This has been a pretty amazing year. Amazing in both good and bad things. I’ve learned more about life and myself this year then I ever have. It’s funny how we, or maybe just I, learn the most from tragedy and difficult times. When you step up to the plate and make a decision for yourself and/or others you really prove your character. I may not have made the best decisions through out the entire year, but I ended this year with great ones. I can only hope that others view it the same way I do.
Pivotal learning moments in my life last year:
Got a new job
Made a few friends at the new job
Paid a visit to California
Talked with Anja about happiness after California trip
Bought a house
Remodeled a house
Dad spent a week in the hospital
Wrote some great songs (IMO. Fuck off if you don’t like’em. They make me happy.)
Asking Anja for a divorce
Put the house up for sale
On going health issues for my Dad
Found happiness
So I survived 26… Lets see what 27 has in store for me.
I leave you with lyrics from Dredg’s song “Sorry but it’s over”.
Distorted and complicated
I’m sorry but its over
Essential to awaken
I’m leaving
Here we are
That’s what it’s all about
I’m sorry but its over
To love here and to love this
I’m finally breathing
Before you go
There is something more to say
Before you go
There is something more to say
Persistent resentment
I’m sorry but its over
Seduction for destruction
I’m finally breathing
Before you go
There is something more to say
Before you go
There is something more to say
Before you go
There is something more to say
