Farewell RealGM 

Post#1 » by MasterIchiro » Thu Oct 20, 2016 3:45 pm

Ichiro, here.

I am not dead, yet. Although I will surely die someday.

Maybe if I don't create a bucket-list I can circumvent the process. I don't want to jinx it.

This is my farewell message to all members of the board and a token of gratitude for all the smiles, laughs, fits-of-rage and rants. There is an odd therapy in it all.

I shall remain a Kemba Hornets fan until I die, or beyond when I cheat death.

There is a new thing, I guess I will call it, in my life that has me obsessed, yes totally infatuated beyond basketball. It's bigger. No, it's not a girl. They're smart enough to steer clear of me for now. It's a life project. It's a mission. It's my purpose. My meaning. And if it all works out, I will be both ally to many yet target for very powerful special interest groups and socially elite. No, I am not running for office (although I have toyed with the idea, when I am much much older and my balls hang much much lower).

I am an entrepreneur. I am a pioneer in a movement that is going to build momentum in politics 10-20 years from now, maybe sooner. If my vision is realized, my face is going to be recognized in public. That is terrifying to me.

There will be no trace of me on social media other than business-related ventures. There will be no marginalization nor discrediting based on my personality, my offbeat humor, my off-color jokes. I will be scrubbed.

But thank you for getting dirty with me and giving me a wonderful entertainment outlet. I hope you enjoyed my attempts to entertain everyone in return (and provoke here and there), even the sucky ones.

As far as the 2016-2017 season?

Fire Cho.

Good luck with your future business ventures Ichiro. I hope it all works out for you. We all promise not to drag your name thru the mud and re-post your hilarious HoneyBee rants in the future.

Best of luck. And we'll know your identity in 10 or 20 years anyway, since we'll only have to look for the guy running for president with the slogan "Buzz, Buzz" ;)

I don't know what's happening. But I've always found people who thrive for some sort of project to be very inspiring.

Good luck, Ichiro! I sincerely hope that whatever you're up to turns into success.

Ichiro, blessings on you and your journey. I've really enjoyed your posts, rants, funny stuff and insights. I understand the cause, and your vision, but keep true to yourself. If politics is your future let it be honesty and selflessness that guides you. I wish you the best. :)
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Have fun dude. From one entrepreneur to another good luck. I know you will succeed. PS I want you to make it big but I would be jealous if you made it big enough to meet PJ HAIRSTON.

Good luck homey. If you need a number two to do underhanded tasks let me know.

20 years from now some mysterious figure will take over the world and during his first address to the people he'll be like "MKG sucks. Fire Cho."
