A few things I have learned in 2011... 1. The definition of trolling and flaming 2. Not to take things personally even if very personal things have been mentioned and apply exactly to your situation. 3. To never act on perceptions. 4. To remember all the reasons why you have no girlfriends is for the same reason you never did. 5. Do not TRUST a soul...ever! 6. The definition of humiliation...in real life. 7. That something as meaningful and moving as music can become something totally opposite. 8. My strengths and weaknesses and somewhere in between. 9. To give up the ghost and move on. 10. And to actually do the above Goodbye! It's been one hell of a ride!

Fire light, clear skies, stars bright and how to merge my three loves...a Nikon, Meade, and music within a makeshift campsite, bring in the new year with a big bang! Warming a pot of soapy water on a roaring fire I started alone with a few twigs and paper towels make me feel alive and at peace. If this foreshadows events to come...bring it 2012! I'm ready! Now, to find that one song expressing what this is I feel in my bones....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! XOXO
