The Return of the Gangsta

I always wanted to use that in a relevant context…. my apologies to Coolio, but I hear Outkast in my head….
Hi. How are you?
Yes… I’ve been gone for a few months. I know, I know.
It’s not that I haven’t been thinking about you - I have. It’s just that I work in the finance industry, and things got a little crazy for a while. Then there was the election, the expansion, the Turkey…..
And the whole time, Matt kept quietly hinting that maybe he’d like me to come back and write some content. Maybe the Horde is under-represented… maybe… maybe the world needs a little more Troll to brighten it up.
And it hits me like a ton of Twitter-requested messages:
You have to make time for things that are important to you. Whether it’s WoW in general, working out, your relationships, or blogging. If you wait until inspiration strikes to be productive, you’ll at best limit yourself to spurts of creativity and at worst, end up slowly not doing anything at all.
(See: Inertia)
So, my apologies. To Matt, for not being the disciplined buddy he’s always been to me. (And for not taking the time to put a headline image on this - i figured better to get it posted than to procrastinate further.) To Syd, for recruiting her and then running-running-running away. (Hey! She’s an amazing and therefore intimidating co-blogger!) To all of you, for leaving you in a world devoid of fabulous Red Mohawks. And mostly to myself, for burning out and giving up on my passion for so long.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for writing.
Some things I’ve been working on:
- My gear upgrade spreadsheet. (it’s as laborious as it sounds. Thanks to DwarfPriest for the starting point.)
- My rep-faction grind
- Achievements (Yes, they’re mostly frivolous….but some aren’t.)
- Professions
- Updating my UI
Drop me a line in the comments and let me know what you’d like to hear about first, and I’ll make that the subject of my next post. And it will come out by the end of the weekend - I promise. (I’m very good with deadlines.)
Thanks again, to all of you that wrote to say you missed me…. it really did mean a lot.
Luv,
Wyn

I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Nazjatar. Currently, I raid 5 nights a week, and PvP occasionally. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup. 
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.
Hey! I was wondering if you were ever gonna come back. Good to see you =)
Seeing as you asked - I’d love to hear about your new UI when you get the chance.
Its exam week for me. You know what that means.
Oh yay Wyn is back!!! Personally I love hearing about professions (since they either inspire me to try harder, or help me feel better about mine sucking).
Yes, the world needs more Troll… and it definitely needs more mohawk!
Saresas last blog post..Dirty Comments Incoming!
Harnessing the power of Twitter? Like honestly, who the hell would do such a thing?
Being somewhat of a spreadsheet nerd myslef, I would love to see a gear upgrade spreadsheet. I actually stated one myself a week ago…
Haha. So I have one vote for UI, one for Professions, and one for the spreadsheet.
Oh My.
Hooray Wyn!
Write a showcase on the UI please. We’ve had requests for that one and better you than me! Mine needs serious work.
Glad to see you back Wyn
Love UI posts myself… I’m a glutton for shinies!
Softis last blog post..Flight Form - oh how I missed you!
Welcome back Wyn! Been thinking about ya.
(I voted in the poll.)
If you wait until inspiration strikes to be productive, you’ll at best limit yourself to spurts of creativity and at worst, end up slowly not doing anything at all.
Incredibly good point.
