ATTN: 2009... I WOULD LIKE A YEAR OF MY LIFE BACK...

WELL, 2009 HAS FINALLY COME TO A CLOSE. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IT ENDED ON A POSITIVE NOTE, BUT, WHO AM I KIDDING. I WILL BE POSTING SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT YEAR SOON. BUT FOR NOW I WOULD LIKE TO BRIEFLY STATE THAT IT ENDED IN CATASTROPHE. IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER MY BAND, SUPERBAD, disBANDED, MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT WENT UNDER LEAVING ME... WELL... UNEMPLOYED, AND COINCIDING WITH THAT I SLIPPED ON SOME ICE AND BROKE MY ELBOW AND HAD TO GET SURGERY. THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE IS ALSO TRYING THEIR HARDEST NOT TO GIVE ME ANYTHING EITHER. PERHAPS THIS YEAR WILL PROVE TO BE FRUITFUL, BUT WHO KNOWS? I SUPPOSE ONE WOULDN'T QUITE CONSIDER ALL OF THAT "CATASTROPHIC" BUT IT IS CERTAINLY A JOLT TO THE SYSTEM. AT LEAST I HAVE MORE TIME TO READ.
