Sorry guys, I am "forced" to cancell my partecipation for the tournament.
That breaks my heart a lot, friends and people that knows me might be interestend knowing the reason why, and i feel like informing them about the reason ( read the following post ). I am not quitting IL2, it's my fav game on ps3, i just don't have spare time anymore to play playstation as i used to have in the past, specially for the next months... Can't tell right now. I wish you a good, challenging, fair tournament and, may the best win! Always, take it easy this is a game!
I feel like sharing part of my private life with friend that might wanna know
why i can't play anymore as i used to do, i just feel like spending more word on it. If interested, keep reading, otherwise, feel free skipping next post.
Quitting few days before the torunament starts make me feel very bad toward people who spent a lot of effort and energy setting up the rule and the tournament ( the
great MACADEMIC, edal86 and more... ) but i misjudged the energy i will have to spend in my incoming commitment. Tournament sadly happened just too late ... i wish it could have been settled up last year
Anyway....
The new years have brought a lot of new things ( most of them happily wished ) into my life and my little free time is getting short day by day. I 've got new timetable at my work place ( some more strict shifts
) and some great things just have happened at the beginning of the last week that had consumed all my free time, that sadly forced me to cancel my parteciaption at the tournament, because i would not be able to connect at night anymore as i used to do.
( I will have to work from 10.00 a.m. to 8.00 pm, getting home around at 9.00 p.m. so my only free time is located during night hours, that have to be optimized... main reason explained next.... )
Apart from my work, wich i could easily handle, that would not the main "problem", in my spare time i'm a jazz musician ( been playing guitar and more musical instrument for around 20 years, jazz rock pop but approached jazz music in a serious way around three years ago ) and the new years have brought me the possibility to build up a quintet after years of "underground work" with some great musician i know
and also the possibility to work, study and grow with some great and "historical" artist that lives in my city. That's mean that at night ( few free night time hours i have during the week ) i will have to do rehearsal and stay very very focused on this, spending more time studyng / arranging / composing / experimenting and practicing music as i never had done before. ( Musician i will play with have, of course, expetation, as i do, and i want to perform at the maximum of my capabilities, also, you never end learing new things in music, and, i think, life also, who knows where this path will leads me ) This is a great luck for me, but, unluck because it 's just started same time with the tournament
Oh.... ehehe i also have a family, of course, luckly my wife is a musucian too ( she sings ) and support me.
I won't annoy you longer with things reagaring private life not concerned to the game, so, i wish you the best and might the best win! I'll check the ladder board and results from work! ehehehe that would be fun!
