The following was sent to me from a person I had considered my very best friend, and even though we have never met 'for real' I am still greatly saddened by it.
I would like to state that my lack of a sufficient social-life, one where I make an abundance of 'real' friends, does, in no-way, embarrass me.

THIS IS A MESSAGE TO ALL ONLINE FRIENDS NOT JUST YOU

Hey, I am not going to sign on anymore. I am really just tired of everything; The Games, the Messageing, the Forums, the Internet; just everything I have been doing. In the end its all worthless, time wasted. Dont think I am uber depressed or something either, cause I am not, I just should be doing more with my life than just this.

I apologize to anyone that might miss me and stuff, but its just the internet right? I mean you probably wont ever meet anyone you talk to, or join some awesome Halo 3 pro MLG team, or become the best on your WoW server, or actually impress people with computer knowledge, or even find friends that you will care about in the end.

It is all just some big joke that we all play along with to keep us going, and I only realized now that I got too attached to this meaningless crap. I am going to start a new life, so get over it, I know you will anyways cause its just a game and you dont know me.

Well I am off to start over, thinking about reading some books, maybe even writing myself. Going to get another job and stick with it and try my best. I will probably only be playing on XBOX live from now on and when I do I will Appear Offline, cause I just want to relax.
Robert sent 8/28/2008 2:50 AM:
I hope you all do something with your life too, you probably already have plans which is good, but I am just too attached to this crap and its bad. Good luck to you all! ^_^

Though I'd like to say that I've known Robert for decades, I saddly cannot. My friendship with him began about three years ago at a forum of like-interest between us. Though the site was dying so we tended to parry off-subject and talk about whatever we thought about at the time. Soon the forum died and we went to ims and emails. After the first year we had talked about everything from anime to real-life relationships. We found that we were very similar, in that we had the same morals and ethics. Though I always considered him much wiser than I would ever be.
He helped me with my school-work on many occasions and I talked with him whenever he needed to vent. We supported the other's good decisions and made each-other aware of the bad-points in questionable ones.
Whenever I had a question, I would usually ask Robert before anyone else. His words and decisions always had a kind and considerate logic, and he never thought rashly even when other's were severely against him.
I'm not really even sure how to put into words, his character, but I can say that I cannot say anything bad at all about him. He never at all gave me a reason to think badly of him.
I'm sorry that my words may not make allot of since, even though I put a sincere effort into these words, for my friend, but I will not apologize for letting these words leave my heart.
Robert, you were the best friend I'll ever have. I remember those talks we had about wanting to get away from all the stupid bullshit that the world is, but sadly you reached enlightenment before me. Though I wish you would come back to have one last talk with me, I hope you stay in your happy place. Forever.
Never felt more queer in my life. -76
