Drama comes in waves.

Tidal waves.

Someone I knew from church died this morning. Jared decided today would be a good day to headbutt his girlfriend and smash her nose (Effectively ending the 15 year friendship between me and Jared, some things are unforgivable).

6 months and nearly 40 pounds later I'm down to 174 pounds.
