Hello everyone, it has been a while since my last blog, and this one is going to have really no certain direction except BroodWar. Things have been really rough for me the last few months, as I lost one of my two restaurant jobs, and with family all split up it is hard to be happy around the holidays, when that is usually the time families are together. But at the same time I have been fortunate enough to have the best girlfriend I have ever had in my entire life, if it wasn't for her then I don't know where or what I would be doing really, she is what keeps me motivated. (Even if I don't get to see her as much during the winter time. )

But through positive affirmations and thinking positive, everything is starting to become better and better, I recently landed a new restaurant job at this Italian place, and boy is it fun. I am making a little less than what I was at the other place before I got fired, but the people are amazingly kind , nice and helping. There is 3 old ladies that speak fluent italian in the Kitchen, and it is a truly amazing language to hear. In a few weeks I will feel more financially stable again.

And with that comes the issue of getting my own internet ( it is really hard to be able to enjoy starcraft, when you are on someone elses wireless network T.T ) , it is really difficult to be able to be a consistent streamer when you don't have a stable internet connection, I was about to get my own and then I lost the second job, so I have been in a bind ever since, soon I am hoping to resolve this issue so I can stream more constantly for my viewers.

I recently hit 200+ followers on Twitch which I am extremely proud and happy about, I have been streaming since the SC2 WoL Beta and also stream a good bit of BW as well when I can. The only problem with me playing BW is my wrist, I feel like I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and I probably do, because after a few games of BW my right hand wrist (Used for mouse) really starts to cramp up, and it becomes harder to play / move as easily, can have some bad pains as well which make it difficult to play a lot of BW, which makes me sad because I enjoy it a lot more than SC2.

I have thought of some ways to resolve this issue, like maybe some sort of wrist band to put around my wrist ( I have like a calass right under my wrist, where my wrist rests on the mouse pad ) , I guess that is what happens after you play BW for 12+ years constantly. If anyone knows anyway to treat this or make it less of a situation, please let me know!

Some of you may remember my post in BW General forum : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=390087

It was a little thing I wrote because I love BroodWar, and this community. Although my psychic premonitions were a little off, I was predicting something beautiful would happen in 2013 for BW, but it wasn't another SSL, it was the T L S ! ( Team Liquid Legacy Star League , yeah they hosted there own BW League, it is time for a BW revival! )

I am sure after not playing BW for 2-3 years as seriously as I used to , that I will have an extremely difficult time qualifying for TLS, but boy will it be fun to play in regardless, and it is always beautiful to have another reason to pick yourself up and mass game in BW!

I have become bored with SC2 unfortunately, I can play a few games here and there but it just isn't the same anymore, I always dreamed of becoming a pro gamer, but is it really feasible to dream to become a pro gamer in a game that you don't really even enjoy? I don't think so really.

I have played close to around 15,000-20,000 games of SC2 WoL(Yes I have kept track) since the WoL beta , and almost 1,000 games of HOTS Beta , and it just gets really boring, I feel like the units they introduced into HOTS are too strong of "Area controllers " or "Siege units" whatever u want to call them, the widowmine, the swarmhost, and the tempest, they are way too hardcore of siege units, which I feel leads to stale gameplay, it gives a really large defenders advantage for each race, and leads to more passive than hyperactive gameplay. I am still hoping the best for HOTS, but will most likely be taking a break from it till it is released.

Recently some of you may have seen the thread I made in BW General forum about " Foreigners to Korean clansV2" (Foreigners to korean clan, fam , teams), which has been a huge success in just the short amount of time that it has ran, it has made me really overjoyed to be able to help so many foreigners into korean clans, fams, and even teams. The amount of support I have gotten on Fish by the Korean community is just unparalleled. Link below for more information.
( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=388253 )

Many may have experienced the "HOTB" or "Heart Of The Boring" Syndrome, my biggest personal let down is the ladder system, First season I played I was in GM, then got placed into Diamond, and then when I got on HOTS beta last night to play my placements, I saw that GrandMasters was already full on the first day, I know that it is a beta and the ladder shouldn't be taken so seriously.....but I enjoy laddering, that is my biggest motivation probably, and it is just a big let down to me to not be able to even attempt to get GM in HOTS Beta, since the ladder is broken and just lets anyone in who plays at the right time on the 1ST DAY of ladder.

I am going to close this blog by saying that I really love this community very much, and am happy to be a part of it, and also.....

lol, you kept track of your games played, but aren't sure if it's 15,000 or 20,000? That's a 5,000-game difference xD

In the WoL beta I played between 5-7 K games, and there is no way to prove or see how many games I played in WoL beta as a reference, is that really all you have to say to the entirety of this blog....thanks nina. ~_~

I was just axin' a question, sheesh... but 5-7k is only a variance of 2k, so I'm still confused slightly.
