A Very-Very Late Update

    Greetings, everyone! Wow, I've been gone for so long, I don't even know where to start. But I shall start explaining why I've been gone for so long and what are my future plans. First of all, I will point out the obvious, that Dragon Ball Finale has been canceled. I am so sorry for letting down my few fans, but that's how life is; it always turns out unexpectedly different, it always catches you by surprise and all you can do is to accept it and "play along".

    Up until now, I had a pretty decent normal life, I can't say I was rich, but I wasn't poor either, somewhere in the middle, I guess, but more towards poor. Even now, I live a pretty stable life, I work, eat, have a little fun now and then, sleep, then work again, starting the routine all over as if I was programmed that way. The salary is quite minimal, about 200 euros, which to european standards is almost nothing, of course, but here it's enough to survive. You can't do much with it, obviously, you pay your bills and the rest you spend it on food, and other small things you need around the house. But if you want to buy a car, a gadget, furniture etc, all you can do is to ask a bank for a loan, which then you will have a hard time paying back, cause that will add another bill to the house, which means you either eat less or have no fun time at all like going out in pubs with friends to have a drink. And don't even get me started when you get ill or suffer from some kind of disease. It's quite stressful, but that's life here in Romania. And that is why I want to break free from this place, from this monotone boring life; I want to do so much things in my life, go out and have many adventures on my own just like Goku did, to travel around the world like he did, always meeting new people, making new friends and having lots of fun. Of course, I will be working throughout my journey to earn money to survive but that's the interesting part, I will always work in different places, do different things, not the same boring day-by-day work like a robot. I am very aware that my survival chances are minimal, that this is in fact a cruel world, but there are many good and interesting people out there and I want to meet them. I plan to start my journey in May next year and I will begin my journey with two backpacks and a bicycle. Oh, and God's blessing too, of course:)

    So know you know, why I am cancelling my fanfic and I may never return to this site. However, I do plan to write about my journey and post it here whenever I get near a computer connected to the Internet. Either way, I will always carry a notebook and a pen and write anything interesting happened to me there. However, May is still quite far away and I don't want to let down my fans all the way to the bottom, so up until then, I plan to write a huge disclosure to my Dragon Ball Finale fanfic, writing down my thoughts how I would have continued it from episode 85 and also how I planned to end the series. Furthermore, I will post the last two normal parts to my fanfic "Choosing the Right Man" and also I will make more DBZ funny comic panels ( I came up with many new funny jokes ). Oh, and I also came up with a brilliant new DBZ movie story which I will also share with you guys in the near future. So as you can see, even though I may have not posted anything new DBZ related, I never stopped thinking about that wonderful world and the great characters that Akira Toriyama created. DBZ will always hold a very special place in my heart and mind and so will Goku, my favourite character.

    What have I been doing since my last update during summer? Sincerely, I've been lazy:P  Whenever I wasn't at work, I've been playing all sort of computer games like "Amnesia: A Dark Descent", "Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs", "Esther", "Star Wars" games, "Outlast", "Unreal Tournament 2004" and currently I'm playing "Left 4 Dead". Plus, I've been watching all sort of movies and cartoons. I know, I know, I'm pretty addicted when it comes to computers or any sorts of gadgets:) But next year, I'm willing to give up on all that and "play" in the real life for a change, instead through a 16:3 screen. I may not be killing zombies, destroying stormtroopers with my lightsaber or fighting off supernatural beings from another world using the Kamehameha wave; instead, I will be fighting off crooks who try to rob me on the streets, trying to save myself or/and others whenever I encounter bad guys or terrorists, not to mention fighting against Mother Nature herself, whenever I encounter extreme weathers or natural disasters like earthquakes or twisters. We live in an incredible world where we are challenged day-by-day, instead most of us choose to ignore it and face other more supernatural challenges in the virtual world. I also choose to do so, but from next year things are about to change.

    Lastly, I would like to share with you a very good and promising DBGT re-write fanfic, which in many terms, is even better than mine and more DBZ likish: http://dbzf.co.uk/topic/8423338/1/  I hope that one day I may also return and finish my own fanfic but up until then, anyone can feel free and try to finish it as you see fit, I don't mind at all. I wish you all the best and always stay true fans of the Dragon Ball franchise, no matter how bad some series may turn out ( DBGT ) or how much lame transformations Akira Toriyama may come up with in the future ( hey, nobody can be perfect, and this time I'm referring to the SSJ God transformation ).

    PEACE!!
