so the year is almost over. It's been a mixed bag for me. I don't really put much into the idea of a new year meaning fresh starts or great things suddenly happening or whatnot. It's usually just a continuation of the previous year with a few extra hangovers. We'll see where life takes me, who's around etc. as it comes, right? I sort of think going forward with zero expectations is the best option. I'm cool with that. Sure, I have moments of doubt and I'm only human, sometimes my emotions get the best of me and I have to fight it. But that happens. I still have a lot of living to do and I plan to do it.

Regarding the trip I REALLY want to take out west to the desert...I'm thinking I might try to put together a group type thing... let me know if you are interested and I'll send you the details. Could be loads of fun!
