August 18th, 2009: Heya everyone...

Rarely ever do I make journals anymore, as much as I used to...but, I just wanted to make one to thank everyone, each and every one of my friends for everything. For just being there, being my friends, for all the support and kind words and such...and always being by my side...it truly means a lot to me.

Today's my 20th birthday...and today, I just really wanted to reflect a bit on all the friends I've made over the past several years both here and from NSider. Without you guys, definitely wouldn't be here at all, so I appreciate everything from the bottom of my heart. Through the good times, through the bad times...when I needed someone to talk to or just be close with...you've all always been there, and it just means the world to me.

"In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair
Will you still care? Will you be there?
In my trials and my tribulations
Through our doubts and frustrations
In my violence, in my turbulence
Through my fear and my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I'll never let you part, for you're always in my heart"--Michael Jackson, Will You Be There?

That part of MJ's song reminds me so much of my friends and everyone that's been there for me all this time...especially through my recent tough times I've been experiencing of sadness and anguish. Holds a lot of meaning and significance to me, and just...well, just wanted to shout out my thanks to all of you. For everything. I love each and every one of you.

Stay cool guys, peace.

-I'll probably push this entry out of the way in a day or two so the journal won't drag out so long on my page-

August 14th, 2008: Heya everyone. Just wanted to let ya'll know I'm going on vacation downstate to Long Beach Island starting this upcoming Saturday the 16th and ending on Sunday the 24th. There's a beach house my mom's friend's renting out to us for cheaper than it usually is. It'll be my first...and most likely last...real vacation of this summer. So yeah, I won't be around until like the 25th or the 26th or so. My 19th birthday's this upcoming Monday so I should be enjoying myself down there, unlike last year's birthday I had.

Take care guys, and see ya'll when I get back. XP

-----------------News-----------------

Hate to break it to everyone here, but this morning I learned that my uncle passed away in his sleep last night due to complications with type-1 diabetes. His death shocked us all and we are mourning the tragic loss of a wonderfully great guy who touched our hearts in more ways than one. Right now I really need some time to think, as this has come at a truly bad time in our lives. So, I just wanted to let everyone know here that although I'm not taking a break from dA or anything, I may or may not be online within the next several days due to this. May depend when I can actually get online.

Thank you for your understanding.

God Bless you, Uncle Bob. You will never be forgotten, ever. Thank you for everything you've ever done for us, from the bottom of our hearts, and may you have the best St. Patty's Day a man could ever ask for up there in Heaven. Love ya.
