I feel like I need to get this off my chest because quite honestly I have been pretty non-existent on the boards and if you ask anyone that knows me, I’m usually extremely active, trying to meet new people and start developing story lines with others. I’m an Executive Chef for an Ivy League type University in Boca Raton, Florida. The months of late August to early November are usually a busy stretch for me. This year it has been even more difficult because I have been short staffed and we have more students and Caterings to do. Today for example, in a few moments I go to work and pull a 15-hour shift. 12-hour shifts are usually the norm. In all of my feds I participate in I have seen a drop in my productivity and those that know me which aren’t many here can tell you that is NOT who I am or acceptable in anyway.
I thought I could muscle through it and joined UCI with Celeste, a character that I created three years ago, had a small stint in an NXT type fed called KWI and once that folded I basically put her on the shelf after another small stint in Exodus Pro's angle fed Revolution if any are familiar with that fed. For the last few years I have been waiting for the right opportunity to activate this character and find her a new home, I probably should have waited but I I wanted to get the ball rolling so I signed her up here.
I fucking love this game, I have been doing it for 15 years, since 2007 it has been non-stop so for almost ten of those there has been no break, I have a philosophy I live by which has brought me success to my career, you go hard and never half-ass anything, basically if I am going to put the time, the effort and the passion into this hobby I want to give you my best. In UCI the last few months I have been dragging ass, I have made two fatal errors that I take full responsibility for, something that is completely out of character for me, first was role playing against the wrong opponent, working long hours and not really focusing on things I thought when I saw the card it was one opponent but happened to be someone else. At first I thought it was changed, obviously I’m a fucking idiot. The second was this past week when I read the Killing Floor post wrong and thought the match rp’s were due Saturday where the rest of the PPV was due Friday. Even after messages from Jordan, it still didn’t click because I was on 15 hours of sleep all week and was barely paying attention to the boards while writing Celeste rp, a CD I was damn proud of and thought it was one of my best because let’s face it, the Killing Floor match was a beast and I was SUPER excited to be a part of it win or lose, it was a chance for Celeste to grow as a character and a force here in the UCI…..
I dropped the ball.
I was going to write the Shoot portion Saturday early morning and post. I didn’t get home until late Friday night working and saw that everyone had posted a role play before 6pm my time and my heart sunk in my chest, I knew right there that I fucked up and killed my character’s chances of making an impact in that match. After results came out I was angry, Jordan knows, we talked in private and I was going to step away from UCI because that is TWICE that I made bonehead mistakes and in fifteen years of role playing I have NEVER just no-showed, NEVER. This was a missed opportunity for me and in my other feds you blow something like that and you go to the back of the line and start all over again. I was so behind I didn’t even know there was a podcast on 10/20 with Andre, Sol and Jordan until yesterday morning when I listened to it and after I heard what Jordan had to say about me and after being the stand-up guy he was while I was venting like a beast it made me realize that this is the kind of man that I want to play the game for. I have been in a lot of feds, I have watched some of the strongest close down because of petty egos and skullduggery, I am in one now where some people think they are holier than thou and call some of us cancers, unfortunately that is the nature of the beast but TWICE Jordan has been the kind of person that will lay it out and really make you excited to be a part of this group and the guys I have met so far, it is a testament of what UCI is so much so I convinced my best friend in efedding, Jon (Jaina Frost, Mogui) to join.
I fucked up, now I need to build my girl back up. I appreciate what Jordan did in the match when at first I didn’t see it but now that the bigger picture is in front of me, I can use what happened to make the character even better. I have a ton of ideas and after this week? My schedule starts to clear up some, I will be able to have the time to contribute more in the UCI both IC and OOC. I apologize to everyone in the Killing Floor Match, that is not who I am, I want to make that perfectly clear. Like Jordan said on his podcast, I’m the guy when you look at the schedule and Celeste is your opponent, it’s time to bring you’re A-Game because I will always bring mine. Guys like the handler of Ryan Jones, Jayson Price, Andre Holmes and Jack Schlongson seem like great guys to work with and like so many others in this fed I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, I look forward to working with all of you too.
Congratulations to Andre, you deserve it bro, as for the rest of the competitors, kudos for your showing and efforts, great stuff.
As for Celeste, the next chapter is coming and some of you aren’t going to like it. 
Jordan my appreciation goes to you for being a great Fed Head and an all-around good guy. Let’s make magic happen.
Thanks for reading this long-winded rant and again my apologies for fucking up, it won't happen again.
-Omar

All good man. Strong post. I feel the same way about pretty much everything and when I return it will because of the guys like Jordan basically being standup as fuck.

I'm new here, so the context might not mean much, but having seen a housemate work similar hours and run themselves ragged, make sure you take some time to take care of yourself. I'm sure you're used to hours like this, but it is important to keep yourself healthy during hard work like that.

You know I got nothing but love for you O. You are one of the best here and I look forward to working with you in the future and I'm SO glad you aren't leaving. We all understand how it is with your work schedule so thank you for whatever time you have to offer.

It's all good, Celeste. This crowd is a "real life comes first" group so don't sweat it. Shit happens but we're glad that you're sticking with it and props on admitting to your mistakes.

Thank you all for the kind words and yes, I'm going to temper myself moving forward with my job and my life, I'm going to have fun in this game, something I haven't had a lot of in the last few months. Thank you for understanding and the support, means a lot.

Let me just say that as Mr. UCI, well according to the ‘Dre, Spencer, Teo Podcast, Celeste Mallory is a pretty fucking amazing character and I did think she would've won the World Heavyweight Championship, not to take anything away from Andre, if the real world didn't rear it's ugly head on you. But don't fret dropping the ball too much, real world stuff tends to bite everyone on the ass every now and then in our fantasy life at the most inopportune times. We all are a pretty tight-knit understanding family and you are part of said family. Yes, Celeste Mallory had a setback, but it is definitely a minor one. Celeste is a true force to be reckoned with here in the UCI. And I do know that “The Handsome Half-breed” Shadowlove looks forward to seeing what Celeste Mallory’s next chapter in her saga's going to be. . .

Just keep doing what you're doing roleplay wise.. you're an awesome writer.
I echo your sentiments with Spence... Dude is an epic fed head.
Hope real life slows down for you soon. Working 15 hours a day does not sound like a good time
