I would be happy to answer any questions people may have as my perspective may be quite a bit different from what you have heard before.

Shane, I remember meeting you when you were an active at UTSA, and when you were on staff. Bunch of good guys I met at UTSA, my roomate at GA in 2002 was "Sweet Pea" from your chapter.

Hey all,

I know I haven't been around, or at least commenting on stuff, for quite a while - and some of you have fired of a message or two about it - but I have been dealing with some pretty severe health concerns of late.

Basically two years ago I was diagnosed (officially) with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) after a good three years of testing to try and figure out the various health issues I had been having... anyways best way to try and explain how I feel is this: picture having a really bad case of Mono for oh four years solid, and then add the fun of feeling like you are recovering from a bender (sweats, shakes, crappy sleep, headache, etc.), and then finally throw in some of the fun of being drunk (spins, concentration issues, nausea, and coordination issues). That is what I've been dealing with for the past while, and of course the fun of trying out different drugs and stuff to try and fight it

Anyways thanks all for your concern, and while I haven't been posting I have been lurking and reading through the C&Cs (including the comments and articles by many on this here site), I haven't forgotten about you all or lost interest in the site... just haven't had really anything to say really

Rob,

Good to hear from you. I just spent some time on the web reading about CFS, and it certainly is a mysterious condition that's very hard to deal with effectively. I wish you all the best and hope you recover from it.

In ZAX,
Jono

HAZING!!! HAZING!!! HAZING!!!

[JConleyWCU]

We all know that "Hazing is Amazing"...

*** The following statement was sarcastic. ***

Sarcastic:

sneering, sly, jesting, or mocking of a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound— stating the opposite of the intended meaning, e.g. using "that's fantastic" to mean "that's awful". It is used mostly in a humorous manner, but can express annoyance or anger.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky defined sarcasm as "the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded.

[GammaZeta]

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. I was being literal.

That loser comment is considered hazing to a new brother/associate.

How DARE you!

[JConleyWCU]

Its ok, as an apology I baked cookies and gave shelter to his fish. As they are unable to live in the dorms... lol
