Hey all; and a happy holidays to everyone!  I hope everything's gone your way.  I don't have much to say this time around, just wanted to give a brief update.

I got a job recently, all my time searching  and it finally happened.  Yay for me!  I did have to move away from my hometown though.  Aside from that I've been doing well the last few months, it's a big adjustment though let me tell ya.

As a result I don't have much time to myself during the week.  So what I'm doing while I'm on vacation is uploading character profiles and story concepts to my page here.  I'm hoping for a few critiques while I'm still trying to find balance between my career and my passions.  At least that way I can figure out how to actually make something of this page beyond offering comments to what I find here.  I admit I haven't done much, but I am hoping to change that; yeah I know I've probably said that before. 

Anyway; enjoy the rest of the holiday.  To all my friends here; I hope nothing but good things are in your future.  To everyone else; I hope I get to know you better in the coming year.  Take it easy everybody;

PEACE!

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Those of you with someone to share it with, take 'em somewhere nice, sit under the stars and make damn sure they know how much you mean to them. Those of you without that special someone; send a valentines day wish to someone else who is alone today, that way even if you're alone you've touched someone's heart. You may not have that someone yet, but you've lifted the spirits of another, and that's a step in the right direction.

Peace.

Well...in a half  hour anyway!  Well 2012 is on the way out and 2013 is on the horizon.  So I have to ask anyone who looks at this thing; what are you hoping for in the coming year?  

I hope to find a job, one that pays and is something I can be happy doing for the time being.  I'd love to meet somebody as well.  I want to keep having fun talking to all you fine people here on DA and in other areas of the internet, and start posting stories.  What can I say; inspiration is a rare comodity and it's hard to write when you've got no new ideas.  

I hope everyone's had a great holiday, and I hope your New Years is great.  Best to all you guys;


PEACE!!

My Grandmother passed away last week after multiple years battling various illnesses.  It's never easy to say goodbye to a loved one, but this time...I think because I got to see her over Thanksgiving, say my goodbyes in person and spend some time with her one more time...I don't know I guess the sting was taken out of the inevitability of her passing.  I think I got all the sadness out of my system and could only look at it as her...going home to her husband and family who'd gone before her.  From what I've been told her passing was very peaceful, and though i wasn't there to see the end result, I can't help but think that when her time came, she went out smiling on the inside.  Grandma was strong and stubborn as an elephant, you couldn't make this lady do ANYTHING until she was ready.  And the week before, her wayward grandchildren managed to make it back to say their farewells, I guess that was all she was waiting for.  Thank you for holding out long enough for me to say goodbye, I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself had things been different.  

I'll never forget you grandma, how could I?  You taught me how to read, or at least were the first person I remember trying to do so.  I doubt I would love the written word as much as I do if I hadn't got such an early start.  You listened to me when I was being a petulant teenager even though I'd long since grown past the age where I could get away with it, you offered sage wisdom from a bygone era that was just as useful today as it was then, and the day I left home you we shared a farewell that pierced through all the layers of jaded cynicism and touched the little boy who would sprint from his parent's car into your waiting arms all those years ago.  My eyes are watering as I type these words, so I guess not all my tears are spent.  In a way I welcome them, to know that simply reminising on these moments still strikes such a chord with me lets me know that the woman whose passing I mourn isn't resting in a plot somewhere, but still occupying that space in my heart that she always did.  

I needed one last little bit of closure before I try to move on with things, so I'll end it with something simple and heartfelt.

Bye Grandma; I love you, I'll miss you, and I'll never stop trying to make you proud.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!! Aww nuts Freddy Kruger just popped into my room, hang on a sec. *Grabs Ghostbuster gear* Alright you burnt up bastard, you ain't taking me out like you did Kincaid!  What the he- Pinhead, aww come on man I never touched that freaking puzzle!
