New Year

Well, well, here we are into the 3rd week of the new year, and guess what, feels like the last one, except colder. I am almost out of the black hole that has been my life for the last year and some change.

Some good things have happened over this time period though. I have a new nephew that I haven't even met. My little brother is a dad, and I can't wait to see Keegan. Via the internet, I have managed to reconnect with some long lost friends that will make my trip to Phoenix much more enjoyable than an ordinary trip would be. The year is looking bright, better than the last one started off. Within the next 75 days, I will be back in the States, back in California, and happy not carrying a weapon everywhere I go.

The SO and I split up right before the New Year. Its painful, but it was neccessary. I still love her as much as I always have, and we still have alot shit to sort through in the coming months, but who knows where it will take us. Always, the only thing that I have wanted for her is to be happy, whatever that means. She has been, and will for the foreseeable future continue to be a huge influence in my life. I would not be the man that I am today without her love, and guidance. Oh well.
