Wow ok. So it seems as though I forget about this blog every single year, and then some how come across it again. Maybe this time I will start to use it. I tried the vlog thing...lasted about 3 videos. it was just too much work to keep up. So maybe I can do the blog. I have a tumblr and I use that alot, so why cant I have an actual blog that the rest of society can catch on to. Oh wait...if i dont post no one sees it. Well thats gonna change. I am going to try and remember to use this as often as I can because I can.
But anyways I am rambling on and on and that seems like it repeated itself alot but hey i dont give a shit because it is 1:25AM on a Wednesday morning and I will be up for the rest of the night!
So anyways quick update to tie up things posted a year ago in prior posts.
Left everyone off ringing in the new year and one update in Feburary. Well anyways made it through 2012 as well. The world didnt end on 12/21/12 and I am still alive and well.
Dad has been good. He is still kicking cancers ass so not much has changed for him.
The lord finally decided it was time for Grandma to stop suffering from Alzheimer's and on September 10th at 7:15PM he took her hand and guided her to her eternal home in heaven.
Exactly 8 days later on September 18, I was called by my best friends Mom as she was hyperventilating on the phone screaming that I needed to rush her kids to the hospital because her husband stopped breathing. We patiently waited for hours only for the doctor to come in and inform us that they lost him and made the final call at 9ish at night.
Ok so thats two deaths and two funerals that I had to deal with in a matter of 2 weeks. For lack of a better phrase, it fucking blows. But not only did I have to deal with both those events, a couple weeks later my aunts dad died. In the end september is one nasty ass month for this family.
In prior years we lost my uncle, grandfather, and I believe two of my great grandmothers in september. Ya it sucks.
So anyways, onto some good news. After getting emotionally messed up in the past with crash and burn relationships...(well actually only one of them and the other two were potential but never took off) but anyways I told myself that I wouldnt get into a relationship till after high school and yet two days before christmas last year I changed my mind, took my friend Taylor out to dinner, took her to the coffee shop and asked her what she would think if we were boyfriend and girlfriend and long story short she said yes and here we are three months later and still happy and going strong and...well the rest is history...a happy one at that. ;)
WOW OK that was alot. Sorry for anyone who actually reads this one. Hopefully I wont be jam packing so much information into this every time I write if I actually keep up on this. As I think of things, Ill post them. Any comments to me that just say that you read this are appreciated :) I love you guys! Rock on and stay who you are....Yay positive pep talk to end!

Life is what it is
This week was the start of a new semester......which means new teachers new books more pages for parents to sign....all that good ol crap.
Anyways, its been a roller coaster type of few weeks. I came home from school last week to find out that my dad's cancer was back. That was a bit of a shocker. We were all broken up for a day or so and although it still bothers us, it didnt kill as much mainly due to the fact that we were sort of expecting this. We knew it was going to come back, it was just a matter of when.
For those of you that dont know, my dad has Multiple Myeloma which is a bone marrow cancer. He had the chemo and the radiation and whatnot and a stemcell transplant back in 2008 and this put him into remission up until now. This cancer effects the whole body. From what we understand he will eventually be to the point where his bones will break with ease and at some point in his life he will be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life.
On top of everything else, Grandma is getting worse. She has alzheimers. It has been quite the struggle. Last year I lived with her for about 3 months taking care of her, doing the laundry, making her dinner etc. When it got to the point where that wasnt enough and 24 hour care was required, my aunt ended up moving up here from new mexico to take care of her. She is getting worse as the days go on and soon she will be in a much better place.
Now onto some good news.........
I ended up picking up a volunteer job with the American Cancer Society at the beginning of the new year. I am the head of promotions for the Relay For Life in my community. If you dont know what the Relay For Life is, go to http://www.relayforlife.org/ to learn more and learn how you can get involved. Anyways I went to a local training summit over the weekend. I learned alot and met alot of great people! I will definately enjoy this job and in the end its all for a good cause.
There isnt much else going on. I am still waiting to see some snow around here. Last year today there was 7 inches on the ground and yet 2 days ago we had 57 degree temperatures. Still the fact that it is the middle of winter and the middle of the school year, I do not have much of a social life.
I will soon be making vlogs and whatnot. The brainstorming process is still underway. Leave me a comment and give me some ideas that you would like to see me talk about. Find some of my videos I have already made at http://www.youtube.com/downtobusiness48101 and make sure to subscribe!

Closing Out 2011
I have been extremely busy this past month. The holidays just about killed me but I am kinda glad they are over. I spent the christmas season with some family that I have not seen in a long time. It was good to see all of them.
I am upnorth this weekend the spend the close of the 2011 year. It has been a long one and I am glad to see it end. Many say that 2011 has been a year to remember and others have said that 2011 is a year to forget. No matter what way you look at it, just be glad that you made it through another year and hope and pray for another year ahead of you for family life and love.
I do not have much to say this time around. There is a possibility of an upcoming vlog that I may start with some friends of mine. If you have any ideas...any at all please let me know. I would love to hear your input. :)
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!
