Happy New Year!!! It's been a while since I've been on FA - as I've been very busy with work and a small issue I had with the wonderful folks at the Internal Revenue Service (The issue was resolved in November). I wished I had been here more often, but now as things have improved, I hope to be here more often. I hope all of ya are well, and enjoying the art being made by  DJ-Rodney and  lukasartair. I hope to post more journals later on. I've been down for almost a week since the unexpected death of one of my musical 'heroes' David Bowie. He showed us how to live our lives the way we want and to not conform - to be yourself. For that - we were so blessed to have a man like David Bowie. The last six months have thought me something quite clear - ya can't avoid death and the IRS - so, enjoy yer life fully. Peace - 'Joe the Bear' Goria. Song of the moment - David Bowie "Moonage Daydream" from "Ziggy Stardust" - also on "The Guardians of The Galaxy" soundtrack
