"So... where the **** have YOU been?!?"

Actually... nowhere. I haven't felt like posting anything in a while, simply because it was either:

a.) Not very interesting.

b.) Evil (like my wife's car being stolen, then recovered 2 months later... only to have to fight the insurance company to keep it).

c.) Depressing (like a death in the family).

d.) Political (I ****ing HATE politics... so hearing about the latest atrocity perpetrated by Washington tends to make my blood boil a bit more than normal).

...so I've basically stayed away to keep my life from dragging everyone else into my misery.

Fortunately, the year is now over, so I have some things to look forward to... like our son's reaction to the fact that my wife bought a Wii for Christmas (which she is saving for Little Christmas in 4 days)...

...or beating GTA III (which I finally picked up, having borrowed a copy from a friend; after I gave it back, I picked up the full GTA trilogy set w/ "Vice City" and "San Andreas"), which could take a while (not really the kind of game I enjoy... which may spark a later blog... hmmm...)...

...or writing about some new bands I've found (if you're a metalhead, go find Dirge Within's debut album "Force Fed Lies" NOW... if not, check out Creed's new album "Full Circle," one of the best rock albums I've heard in a long time)...

...or just easing myself back into the flow of life on GS.

That is all. Have a great year, and I hope you had a great Christmas. :D
