Like many others, 2013 beat the hell out of me and pissed in my mouth. I watched the only person in my family I'm close to crippled by a stroke. I watched my step-dad go from one of the strongest, smartest, funniest guys I know to a bald skeleton and die in less than two months, thanks to cancer. I spent the first half of the year drunk, broke, and hating myself. The few bright spots (getting a job I actually enjoy, staying sober) were pretty much overwhelmed by all the bullshit. But hell, there's nothing to do but try to pick up the pieces and hope 2014 is less of a dick year.
