I do not go gently

Mood Music: Goodbye

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I said it in my initial announcement, but I have been planning this run for President for a few months now. It was the right time in terms of RL obligations that would allow me to focus heavily on doing the job well. It was inconvenient for me that Melissa also decided to run in the one month I had planned my run. Still, I wasn’t going to back down from a fight.

Obviously, it wasn’t my time. I take it as a signal that my time has passed and while I think I still have much to give and much to do, maybe the rest of the game disagrees. I did not go gently. I made this my last hurrah and I have no regrets.

Enjoy what’s left of the game.


And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dio bless you, and Dio bless the eUnited States of America.
