Yeah....sorry about that guys.
I have had quite the year and this last month was the cherry on top. And by that I mean this year has kind of sucked with a bunch of good things thrown in but I was dealt the final emotional blow and I have just been watching lots of movies, reading, and going to work. Work takes what little effort I have left in my system.
To start of the story of my year the picture above is of me and my good friend Will going to my Senior Winter Formal. We have been friends from junior high up to college through likes and shyness, break-ups and new interests, becoming an artist and joining the Marines. I met Will when we were both in 8th grade and I liked his skinny butt from the start. He had these really intense green eyes and he was a total dork, but so was I. Will passed away in January from a motorcycle accident that left him in a coma for four days. He hit a car that made a left-hand turn in front of him when Will had the right-of-way; he went into a controlled slide but he was too close to the car and there was nothing he could do. This is just the first of many hard events this past year. I miss Will every day, he was one of those guys you just had to love. Will told me the day after the dance that he was sorry he forgot to tell me how pretty I looked but that I had been a green-eyed goddess in my dress. He was always painfully shy and we were also just friends at the time, I was surprised he mustered the courage just to type that on AIM.
I just wanted to say I fully intend of continuing this blog and will be making some artistic progress this next year for the first time in a year and a half I'd say. I have had a few breakthroughs but most of my pieces have been weak this entire year. But oh man, 2012 you are going to be MY year. Even if you end with a bang (the world ending and all) you will be the best year of my life to date. I won't settle for anything less.
To everyone out there I wish a great upcoming week!
