And so, here is where I stand on how I deal with depression. I find myself typically avoiding dealing with it, until it builds to a new insurmountable level. I’ve experimented with various combinations of medications, all with varying degrees of functionality. I’ve considered and sought out varying degrees of counselling with a similar wide range of success.

I just wanted to write to say thank you for being such a good person. I can't believe its been so long since we last talked... You were such a joyful person to be around. The way your face beamed around your family was insane. I'm glad I was able to be your tech geek friend when needed. I really wish I had gotten that hard drive of yours working. It's hard to imagine life being as fragile as it is. Geeze, man, we barely knew each other, but I am saddened without reason knowing I won't get to see you at Erik's birthday party next month.

Goodbye, Joe...

My name is Alden. I'm 30 years old, married, father of three children. I live in Oklahoma, USA. I'm a service technician - I work on emergency power systems for hospitals, hotels, casinos & data centers. I've played minecraft since September 2010, shortly after http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/9/17/, joined during the free alpha weekend.I've built a lot of structures, huts, castles, geometric shapes, 8-bit sprites, etc. Here is a picture of a 20 radius sphere I made during the days of in-chest duping:

At Christmas I made a pair of Minecraft papercraft ornaments:


I run my own server... google my name and you'll eventually find links to it. I won't advertise it here.

Not much of a builder, but I like to assist on others big projects: mine sand, bake glass, etc.
