Hi! You might remember me, I’m the guy whose journal you’re reading. The guy with the camera. Good looking paperbag… yeah, that guy. It’s been a long time and my message centre seemed to be quite annoyed when I logged in again. 4,764 deviations, 1,080 messages and 2 kicks in he bowels, I mean notes. I am very… very tempted to press the Remove All button at some areas, but I try to restrain myself. Several hundreds of journals… hey, could be worse.

So, let’s catch up, since it’s been a while. How have you all been? I’m eager to hear. Me? Oh well, let’s see, when did I write the last journal? November 5th, 2006? Ouch, that’s been quite a while. Looks like Lucy got some ‘splaining to do. Well, here we go.

The end of the last year has been quite… busy. Work for once, some personal affair as well and don’t forget that it was that festive season. And just when you thought it was all over, comes the rain again. Work, personal affairs, some very personal stuff I won’t go in here, a dying router and all that jazz. The past weeks just haven’t been that nice and thrilling as they could’ve been. To sum it up in one word: Life. Yes, life. Don’t do this at home kids.

But then there was last Friday. Class reunion. Lots of sweet memories and we were having a ball. To be frank, I didn’t have that much fun in… quite a long time. Usually only at my once-weekly rpg-sessions. (Just at the moment we don’t get to meet up all together for several reasons.) On Saturday I realized something I had forgotten for some time. I need stuff like that, for it prevents me from going crazy and/or end up as a depressive what-so-ever. In worst case… I might become… Emo. And none of us would like that. Sun- and Monday were filled with enthusiasm and power. I managed to work on some things, which were long overdue. (Excluding my *cough* tax report.) They were even showing a good movie at the Sneak Preview night (Stranger Than Fiction). But of course, I got my downer later, when I logged into dA a hour ago. But so far, I don’t intend to let myself go down with it. Hell no. I’ve been through worse within the last few weeks. (You don’t need to fully understand that, just a little venting.)

Now, what will I do from here on? Continue of course. Get more stuff done. After some things are rolling again, I should do a shooting or two, maybe even finish a painting. We’ll see.

So much things to do and so little time. Which brings me to another point. I need an assistant. Someone who helps me organize my life and to some of the smaller things. Volunteers? Females preferred .

Now, that was a little more personal than usual. Don't worry, not my new style. Regular journal coming up the next time.
