Yes yes I know it's been nearly a year since my last post. Unacceptable, I know. But it's kind of hard to be motivated when I have no audience. I talk to myself often but I rarely write to myself and I don't really see the point. Sure I should do this so that I can look back at my life down the road and have a way to remember it. (Why do most of my posts on my blog already look like this?) Consider this my apology (self) and let us begin anew.
