almost 2006
it has been an unbelievable year. 2005. 2004 even. 2003, yes definitely unbelievable. 2002 was awful. 2001 was pretty rough. 2000 was ok but i still remember being excited that it was over. 1999 and beyond are jumbled into one year that represents a time and a place i haven't paid a mental visit to in a long while.
i never update this journal. i think i stopped after i realized that every single post was about one big event, and reading back over them seemed to put me in a mood.
2006 and not much has changed. ashley and i are together and i love her. my grandmother lost her battle to lung cancer this past spring. i love and miss her. months before that, mandy took her life. i love and miss her and always will. my mother is sick. my brother has gone through one break up and the beginning of a new relationship. my other brother got engaged. my sister, after dating women for five years, is now in a relationship with a great guy. all kinds of family drama continues to go down, but i'm not sure life would be the same without it.
2005. unbelievable what i went through these past 12 months. i have the grey hairs, the fatigue and the worn down fingertips to show for it. i put my heart into music. wrote a song or two for the most important women i know and shelled out some artwork, poetry, etc. in the meantime. i'm proud of what i overcame, and even more proud of what i have accomplished in the last year. i've got a 3.4 gpa, work part time at a coffee shop in the city, and continue to deal with the good, bad, and the ugly that life throws in my direction.
maybe i'll post my new year's resolution on here when i get a chance. here's to 2006: may it bring some sort of relief and rejuvenation after nearly 20 years of ups and downs.
love to all,
