A homecoming... and a goodbye

Postby Bill Russell on Sat Feb 18, 2006 5:45 am

Hi all. Nice to see the NLSC doing well. I used to visit this site on a daily basis, 1 or 2 years ago, and it's always good to see that some people from that time are still alive and, well, posting and contributing to the site and the community.

I got NBA Live 2006, played it for one week, didn't like it and uninstalled it without thinking twice. I remembered to visit this site today to get Andrew's new roster patch for my sister's boyfriend, a 15-year-old cunt who plays video games but didn't even know it was possible to exist patches who update games. There it is, the NLSC fanbase, growing and growing. :wink:

I lived in Canada (Toronto)last year, and I came back last week to Brazil. It's a really different country compared to Brazil. The weather and the people are the major differences. I was very fortunate to attend NBA games too... it's an out-of-this world experience, one of the major dreams I had as a child was finally fullfilled. (BTW, pics here, for those interested: one and two). I was there working and studying, got a bit of money and now I am studying marketing as a masters (post-graduation course, I don't know if it's written correctly), and searching for a new, better job here in Brazil. College party-fun days are long gone, for those who remember talking to me on MSN, many months ago. So, this is what happened on my life the past year and a half.

I found it funny to see people posting about me. So, I watermarked pictures of women I sent to everybody? Yeah... too bad those pictures were from sites which covered parties and the nightlife in the same city I studied while in college. Of course they are watermarked, I didn't have a digital camera at that time, and if I did, I wouldn't go out and take pictures of people in the middle of a party. I'd leave that to those professional photographers... so I could save those pictures in my computer after a few days. For anyone concerned, if you have an account on Orkut, try to find me there. Search through my network of friends there. Many people there appeared on those pictures. All of them are actually my friends. Too bad I came here to download a patch, decided to search for my name on the forums and, next thing I see, people commenting on my "watermarking pictures" skills, haha.

The NLSC used to be a pretty good place for me, and I'm almost sure it's still well-maintained and working on excellent levels. The thing is, I moved to another things in life, and something's got to give.

For all those who were in touch with me during all those 3 (4?) years, here's my sincere greetings, and my apologies to whatever harm I may have done to you.

Later and take care. (Y)

nice pics, although it must feel kind of odd seeing the game with the logo upside down.

Anyways, nice of you to drop by. Good luck with your post graduate studies and be sure to drop by every once in a while.

Good to hear from you Tales. Canada is awesome, you got to get out to Vancouver.

Damn Jae, can I have Elisha's number? She's so fine. (Albeit stupid in 24, then again, scorching hot in The Girl Nextdoor.)

Tales - Thanks for the history lessons, got me a bit on track (guess the whole Jackal persona is your fault)...kinda sad you went a "bit" power trippy in the last few months...but hey, here's an emotional message, from me, to you:

Good luck with life, bud. I hardly knew you, but the respect was always there. Thanks for dropping by instead of just bailing like other vets tend to do.
