Hey guys just dropped by to say hi to all of you. It's been a while since I came to the site without it being an accidental click on my favorites so sorry for that. I hope everyone is doing good and that you guys are still doing your best to keep the game alive. (I think you are cause I am seeing some new names here and that makes me happy.) While I no longer have the time to play Vs. online (even less of a chance to play it real life) I still love this game and I miss it and you guys a ton. You were part of my life for a very long time and I made some very good friendships here like: KK, Jason, Cliff, Dwarf, Niniendo and well you all know who you are and while you deserve individual mention I won't continue just in case I forget someone. Anyways, I thought I give you guys an update of my life and let you know that despite some of you wishing I was, I haven't been killed yet. (Perhaps a bit rude but you can't teach a Trooper new tricks.) Well here goes: While I never did get married I did move in with my long time GF. We still don't have everything in the house the way we want it but I did manage to get my man cave and she got almost everything else she wanted. Things are going great living with her and I wonder now why I waited so long, even more I wonder why I don't just get married but I got a surprise for her on November 2nd (her BDay) so hopefully that mistake will be corrected soon enough. My Coffee Shop is still taking over my life but I enjoy the heck out of it and when you work with long time friends that are like family it really isn't work, even if I do put in over 60 hours a week on it. Like a few of you know I added TCG's to my shop and I am selling: Yugioh, Pokemon, Naruto and MTG which I am playing again (not as competitively as I used to but yeah I'm playing). I have met a few Vs fans through my shop but none that want to play the game again after selling their cards. Still its fun talking with them about decks and strategies we used, and some even knew me from my articles over at TCG Player which was sort of weird and fun at the same time. None of them guessed dear old Shadowtrooper was really from Puerto Rico, LOL!! I won't take much of your time but I would like to thank those that bought some of my cards when I started selling them. The money really helped me get some things finished on my shop and also helped in turning a house into a home. For those of you who PM'd me some wants I have some cards left but I have them in boxes from the move, so if I ever get to organize it I will create another sell thread. I leave you now with best of wishes for your future and the gratitude of putting up with me for all these years. You guys are like my cyber card flipping family and I love you guys for everything you have been in my life. Hope to be able to come more often and say hi, but until then, take care. |

The notorious Shadowtrooper! You are like Indiana Jones crossed with Albert Einstein, which equels awesomeness beyond infinity twice. It's a pleasure to post in your thread.

Finaly I have someone to blame again. If you can make the 2 year mark living with someone you're through the bulk of it, and if you've been completely honest with each other well ok mostly honest I mean realy how am I supposed to answere that question without getting into trouble, marridge is pretty cool. Coffee huh well I guess that explains some of it. |

If I may ask... where is this coffee/TCG shop? (I always like hearing about people who open up their own business... especially if it's retail) |

Ahh kariggi you always end up getting a smile from me. Hope Maid and the rest of the family is doing good. Hey Erik, the shop is located in my home town of Aguada, Puerto Rico. It is right smack in the middle of the town square. I am in the process of renewing a facebook page so when it is done I'll be sure to send you a link. Dominator I doubt I am a cross between Indy and Einstein but thanks a ton for the compliment. Niniendo I have to hit you up on MSN and talk for a while. Where you referring to the UFC fan set? |

Yay for live-in relationships, they rule :). I have played less, but I forum lurk/comment a lot, you should still stay active in the community :). If we take a trip to Puerto Rico, can you give us a place to crash? Seriously, we have some free tickets, and that was one of the potential destinations... free room would probably cement it :). |
