I realized for what i should have realized years in advance. The inevitable ever after.
Life is what you make of it and everything that makes now what it is, positive or negative, happened for a reason and i wouldn't be who or I am, whether you love me or hate me, or where I'm at without these events.
I have the best job in the world touring on the road and getting away from "ordinary" life as much as possible. Thank you Eddie Van Halen, James Hetfield, and Dimebag for moving me to play guitar even if you are alcoholics and assholes in real life.
For the first time in a long time I am 100% comfortable with the relationship I have with my girlfriend even though she may be a little too addicted to Harry Potter, but we all have our faults. I have many.
In less than two weeks i turn 25 and I'm proud to say that i escaped most things that go on when growing up. I was never into partying or heavy drinking or being a jock date raping douche bag that's usually associated with that. I never really understood even until this day the fondness people have for getting wasted and acting like complete idiots.
There are a lot of people i miss in my life childhood friends: Jeremy, Normal Rob, Brien. Post high school turn of the century every day hanging out with all these Chicopee kids going to mental world and the moon rocks and what you will. Going on adventures to quabbin and scary lands like the butterfly world with Liberty... as times passes its normal to lose people and we have to not dwell on these things. I have so many new friends around the country a nephew who's almost 2 and a niece on the way and other things coming up for TAS so i only have good things to look foward to.
For once I am ok where I am and I think I'm going to stay here for a while.
