Well. The month of August is upon us. Where did the last eight months go? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that this year has gone by so fast. For those that know me well, you will know the reasons on why I say this. For those that don't understand what I'm talking about, Just know that it is a happy time in my life. Things are starting to go up in this world for me. I do not feel as my life no longer has meaning. Instead, I see endless possiblities. I see the glass half full, not half empty.

To those that came out on Friday with me... Thanks for sharing an important day with me. For those that couldn't make it, I understand. I am now going to start looking for a new job. One in my field. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! This is what is so important. Finally getting off my butt to look for a better and more rewarding job. The next chapter. The chapter of MY life.

The year started off with me moving out of my mom and dads place and in with a roommate down town. At first I was really very scaried to be moving out. Could I live on my own? Would I be able to survive out in this world? Could I do this with the money I make? Just a few of my questions. I am glad to say... even with all the ups and downs of living with a roommate... I have survived for eight months.

I love being on my own (well, almost on my own). The freedom to come and go as I wish. Not having to answer to anyone but myself. Having my room the way I want it. Not having some one to tell me to clean up.

So, that's January. Not a whole lot else has happened until July. My cousin Ashu moved back home, Stampede was here (as you all read in my first post), and we had a service for my late grandmother, whom I miss a great deal. August just seems like the month of a new year. A year my grandma's been gone, a year I feel alive, a year to start fresh and new.
