As 2007 comes to a close it has been one hell of a year for myself. This year for me was filled with far more good than bad which is the first in a couple. This is a nice way to look back at my year. Starting the year off with drama, family problems, death and the rest it has turned into a wonderful growing period. New friends popped their heads into my life, old ones followed suite and music has been a blast.
With an all new BC line up we traveled the nation from Chicago to Boston and a week in New York. Packed shows with friends and new comers and empty basements in Detroit ever night we played was a blast and a surprise. I also was able to do music with The Holy Gun, starting working with Colieda and you never know where the future leads. Music was a blast of passion hard work and more fun (and drinking) than I could have imagined!
When it came to work and play there was a healthy mix. I graduated from college this year with a Broadcasting Degree and was promoted where I work. With all the traveling and shows I was able to find more time for loved ones and friends than I ever have in the past. This year I finally got my shit in order, my head in tune and mind focused on the important things. With the exception of a few problems with people and loved ones I found my self dealing with my problems instead of blowing them off. I atoned for many past mistakes and rebuilt bridges with my family that were extremely burnt.
In all I look back on this year as the one I grew up. I always knew that age is not what makes you mature but how you handle you business. Currently I am in extreme debt, have a few health issues and many other things that do not need mentioning but I have this slight smile as I look ahead. Hardship builds honor and dignity, famine over feast build character and 2008 holds more things for me than I can ever think. In all I feel at peace with a lot of past that has been showing up time and time again. In all I am what I am and I am proud of me.
To the rest of you I wish a Happy New year, and also wish progress and fun. So these next few hours live it up, eat to much, and drink and be marry.
