Cue the violin, please...
This past year has been quite a strange and emotional one for me.
I became an uncle for the first time, went to the Oscars, got engaged, got a new job, ended my engagement, moved out of our apartment, went into a deep depression, wrote more songs than I know what to do with and had sex with Catwoman on Halloween night.
But through it all, and I'm not sure why, I've found solice here. I've posted some personal stuff here, I've posted some stupid stuff here and I've posted some baseball stuff here. This is a smart website with good people who all have the same thing in common... Their love for ProTools.
I'm grateful for Kerble. Thanks a ton, man... you know why.
I'm grateful for Bradley R. WhiteSoxfan. Outstanding baseball and beyond posts! Hilarious.
I'm grateful to have a site where smart dialog and differing opinions can be had and respected between strangers.
It's been a weird year. Here's to hoping next year's even weirder.
A quick electrical.com reflection here which underscores how cool the people on here are...
The night I moved out of the apartment I shared with my then fiancee and moved into my new place, I sat down and just started typing. The reality that my engagement was over was starting to sink in. When I finished, what I had written made me sob like Nancy Kerrigan after a well-deserved flogging. My finger hovered over the "Submit" button for a bit, as I was unsure how that post would be received. I said, "Fuck it," and submitted it.
The support I received from that posting will never be forgotten. I was fully expecting, "You pussy!" responses, but I got honest support that helped me more than you'll ever know. I'm grateful for that. I'm saddened I went back the next morning and deleted the post.
Thanks all. Have a great New Year's. It's Christmas now... must start wrapping my presents.
