Hello Fam, it's been awhile... I'd like to share a few things but first I owe all of you an apology. Last year when I launched this @FightersEdge1 X Page with our announced return to the scene, you all welcomed and embraced us with open arms. There are almost no words that adequately describe how that made me feel and I thank you all for that. 🙏 How you all regularly engaged with me and oGSocal's history here on 'The Fighter's Edge' was something that made my day every day I was here with you all. I do not take any of your support or enthusiasm for granted. And it's because of your support I want to say this... I'm sorry that I suddenly stopped posting in the middle of last Summer. Here is what happened... Away from this page, behind the scenes through the first half of 2025, I was working quite hard on a number of 'Fighter's Edge' projects. I was busy and happy with the general direction of things. However in the middle of last Summer I had an emergency issue at my Apartment. A flood occurred and went through a large part of my place. At the end of it all I lost quite a bit of personal property as well as technical equipment. The situation left the property where I lived no choice but to immediately start repair and remediation. In order for them to start I had to move out, and the time frame to complete the move was only 5 days. By the grace of God and the help of friends I was able to move but everything involved with the entirety of the situation left me exhausted. What would normally be a 45 day or so moving process I had to finish in less than a week, working at it 18+ hours a day. Personal and technical items were lost due to water damage, and my entire PC station setup needed to be re-built. Thank the Lord for his love and strength as He held me and my focus together through it all. He healed and strengthened those parts of me needing His love and attention. King of kings and Lord of lords. The Almighty is Faithful and I love Him. Always... ❤️✝️ Dealing with the aftermath of the flood left me at a point where I needed to rest, reset and rebuild everything including my inner strength. Over the last number of months since, that's what I've been doing. Rebuilding what needed rebuilding, counting the cost and 'resetting' my inner compass. It hasn't been easy but the Almighty is gracious and helped restore me. I am so thankful. 🙌 Now it's time to drop in another quarter and continue our Journey... 🕹️ I'll be here once again re-living the 'World's Finest Golden Era' with you while continuing my work behind the scenes on projects I look forward to sharing with you all. Once again thank you for all your support. Thank you for everything you've shared with me and with others here on 'The Fighter's Edge'. Your support means everything to me. Your love for Street Fighter and enthusiasm for it's earliest competitive History is why I love doing what I do. 🥊
