Extra Life
CountingConflict | 12:09 AM on 10.17.2009 21 comments


Hey guys,

I know that I have had some pretty large displays of belligerence and outrageous behavior on this site, but lemme take a moment to be serious. Our second son, Trevor, was born August 19th, 2009. He was 3 months premature. Multiple doctors gave him less than a 10 percent chance to live.

Immediately after he was born, Trevor and I were life-flighted to Texas Children's Hospital in an attempt to stabilize his serious condition. Two months later, my son is in great condition at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit up at TCH. I cannot explain the level of appreciation and gratitude that I have for the doctors and nurses at this great hospital.

However, I am indebted to them a much greater price than gratitude alone. I may not be able to donate much to Extra Life tomorrow, but I encourage all of you to support this as much as humanly possible. If it weren't for the level of care and support that Texas Children's has given Trevor and our family, he wouldn't be around to appreciate all the great things that life has to offer.

Thanks Niero, Rey, Collete, and Sterling. Additionaly, thank you community for the level of support that you showed last year (and hopefully, this year).




Here is a picture of Jennifer and Trevor from about a month ago. He's grown quite a bit since then. You can check out his progress at this site.

Alex is dead?!? Seriously?!?!
CountingConflict | 7:14 AM on 03.27.2009 26 comments




Alex is dead!?? Are you kidding me? Have we all become sheep or lemmings? I really don’t have to type all the cliché phrases regarding this new, childish “fad” that means absolutely nothing. If this had some sort of meaning or purpose to actually warrant it a quality blog post, I’d shut up, but this?! Are you fucking kidding me?

I understand it may seem like fun, and you may consider me shitting on your parade, but these posts have no substance and are only pushing down the blog posts that people took more than five minutes to type. I know this won’t change shit, but had I not caught this earlier I would have been very irritated to scroll through this mindless banter that does not amuse anyone, but the people spamming the cblogs with it.

I found it quite funny how someone told me that the forums are now better than the cblogs because the cblogs have turned into shit. Well, I think they were right.

If any of you have any sense you won’t participate it this idiocy…


DERP A DUR..... MEMES!??! MOAR LIEK LAMES!!! AMIRITE!?!?!?!
