New year thoughts and musings
12 years ago
General
2013 has come and gone and with it a little more sanity, but a little more wisdom so it all evens out or so I hope.
Sadly a few more furs have me on the naughty list for being a chaircritter. Seems just saying no or turning down demands leads to lifelong hates and behind the back mutterings which really sucks. I can fully appreciate the hell folks like Belic and GirTygrin have gone through when they had to close shop. Got to say it is never easy running a convention and some of the venom folks unleashed was stunning to behold much less the rather stupid comments of *oh i can do better/oh if they had given it to me to run* nonsense. Never underestimate the power of hate it seems, but thankfully a lot of folks are still helping out so one can hope new cons rise from the ashes.
Health stayed generally the same, a few incidents but nothing major thank goodness so I can hope 2014 will be just as good. need to work out some as I have put on a few pounds and Shane is a nag so I will hope to start hitting the little gym at the apartment. Slow and steady and shed that freshmen 15 I hope is my resolution. Got new glasses and that is a big help for my growing vision issues but age always gets it's due.
Friends are in semi decent shape now that the one is out of hospital and recovering from heart attack. Stress, age, poor eating, and divorce makes for a hell of a mess to live through and it all caught up to him. Hope to make it to a few more game cons with him and other old friends that have grown distant over time, and space. Sadly I am never been a good furson to keep and manage friendships, and con work just seems to make me a few new enemies rather then friends but if i wanted to be a popufur I sure would be doing things different. I can just hope with time folks will understand why things happened and strengthen my bond with my nearby friends.
Hope folks will enjoy this years Furnal Equinox and help support local furcons. remember folks we got all of 8 of them so support them as best you can. Losing 2 big and good! American cons was bad enough. Well wishes to Belic and Gir and a open invite to talk shop anytime ;).
Gaia bless one and all

But i can not lie and say that i did not appreciate the corruption, arrogance, one-sidedness, favouritisim, and ignorance of some of the others involved in your "staff" at that con, I only get thrown under-the-bus ONCE, before which i can not support, nor will i ever again, until some & certain heads no longer exist on that staff, and some changes are made.
Not only myself, but many, many others feel the same, along with the lingering question why there are supposedly "two" chairpersons.
I hope things are better for you personally in 2014. *hugs*

I can but hope in time folks will understand how much work and stress goes into hosting a convention and savor the ones they got here. last thing we need is a conplosion and be back to just say feral! and one of the vancoufur cons. That would be right suck ;/.
As for us I hope we are still on friendly terms but i will understand if things are not at all well between us. All part of the job I signed up for, and all i can do is apologize for some things, work on others, and keep my chin up to keep the good times going conwise. I am always open to chat anytime if you or others want to talk so feel free to drop me a line anytime.
Gaia bless
