First post of the new year!

New Year's Eve was fun. My uncle Mo's friend Brian always throws a party, but for the last few years I hadn't been able to attend. This year I finally got to. Eric had to work at 4 am, both NYE and NY Day; he spent the day sleeping, so as not to be a zombie for the countdown. He gave me my New Years kiss and we stayed up ( Read more... )

The plans for this Thanksgiving was to eat dinner at my Tia's new house in Palmdale. The Moms were going to ride up in their car, Christine was carpooling with dad, while I was going to stay behind and wait for Eric to get out of work and we'd be up last.

I reached a real low point this week, and burned a bridge I shouldn't have. Today I woke up for the first time with the acceptance of my depression and a genuine feeling of empowerment. I ( Read more... )

I'm finally recovering from my cold, only now I've got another problem. It appears I have a small cyst on my thigh. I've had them before, two had to be removed surgical when I was a child, one on my cheek and one on my back. Neither were very big, but I remember the they were painful. The one on my thigh comes and goes, but every time it shows up I ( Read more... )

I'm having trouble finding my Motivation. I know it's not lost because in the wee hours of the night, as I'm in that twilight state where my thoughts are blending with my dreams, I can hear it hissing at my from the hard to reach places under my bed. Unfortunately, at that time, I'm not quite fast enough to reach it as I thrust my arm under the bed ( Read more... )

Ye be warned; thar be spoilers ahead. If you have a problem with spoilers read this article, I've read it through and it's not giving anything away.

As I mentioned previously Skyline sucked. So much so that it threw me into a psychotic rage until the time that I realized I had left my bag in the theater, more on that in a moment.
