Hello reader. My name is Mishaal "tMK" Syed and this is going to be my first blog on Team Liquid, but the latter you already know,its the former that I want to tell you about as I spread my thoughts across these blog entries. First of all a brief introduction, I am a diamond league zerg player who was born in England but currently lives in Pakistan. I'm nearly done with my bachelors in business administration and this past year has been taxing. I lost my grandmother who i was very close to,she passed away in march of this year. She had suffered a stroke in 2006 and had not been the same way since. She was out of it, and a part of me always hoped she would get better but, another part of me knew that wouldn't happen. I lost her. Twice.

After dealing with her loss, I have recently lost someone else close to me, someone who i knew for nearly 3 years, who became special to me.

And to top all of this off my body has literally become a host to various parasites as of late. I recently found out I had been infected with ringworm. It sounds alot worse then it is and I will be going to the hospital today to get medication.

I'm just tired.

I recently Alienated my best friend. He's a good man and while I did apologize, he has kept his distance as of late.

Ever get the feeling that you need a vacation? Well guess what, and this tops it, I AM on vacation so this situation just makes me feel frustrated, tired, and in a depression.

I have not let the depression seep into my work and I promise you, the reader, that these emo self obsessed blogs will be VERY few and far between because right now,this very moment,i needed to just say my 2bits because the cruel fact of the matter is, if i tell anyone close to me, they will laugh,if i tell any of my acquaintances they will get awkward and feel as though I've dumped all my problems onto them(and rightly so). So am i still doing this? It's simple, 1) It helps to vent and get all your problems out there, 2) It's not doing something that is somewhat constructive(+1 typing skills pew pew), and 3) If you read through this whole thing then well, you don't know me personally so you have the option to walk away without any awkwardness, completely scott free.

And that ends the first blog post, this post was solely vent out whatever frustration i have and the next few posts will mainly be focused on the youtube and tournament streaming work i do as well as talking about Starcraft 2 in general.

Oh and if you have read through this whole post, thank you.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother and the recent unfortunate incidents. It's important to remember everything passes with time, stay strong bro. My only suggestion would be to find a way to vent the negative energy, exercise is my way of doing that, especially hitting the heavy bag Anyways hope things shape up - GL HF!
