Howdy ATSers

Hello to everybody who is readin this on ATS!

I'm a brand new member, but long-time observer of this amazing site. I actually first came across ATS YEARS ago, but quickly dismissed it (during my younger crazy rebellious streak days..) So it wasn't actually until 7 months ago that I ended up back here, as I had quickly become tired of MSM & the junk they are feeding us.
ATS News is just so much better.

Even though I was only using ATS for any *real* breaking news reports, I also started searching into several topics that interested me, fascinated me & educated me. Although there are also 100's of crazy & non-thought out conspiracy theories, which just make us look more ridiculous...However I believe TPTB have created ludicrous conspiracies purposefully to confuse (E.g. Zeitgeist Documentary)..."Order Through Chaos"...But I won't go there right now
Looking through the site & threads, ATS community, by large, are intelligent people & I look forward to bringing in my own contribution towards the site!

As for me, well, I'm from the UK, but of ethnic origin. I'm going through what I believe is the roughest time of my life, ever...Family problems, social, personal. I'm keeping a secret from my family, but it's bad news...I'm afraid I'll break their hearts when they find out. It's tough carryin this burden alone...With my parents' current health problems, I no longer care about the problem, but how they are going to react...Any advice for somebody going through hell right now?

If you're going through hell, keep moving and don't stop. It's tempting to just sit down and stress about it but press through to the other side.

I'm starting to move after being stuck in a sort of "limbo" for the past few years...What is life without living? Just merely existance..It's been a painful year, having to count down the days, which turns to weeks then months of waiting till they find out this problem of mines...& still counting, but I guess on the bright side, not long to go now.

I'm somebody who wears his heart on his sleeve..It's the reaction from family & friends once everybody finally knows what's happened that I'll dread the most...Something where I'll never be truly forgiven as it's something that's gone too far...
But at the same time, it's this problem that I feel (hope) is changing me for better..Only 2 months till everybody knows & my life turned upside down.

Hey now SmoKey...

WTF..? Check it out HaZe - young, crazy and rebellious is the Standard around here..! Anything less will NOT be accepted..!


I have a feeling you will live up to that standard quite easily...





Good intro and good times - remember to consume a beer or two before replying to some of the more profound threads around here, otherwise reality may hit you straight-on...


Cya in the trenches chief...

Haha I've noticed quite a few, shall we say...eccentric characters in the ATS community (Including yourself? )

If I had a penny for the amount of times reality has hit me from a very intelligent post or thread, I'd be rich...Rothschild rich!

Thanks for sharing the love though, much appreciated!

Now pass us a beer bud
