5 years ago (my sophomore year of college) I joined an e-mail fed called NAW on Yahoo. I was going through the worst situation anyone could go through and, after writing a few crappy shoot rp's, I began to feel a little better. as NAW grew and turned into a real fed, that feeling i got when i rp'ed grew as well. rp'ing became a way for me to get out all my pent up emotions, whether i was pissed or sad or felt goofy or whatever, rp'ing was a way for me to get everything down on paper.
when NAW shut down and after bouncing around a few other feds...

I settled into NLWF...which was the best/worst thing to ever happen to me. CC as a character grew and changed into the CC you all know and love (or hate) today. i grew into the current IWF champ...i grew into the #1 uncontested wrestler in the world. But something had changed for me...especially after NLWF died and we formed IWF.
RP'ing had lost it's allure to me. I don't know if it's because my life stopped sucking or if it's because i was writing shows and show outlines and coming up with storyline ideas on top of rp'ing or what...all i know is that rp'ing became more of a chore. To this day, i still struggle to find free time to rp and struggle to get excited about good rp ideas. VVR and I could have the single most amazing storyline in IWF right now...but i just can't find the time or the effort to get cranked up about it like i used to get excited about ideas (see: every time BC brought up the name "Salvation" in NLWF).
With that being said...Corey Casey has decided to go out at Fallout and take his curtain call.
AKA-i'm stepping down from rp'ing
I've thought about this a lot over the last 24 hours...well, maybe more than 24 hours. OOC i'm a real life first year teacher, a soccer coach, i picked up a second job (well technically i've always had this second job up at UNH it's just that things are starting to get busy at that second job), and i am trying to balance my gf and spending time with my friends. I just don't have the time to get shit done like i used to in IWF and in CC's career. Combine all of that with the current new membership (one member specifically) and i don't think i can handle all the drama and pressure that comes with rp'ing and being active with storylines and shit.
Don't worry, I have talked to the other two members of the Rule of Three (Chuck Matthews and Brandon Macdonald) and I have agreed to stay on and help out writing shows and coming up with storyline ideas and shit for whenever i get some free time and such. sundays are (normally) pretty chill for me so i can try and get some show writing done and shit like that still. I am just stepping down in terms of rp'ing and being an active character.
I would like to take the time to personally apologize to VVR. VVR, i know we had/have a storyline going...but i can't give you and this feud 110% right now man. I don't have the time or the drive to give this feud everything that it deserves. I'm sorry man.
To everyone else, i will still be around the site and (depending upon who is in the chatbox) i will be kicking around the chatbox still. I have a lot of things i need to say to a specific new member and i will be sending him a PM sooner rather than later...but other than that, it's been a fun trip boys.
Like i said, i will still be around...i'm just stepping down from active competition after Fallout
