Maybe ripping off Coulton there, but it's not like he's got a trademark on the phrase itself. Anyways, life is pretty fantastic, even with the hurdles I am facing. Old, good friends have gotten back in touch with me, and I've got music out the wazoo to keep me going too. Figured it was just time to push out that old journal. Even though I am a huge, huge Summoning fan now. It's kind of funny, my tastes keep developing, but some bands I hit on I just can't get enough of. Black metal, death metal, doom metal, thrash metal, power metal, folk metal, symphonic metal; all awesome awesome genres, each with their own specialness. Before I go on rambling about music though, I just wanted to blab to no one about how good things are. Despite all the crap, and all the shit I see happen, and hear about, it doesn't get me down. Goes with having a thick hide! *chuckles* But, yeah, I feel good, and life is great, I look forward to many more years of this all. Belief has been hard for me, I sometimes find myself slipping into nihilism, and thinking there is nothing after this life but oblivion. But, when your prayers get answered, it's hard not to have that belief rekindled. And it's just a little bit more amusing for me when I tell people I'm, gay, a furry, and religious. Definitely gets their head turning.

I'll leave you with some fucking awesome metal: Ensiferum doing a Manowar cover.
