December boys got it bad....

So, I haven't posted anything on here for a few months. A LOT has changed and I'm in a much better place because of it. I took a big, stupid risk and it paid off, thank God. I'm probably the only person who can do something so incredibly risky and come out alive&kicking.

I've got a job, searching for a better one, and I've been writing a whole heckuva lot. I'm actually really proud of what I've been writing, for once in my life. I guess that's why I haven't been posting any blogs, I have a new writing outlet that's more private and will eventually become public once it's copyrighted.

Well, Memphis has lost a few more musicians since the untimely death of the legendary Jim Dickinson(whom I still miss a lot, I'll always miss him). Willie Mitchell passed at the beginning of the year and then a couple weeks later we lost an up and coming youngster, Jay Reatard. The latter was really making a name for himself and then we just lose him. His death really scared me senseless and made me think, "Who's next? Will it be someone that I consider to be like a brother to me?" Most recently, the leader of Big Star, Alex Chilton passed away. This really hit home for me too, Big Star had recently become a sort of soundtrack to my life and to lose someone when you've just started discovering them is really sad. Memphis has lost entirely too much in the past 9 months.

Well, I'm done. My mom is bugging me to finish, so maybe I'll post more later.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FOLKS THAT I LOVE!!!!!

So, it's a new year and I've made the best resolution that I've ever made. "Don't let yesterday use up too much of today," Will Rogers said that. I have no idea who the guy is, but I'm grateful to Jason Mraz for posting the quote on twitter.

This year, my writing and my education and my health will take top priority with me. I'm sick of not being the person I'm supposed to be and just letting myself go. No more. I'm gonna fight it. It's gonna be hard, fighting depression, but I have to do it. I have to.

I love writing. I'm writing an essay right now and I haven't done that in so long. I'm loving it. It's not only aimed at my eventual readers, but at myself too. It's about something that we are all guilty of falling prey to. Not gonna give it away, but I may post it in the near future.

Something that I wish that I had for my writing is a typewriter or a laptop. Sure, I've got a computer at home, but it's in my dad's room and that's not exactly easy access at any time that I may need it to type up a story or some other thing I'm working on. Just putting this out there.

I hope that you all have a wonderful year and, to whoever reads this, thank you for taking the time to care.
