I realize I'm a month late for year end roundups but 2006 was monumental enough to justify some form of proper kiss off ( Read more... )

lovely post. I'm a firm believer in the fact that bad things must happen throughout life for us to appreciate the good. So although 2006 may have sucked, 2007 will no doubt rock in comparison. (knock on wood)

Well, it may or it may not rock, but it's all good in the end as long as you roll with the punches and try to grow as a person, as opposed to dwelling in the land of self-pity.

I'm very sorry to hear about D, B. I knew here for some time through various visually inclined networking events, and always found her to be very pleasant and easy to talk to. I actually recall when Poly P came up in a conversation once, and though it didn't really go deeper than that, I realized how small the world really is, yet again. Heh.

As far as projects go, you're still very young. Cliche, yes, but I have to tell myself the same. I accomplished more this year than I ever have, yet none of it was really greatly planned or expected - let alone wanted, initially. It's funny how things work out that way. I, like you, more than likely - have too many plans and not enough time. Unfortunately, the plans seems to keep growing as the time tends to diminish, making achieving those goals more and more troublesome.

At any rate, best of luck, and I hope 2007 proves to be fruitful for you. Yes, as fruit as the cheap bottle of wine that I'm almost through, left over from a 2006 holiday party. Don't drink and post, kids!

Thanks. I do realize I'm still young, and my age bothers me less from a creative standpoint now that I'm no longer trying to make it in the youth-based market that is the music biz. But nothing is ever going to happen if I am too fractured or distracted to make it happen.

My age really only bothers me from the standpoint of being single at 31. I'm independent enough that it isn't that big of a deal, and it isn't exactly like I have trouble meeting women. But I'm now at a place in my life where I'd much rather have that companion in my life, someone with whom I can settle in for the long haul.

But like I said, I'm at peace with everything and am focusing my energy on the areas of my life I can directly improve.

I hear the whole "well known young artist" thing, as I wanted that as well. I thought I'd be doing special effects for films or have my own successful comic by 18, then 21 - when I realized that the teens are no time for triumph ( ... )

I thought you've handled D's leaving remarkably well, and you were always very gracious about it. I guess I was taken by how patient you were during her leaving.

Here's to 2007, and me as the greatest wingman EVAH!

D. never did show me a picture of the mosaicked cow, though I asked a couple of times. Can you help?

Man, I realize I carried the weight pretty well but I've lost 20 lbs since those pictures were taken. Reigning in fast food and portion sizes FTW
