Dear Hristo:
If you let me go a bit deeper in this, let me tell you that fun is great, but
only until the point where you are not going later to feel you lost your time
instead of doing something of more importance or substance according to your
gifts. Each time I think in the thousands of hours I have expended in this game
instead of using them for the sake of my real gifts -writting; I am a writer in
my country- I feel a sad feeling of lose, banality, etc. Of course I am 50 years
old and that makes things worse; I have not, like you, so many time for expeding
in shit from now on. So maybe next week i will drop all this. For the time being
I am going to play againts CM6000
Bye
Fernando
