Hopefully, An End

I used to be one for sugarcoating. Back then, when I was a teenager, unhappy truths weren't so difficult to face if I could insert a note of optimism in on the side.

That's not really something I go for anymore. Isn't it easier to resolve a problem if you just, you know, call it for what it is?

So let's be honest. 

2012 was not the best time for me. Between the employment woes, the bouts of only moderately funny madness, and the whole attempted murder thing (which happened, by the way, on my birthday) it's been a year that's worn me down in a lot of ways. And if something doesn't break, I really don't know what I'll do. 

So here's to 2013. 

I'll be blessed enough to begin it in the Goldlands with some friends. If there's been one bright spot to this year, it was them.
