Scribe the nice guy, 1985-2009 R.I.P
Well I figure you don't know where you're going unless you realize where you've been so,
This year has been something else. It started out with Ohayocon, and the drama that ensued there was enough for anyone to meet their ohmygodstopthiscrazythingjane quota. I watched as friendships were tested and battles waged, and as I did my ex-girlfriend was busy cheating on me, which, well, I honestly saw coming, and everyone else for that matter. I went through two cars, two laptops and sadly said goodbye to two co-workers who passed away. I've done a lot of griping and not a whole lot of doing. I've made two ridiculously over the top and ill advised proclamations of sappy admiration. I've been found wanting. I moved out of an apartment that had a lot of good memories a few meh memories but all together times I'll always cherish. I've lost touch with many friends, and been reunited with some others. I've been broken over and over again this year and put back together with elmers glue. I put too much of my own personal life crap on some of my friends shoulders, you know who you are guys and it's appreciated but time to take of the training wheels I guess. I learned to stop doing nothing. I started saving up for a comic book shop, and though it's going very slowly I'll get there, and if it fails it fails but at least I did something and no one can take that away from me. I STILL have not returned Lelio's Dead Like Me box set. I learned just how far being the nice guy will get you, which is only a stones throw away from where you already are. I sat and looked at the lake for a while, listened to the wind move it on a hot August night. I roasted duck, and ate pigs blood. I finally said goodbye to Anakarena, realizing that she isn't that girl I met at the bus stop anymore. I chased birds and learned I'm still a toys r us kid. I won't make the same mistakes but looking back they were mistakes I think needed to happen to get me to the mindset I'm in now, It's time to stop being the nice guy, stop thinking about yesterday like it's today and put one foot in front of the other, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM???!!!
