So, you've got your every day kinda stress. Your boss, your girlfriend, your girlfriends mom feeding her a bunch of rubbish arguments you knew she wasn't smart enough to think of herself.

Then you've got your unordinary stress. Your health problems, your joblosses, your family deaths.

And then you have that rarest of problems. The WTF I am on the news problem. The wtf, why do TV talk shows wish to speak to me problem, and broadcast the intimate details of my life to thousands of people.

You may ask why this problem deserves it's own catagory? Well that's because it completely disables you from sucessfully playing Starcraft. Yes, even a 4 gate is impossible. This kind of problem is so dramatic and so all consumming in it's shitiness that it even prevents successful 4 gating. Yes, I can not even sucessfully 4 gate a Platinum level Zerg.

Because there is nothing so disheartening as having your life summerized in a 60 second news bite in the most entertaining fashion possible.

There's no way for stuff like this to end happily. But one day I hope to resume 4 gating, and making Zergs QQ because I killed them with a stupidly simple timing push.

Until then I'll probably end up on some really redneck TV talk shows. I should get myself a teamliquid shirt to wear, or at least something from the hansome nerd. If you're onnational media, you should at least educate, and I was born to fast expand.

Srsly wtf.

I was assuming one of the kids.. Considering it would be strange for the father to be even worried about 4 gate issues at this point.

As I have not spoken to him in fifteen years I cannot convey my fathers opinion on the 4gate, if in fact he does have one. I just made this post because I've been amused by the shity media coverage of my life, and the impending even shitier media coverage, and wanted to provide a unique Day9nian perspective on the issue.

I don't really want to go into any details here, for obvious reasons, other than silliness. I seriously may regret this post in the morning, though it is kinda liberating.

Agreed, this isn't a sympathy blog.

It's about how awesome a counter this is to the 4 gate.

LOL. I like how you're able to joke about this situation with allusions to 4gate and whatshitnot.

Unlike you however I feel that my life is a bit bland right now... so I'm going to check up on this blog quite often.

So I will admit I can't identify with this at all. But It sure doesn't seem like the end of the world. Maybe annoying, but not the end of the world.

(in regards to talk shows and hsit. I don't know how you feel about your mom or what would happen to her)

At least your hair is pretty crazy. Crazy awesome.

You really think you could forbid your sister to go on TV? Wonder how that would go over, lol. And there's nothing wrong with saying that she's hot. It's not like I'm going to jerk off to her.+ Show Spoiler +
Not again, anyways + Show Spoiler +
nah jk


Also I hope your mom doesn't get extradited... I can't see how that would do anyone any good. But I also hope you guys will at least meet up with your biological father at some point. Can you imagine having all three of your children suddenly disappear from your life?

Also also, I recommend finding someone to start a new 2s team with and smash your placement matches.

Your dad is being kind of a douche here. I can understand him wanting to see you and all, but to start a pain in the ass legal process to do so

Best of luck man. Thanks for sharing this to the community, I know it must be hard to put up with this...

I sincerely hope you guys can manage to solve the situation and get to know your dad. Must've been hard for both him and your mom :S.

Again, best of luck... supporting from CR.

Then just 2 gate proxy to counter rl. It is a universally known rule that anything that counters 4 gate gets countered by 2 gate proxy inbase. So uh, you've already found your dads base...
I suggest you find a way to construct gateways
also your sister is delicious. please make a note of it.

What the hell kind of reasoning could you have for the dad being a douche? The mother literally kidnapped the kids and has been wanted by the fbi for over a decade...do you have any common sense?

Hope the case goes without any hitches, for either party. It will be interesting to hear any updates on the case.
