Such is life. . .

[Typhy]

As those of you who talk to me on GR frequently know, my life has gone to shit over the past few months.

At the moment, I'm in an absolutely fantastic situation: I've got tons of debts to pay off, I lost both my jobs, so I have no income, I had a relationship fall on it's ass, I've got about. . . What'd we say? Snipe? 1,500 hours? Something like that, of work that needs to be done just to graduatate High School. . . . There's a lot more than that, those are just a few notable things.

There's a nice quote form Seinfeld:

Kramer: You got money?
George: No.
Kramer: You got a job?
George: No.
Kramer: You got a woman?
George: No.
Kramer: You got any prospects?
George: No.
Kramer: Have you got any reason even to get up in the morning?
George: I like to read the paper. . .

That sums things up for me right now.

I have fucking unsupportive, and annoying as fuck, parents, who I still have to live with, since I don't have any fucking money anymore.

Anyway, yes, this is fucking going somewhere. I can't afford to pay my internet connection anymore, after this month, so I'll be on a shit connection that my parents have ( 256 down, 64 up, I believe ). At best, that'll be the only issue that  relates to you little fuckers at all. More likely, is the idea that I will have to sell this computer. In the event that I do ( in the next week or so ), it'll represent the end to a long run. 5 years with you bastards. From when I was 12 years old, until 17. Some great friends, some great memories.

I'm not going into that big "list of names" bullshit. There are hundereds of you who I'd like to thank, but I only have room for three.

Myst: Typhy and Myst were the true MP5. We won at RS, we won at RVS. But vastly more important than that is our friendship. Really, not a lot I can say for 5 years. . . It's beyond words.

Snipe: You're the best of the best. Even online, you're one of the best friends I'll ever have.

Maniac: You little fucker, someday, when things are better, I'm still going to come down to Texas and beat you to a pulp. I love ya'.

KoS & DR Clans: My goal, throughout RS, was to beat KoS. Regrettably, that goal went unfulfilled. You guys are an example of the best clan, "on and off the field", so to speak. You let your record speak for itself. You were confident, but not arrogant, and always a pleasure to play against. You were the best RS clan out there. DR - You were a true oponent. Classy, expeienced, and incredibly skilled. I don't care what anyone says about BoC, or any other clans, you're tops. You're responsible for making RVS fun.

There are 492 people on my buddy list. Many that I haven't even seen in years, 492 people, 5 years. Tons of people, tons of memories, tons of stories, tons of experiences.

So, as I leave you guys tonight, and soon, forever, I want to leave you with some words.

No matter what situation you're in, no matter where you are, where you come from, or how other people act, always be yourself. Always stand up for your principles. Don't let someone be treated unfairly, because "it's none of my business". Always step forward, and always fight for what you believe in. Always hold true to your word. Your word is who you are. Do things for the right reasons, and for the common good, not for what you get out of it. You're the one person you have who you can always rely on. If you ever meet someone you can trust as much as you trust yourself, don't let them slip away for anything, because this is the best friend you'll ever have.

So, in closing. . . Friends, enemies, acquaintences, whoever the hell you are. . . I thank you for the past 5 years.

Tomorrow I'll add on a picture of myself, then call it a career.

- MP5 Typhy, aka, Forrest Clough.

OMG...your name is Forrest?  First things first....change your name, man!

But on to your post...great post Typhy, hope it all works out for you.  Why don't you just go live with my sister in Anchorage...she has high-speed internet!  But anyhow, I still have wonderful memories of trying to pay off Evill to permaban you on GR...but he wouldn't do it for less than the price of a new car!  Oh, for a while it was ALMOST worth it.  But then, damnit, I got to talking to you and decided to bury the hatchet (not in your head, where at one time I wanted to bury it).  I even made nice with Voodoo!  God, I hate it when enemies become friends.  lol

Good luck man, see you around.

-GhostSniper Out.

[spike]

Good luck man, you've been a bitch of an enemy in both RvS and RS. I hope things work out for yah, so you can return to our little corner of the 'net.

[BTs_Mysterio]

I doubt this is the last we will see of Typhy. I suppose you said there is 'til the end of this month, so perhaps we should try to work something out for you Typhy. Unless you don't like reading tech related news and reposting it on a site. Reviews have always been your thing. Anyway, we should talk on GR or iChat.

I guess now you have reason to sell off Powerbook.... perhaps buy one of them $899 refurb iBooks... or maybe just stick to eBay... We'll see.

