2008, the bitch and the brew
Man, 2008 was a seriously fucked up year. Probably the worst year I've been a part of maybe ever. There was a whole truckload of bullshit that went on that I don't ever care to go through again. It started out just days into 2009 with our new dog getting very sick and us having to make the extremely hard decision to return him. It then went on to include such awesome things as my mom being diagnosed with colon cancer, L losing her job in this insane economy, my aunt passing away, an ungodly bad 3 months at work, and close friends dealing with a scenario you would want no one to go through. That was SOME of the bullshit, and if you know me you know I dont dwell on negative shit. Fuck the stress. So to counter balance that bad shit - here is the good shit that went on...we had Ozzy (the raddest labradude ever) come into our lives, my mom whipped the shit out of cancer and now is in full recovery, L got a new job, L is almost done with school (extremely proud of her), I went to more Dawgs games, L and I attended our first ever UGA/FLA game in Jax and despite the loss we had a jammin' time, we had the most incredible Yacht Zap that could have ever been conceived, Wedding Zap, mutherfucking OBAMA!, Ice turned 30 (and all the awesome shit that encompassed that), the France celebrated its 10 year anniversary with a show for the ages, death wish, turned 31 with LEX friends in town, I finally finished the third ExcaliBrah record which was two and a half years in the making - That thing almost broke me, truly, but all the hard work paid off and I am extremely proud of the outcome of it something that hopefully makes my friends laugh, my sister graduated OU and got accepted to one of the best culinary schools in the nation, The Falcons were FUCKING incredible, our friends started having babies, I finished the artwork for the Still Flyin' record (which if my artwork is 1/100th as awesome as the music, I'll have achieved my goal, the record smokes dudes!), and finally - L and I enjoyed another year surrounded by our incredible friends. I dont think we would have made it through the good or the bad without such a support group. So yeah - 2008 was fucking weird dude, but whatever its over - 2009 is going to be way better. I can already feel it. No fucking drama and FUCK THE STRESS.
2009 Predictions: Falcons will have a winning season (breaking the streak), Dawgs will play well under Joe Cox & win the SEC after Tebow pulls a Tom Brady and gets beheaded on the first drive of this season, Still Flyin' will become a household name, Ozzy will get his nards removed, Laura will GRADUATE(!!!), and more things that even top this shit. Some stuff i know, some i dont. So fuck yeah 2009, lets party.
Record lists coming soon.
