wow, what an incredible ride

So it's been 433 days since I last wrote on here. A lot has happened in those 433 days. Stuff I want to forget and stuff I will never forget.

-Alaska was utterly amazing. Unbelievable. My brother is one lucky guy.
-My grandmother passed away which was very hard. The hardest thing I've ever done in my life was to carry her coffin into the hearse. I miss her.
-I made some choices that will forever affect my life in more ways than one, I can only learn from those mistakes now.
-Jessi and I will be celebrating four years on Feb. 21st, I still love her the same... more than she will ever know.
-I'm starting school tomorrow. It's been almost four years since I graduated and I'm finally going back to school.
-I made a few new friends and rekindled some friendships. I love them all.
-Biddy passed away and I miss him. Best cat ever.
-I had a pretty nice semi-handle bar mustache for awhile... that's also worth mentioning.

Looking back at my journal from days of old, I feel like I don't even know that person that was writing. I feel I've grown so much since then but I still need to grow more. I've never experienced so many emotional ups and downs. It has really taken a toll on me, almost to the point where I have become numb to so many things. Maybe not so much numb, but apathetic. I've seen so much ugliness come out in people, including myself, that it makes me wonder what the future holds. How will I affect people in the future, how will they affect me?

The sun will rise the same tomorrow, but will I?
(How existential, right?)

Anyways, here are some pictures, those are always fun.
