Exorcising the devil...

Good riddance. Two consecutive days of gimmick -- yet again. This is certainly something I'll miss when I finally start working and moving on with my life, and that's definitely something I plan to do (move on) as I grow older in a couple of days. I know I'm going to have to eventually do that, but for now I still need to enjoy my life as a free person.

Anyway, the Chivas Regal I served for the party friday night was a really memorable bottle of whisky that I wouldn't forget in the near future. A handful of my friends were there, although it would have been nice if I had more come over. Not that I'm complaining, the company was really something to remember. I invited all that I could handle and I was thankful for their presence. Now I know that keeping friends really pay when you need them the most.

And as for the devil, I'm feeling better and badder now -- met a new friend that my aunt met through texting, and he's one party freak. Not to mention that he's galante and has the humour that most people don't have. I'm sure glad I met someone like him, which is someone I'd want to be someday -- earning enough for myself and friends for gimmick. I haven't even turned 21 officially yet, but I'm beginning to feel that 21 will be a really nice age for me. But that's just a number, and what counts would be what I've learned through all those years of living.

And with that, I exorcize the devil from my old self, and invite him to accompany me through arguably the most sinful year of this life that I had been given the chance to live. I'm surely going to enjoy this. :)

Chill...

Help wanted: writing resources

I'm currently fleshing out a fantasy setting for a series of short stories rattling in my head that I'd like to get out into the world. However, it's the first time I'm even trying to do this, so I need your help: are there any good resources for world-building and writing guides that have been helpful in your projects? So far I've been really enamoured by Brandon Sanderson's world building and Patrick Rothfuss' storytelling. I suspect those two are at the pinnacle of the trade and I'm probably not going to do myself any favours by trying to live up to what they're doing, but I'd still like to give it the good college try. Are there any resources (forums, books, guides, blogs, or courses) that I should be taking if I want to do a decent first take at this? This is probably better as an email to friends and maybe some random folks (or maybe even a tweet) but why not a blog as well?

Reconnecting with people

2021 started with a a good sense of connection for me, having spent time with friends and family in a simple celebration of the oncoming year. The transition from 2020 to 2021 and being able to look back at a good part of my recent history got me thinking about how life has been for me and the family for the past decade. There’ve been a lot of people that I’ve met and become friends with while there are those that I’ve left behind and lost touch with. There’s a saying about treating old friends different from new ones, which I do appreciate now that I’m a bit older. It also means that my relationships with people that I get to spend a good amount of time with take a different shape. This reflection has given me some time and space to think about what it means to reconnect with people. Friends are the family we choose ourselves. — Edna Buchman I have the privilege of having life-long friends that I don’t always stay in regular contact with. From my perspective, if I consider you a frien...

Grief and Mourning

I've not been writing for a long time already but this time I can't keep this to myself. There's been too much happening to me and my family the past few days that I need an outlet. I've tried talking it out, being silent, and crying it out. Right now though I'm numb. I don't know whether I can keep this to myself and if I do I don't think it will be a good thing. Maybe other people have had the same experience or at least gone through the same thing. Maybe just the act of writing this out is going to be enough to make me feel something. There was a time in my life that I had thought I've been through everything. I thought everything that can happen to me would be something I can deal with. There was no doubt in my mind that I can handle anything. Unfortunately this latest one that happened to me and my wife wasn't something I was prepared for. Nor was I ready to deal with it in a manner that was controlled or well-thought out. I thought maybe if I...
