Whew. Thanks. Thought maybe I died and was in some bad Twilight Zone episode where only I think I'm alive. Vodka it is, then. Cheers.

To get it over with and on to the next year. If it wasn't for making most of my money around now, I'd completely hate this time of year.

``Bah!'' ``Humbug!'' Christmas is a great time of year especially when you have young children.
So all I want is to spend quality time with my family & friends…….so I expect it to be a good one!

Life is a pain and a struggle, that is the very definition of life - evolution and it has always been that way. In fact, existence itself is a struggle, even without the complex element of life - planets, atoms, starts, they all fight, collide and destroy each other, changing and evolving. Without this the universe would be a very dull place indeed.

But when it's at its worst I try to think of the artists that brave the elements - sitting outside in rain and snow, not only to capture the environment around them, but also to remember that they are a part of it, they are alive. Sometimes only pain and grief makes you realise just how alive you are, and that given the contrary possibility of not being alive, not existing, we really are quite lucky even though it doesn't always feel like it.

Ok, I'll shut up now and get back to work!

I've been very unproductive lately and I'll agree that 2008 has turned out to be the worst. I lost my wife in October, she was very young. She had just turned 34. Now it's just our 16 year old daughter and myself. Been in a very dark mood. Not hanging out in the Blackened Voodoo where it is probably a lot safer and healthier but hanging out in brick and mortar bars until sunup. Hard to come home. Ugh...where to go from here? Somebody buy me something strong.

Hey,take care Keith. Life isn't over now that you're single. I know. I actually choose to be, because I've finally come to the realization that nobody in their right mind could live with me, and I'm not into crazy people. lol Sorry for your loss, but don't drowned yourself in booze. Definitely not the solution. I usually don't endorse this kind of thing, but you might want to visit church or some other non-drinking social venue. Much healthier in the long run.
Quote This Message

Yeah, I'm definitely not trying to fix anything by doing what I've been doing. A big part of the problem is that 3 nights a week I work in a bar. When it closes I don't get out of there until late and I go seeking some sort of company which is generally other late night bar people and wind up drinking and talking and then, bang, it's 9:00 in the morning. Not a good thing, but, like I said in the earlier post, it's really hard to come home sometimes. The people all leave, the music stops and then you're by yourself. My daughter usually stays with a relative on nights that I work and the void is just too much to face sometimes.

Soory for your sad loss . This year as been a real kick in the teeth . I find the night times are the worst .especailly when the house is quiet . We were expecting another addition to the family but we have an angel instead