[Supernatural Pie]

Typhy, as beautiful as that was, you forget a couple things:

1. I know your iChat screen name.

2. I know several of your email addresses.

3. I know where you live.

4. I know your cell phone number.

5. At some point in time I knew your house phone number, and could probably find it again if I wanted to.

6. I know where you want to go to college.

You see... you couldn't escape me if you tried. So while it may be a good bye for everyone else, this just doesn't count as one for me and you. 


And btw... Thanks for being there for the last three years. (Technically four, but we kinda hated each other that first year.)

Yes, GS, if you can believe it, me and Typhy used to hate each other with burning passion, also. (And remember all those fun times where I offered to kill Typhy if you would buy me premium? Of course, that was before Typhy himself bought me premium. )

Too many memories to even start listing them. The good, the bad, the ugly.

So to sum it up: Thanks, but as far as I'm concerned, you're not going anywhere.

[spike]

out of curiosity, how much for the PB

[Typhy]

1.5GHZ Powerbook G4, 1.25GB RAM, 128MB ATI Radeon 9700. . . As much as I can possibly get for it.

[KoS.Rebel]

Well Typhy,

GL with life. Everyones gotta move on. Its been good fighting with u, then not fighting, then fighting again. Try not to let life get u down cause anything can change at any moment.

Oh yeah SHOW US UR PIC!

[bronto]

Me and capt already saw Typhy's picture because we googled his name a year or two ago, it was in a newspaper article. I won't post it though because it's probably embarassing for him . We've all been in the local papers for one thing or another though, I was in it about 4 years ago for some ecology thing and it was a picture of me at the beach rubbing my nipples and throwing my head back. I don't know why they published that. And also in it a couple times for criminal reports haha.

[*DAMN Hazard]

Too many memories to say I just hope everything works out. If you ever need anything hit me up on AIM.

gg's typhy, gg's

[dr.blake.]

As my good friend and clanmate, Autriche once said, "There are plenty of good players here, and there are a fair amount of excellent players, but there are only a handful of winners." Typhy is one of those winners.

Probably the most "aggressive killer" in RS... and almost as good as me in RvS... *cough* Typh may not have been the most liked player of all time, but anyone who has known him for as long as i have can't stay mad at him. Not only can the kid play but I'm sure we've all soaked up some of his punctuation potent comments on everything from a TK to politics. I've always enjoyed talking to Typh... and always loved playing against him, unfortunately combining the two makes you want to slap him around at times.

Anyway, my rides almost here so i gotta finish this up...

Go Sox, ggs bro... Peas.

[Maniac]

Three years ago was the start of a wonderful things which brings a smile to my face every time i think about them. Over the years i have made great friendships with people i know better than most with out even seeing their face. Typhy you are the only one that i consider a real friend on Game-Ranger, you and i have been through the best and the worst. We know all sorts of things about each other from just have causal conversations and deep ones over the years. Thank you so much for being there for me bud when i needed it. You have always helped me, and cheered me up when i was having problems. All i can say is you are one of a kind man, and i love you just as much as all my other close friends. If anything ever happens call me i'll be on a flight to Alaska the next day. I'll be seeing you someday, so you can kick my sorry ass. Once again love you dude and i wish you nothing but the best of things.

[Typhy]

Haha, alright. Not my best picture by any means. Took it while sitting in a chair talking to Maniac.

The thumbs up is for you bastards.

thanks yo, much love. always a pleasure. gl in life.

Ahh, I forgot to say goodbye to one of my favorite people on GR. Whether it was taking a beating from you in game, getting flamed about GhR, or more recently chatting about alcohol from day to day, it's been fun man. I hope you find yourself a new job and all that, get yourself back online soon. You know where to come if you do, I'm sure you will find a way.

[bronto]

ok, typhy you need to stop looking almost exactly like me . except i don't have dimples and my eyes are red

[Supernatural Pie]

Hahaha Typhy, you weren't kidding. You really don't look like Harry Potter anymore.

[bronto]

he's all growed up

[Supernatural Pie]

When I first made the "Typhy Potter" photoshop while I was in AgT, Typhy was... well... pissed, to put it lightly.

What made it even worse later on was that he always claimed he didn't look like that anymore, yet I was convincing people he does.

So, without further adieu, I give you: "Typhy Potter? 2005 Revision"

[kos_ultimo]

haha
