I had a dream, but now the dream is gone

For all it's practical applications and purposes, this forum of expression is mostly used as a medium to impose views and values on the reader. It can be in the form of a glossy opinion of what she wore last night, it can be a link to an article or video found favorable (or unfavorable) by the owner, it can be opinionated and researched material that analyses current events, and it can be random shit and poorly formulated thoughts. But they all share that same quality. The will to communicate those thoughts to an audience, however small it may be.

Happy New Year!

Let's make it a good one. 2010 was a series of highs and lows, in no particular order:

*Warrior football, and everything about it.

*Having my boys come visit me in good, ole CT. Thanks again guys.

*Inception.

*Blowing my knee out.

*Meeting so many more people my last semester in the US. Unbelievable.

*Discovering the Caucasian.

*And the American.

*Sildajazz.

*Losing my grandma.

*Getting a foot in the door for rigging.

And I'm grateful for all my friends and family. Happy new year to all of you!
