Hey everyone,

I just wanted to apologize for my being so quiet lately. Things at school are piling up and things have not been getting any easier what so ever.

First, this quarter, I have had more work thrown in my face than any other quarter at college. I have to read about 14 books for 1 fucking paper and that is only for one class, I still have 2 others that demand the same amount of time and energy.

On top of that, my father has been driven TWICE to the hospital where he has had intestinal infections and acute bronchitis.

And to top it all off, the cherry on the shit cake, my dear cousin (age 31) is dying of cancer. He has 2 little boys (a little less then 2 years old) and a wife, and he does not have much longer to do. I live in LA and he lives in Napa, so when he does leave this world I have to drop everything and swing up north to be with family. Somehow, however, we are enduring as best we can.

To those who were wondering, this is where Ive been. As soon as this quarter ends and things calm down, I will try my ever loving best to be more active and happy go lucky. Thanks for reading.
