So this sexy punk chick, has harassed me into blogging. So for my first time I feel it fitting being the begining of the year to do a brif recap of 2013.. radical i know.
With the end of the unlucky 13 or lucky depending on your disposition, I find myself relieved and saddened to see it's passing. I pride myself on winning and as a Scorpio i kind of need to win. For many people who witnessed my year, they would view it as a winning year, after all taking off 5 months to surf the west coast of North America and hit up some of my fav music festivals including seeing some legendary artists like, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney how could it not be. That part was pretty amazing. To be able to spend a few months traveling and camping along beaches and being that close to the ocean...wicked.
13 was also a transitional year, work, adventure time, debauchery, with a plan of finally moving to an ocean which was squashed by an opportunity (that I took) to switch from blue collar to white. I was recruited by a company for my intelligence, honesty and my integrity only to find that there was non of the later two to be found in the industry I had chosen to enter. I was now working with fake people who's only motivation in life was financial gain no matter the cost. I was naive to think it would have been different. Going to work each day and wanting to vomit on them rather then shake their hands wears on a guy. So a mistake in direction? yes. One I am working on correcting and looking forward to walking a winning path once more... a truer path.
It's hard to do a full recap since i am running on no sleep and it's 9:24am. I haven't touched on so much but I am going to end this here. More to fallow once i have recovered from all the boozing this holiday season... and this strep throat.
