you boys get ready.

i’ve made no bones about 2011 being pretty sucky for me. and i must mean it, because i rarely use the word “sucky.” well, it wasn’t the worst time in my life (what’s up, august 2004 - june 2008?) but i did catch a case of that depression the kids always talk about. that is a strong li’l illness - i’m still fighting it.

anyhoo, i learned a lot about myself in 2011 - mostly things that disappoint & embarrass me. traits that i feared i possessed? oh, i spent this year verifying that shit. i also learned that as alone as my missteps made me feel, i’m not the only one. and if you’re lucky, like i am, you’ve assembled a crack team of friends who are ready to help and support and guide you back to health.

so, whatever, 2011. heartache? depression? disappointment? cancer? self doubt? nice try.

oh, and 2012?
