So, on December 28th, 2002, I lost my grandpa to brain cancer. He was one of the most wonderful people I know… The night he died, I had a dream, and in that dream, he showed me a symbol… The meaning is personal, and I won’t outline its full meaning here, but I will say that it is about second chances, making yourself better, and always striving to be the best version of yourself you can be.

My friend emily, was there and took some pictures, so, here you go:

And here are a few songs, of my grandpa singing…

I made this music player at MyFlashFetish.com.

I have been trying to clean up a little mess I’ve created.

See, I’ve got a mean procrastination streak, and upon entering grad school this fall, I swore to myself up and down that I wouldn’t fall into my old STUPID ways, but of course… I did.

Now, to be fair, the assignments are all due at the end of the course, and had they been due along the way, I almost certainly would have felt the importance of finishing them all on time… but they weren’t.

So, now, I am working hard, trying to catch up, as ALL of my assignments are due in about 2 weeks.

On top of that the holidays are freaking slapping me in the face, I swear to god, they are coming so fast this year. I bought a new CD full of Christmas music, by the way, and yes, I will be listening to it from now until New Years.

Oh yea, and I got my first tattoo.
