these partnerships than Ripple. Id be happy to discuss this at length if you want, I think I can make a believer out of you.
Also youre trash at smash.

Hello.
Hey man. We havent directly spoken that many times but I always think of you as a legitimately nice person. A free spirit in that youre not weighed down by needless negativity. Or so Ive gleaned from sporadic forum posts over the course of a decade. God bless you.

Not doing too hot tbh

Trying to get my legal name change done and the judge just does not want to grant any requests to limit how public the record of the change is. I requested the publication requirement be waived so I didn't have to print it in the newspaper and the court records be impounded so no one but me and my lawyer could access it. Both were rejected because they demanded a "specific factual basis" i.e., someone that's already harassing me that I want to hide my identity from, rather than an increased risk of future discrimination. So that's a huge pain, and it's holding up my divorce agreement because we wrote that out using my new name and so can't file it until my name is actually changed.

Getting divorced is also not great, I mean it's the most amicable divorce I've ever heard of and I've mostly come to terms with it but I know the day it goes through and I'm actually not married anymore, I'm gonna be a wreck. And like then I have to start all over with dating? I haven't "dated" in over 20 years and never as a woman/in a lesbian relationship, I'll be 40 soon and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

So yeah not loving life these days.

Do I wince at the word metaverse? Sure, but money is money. Blockchain and NFTs arent going anywhere, might as well claim your stake of the system and make some $$$
