looking back 10 years from now I'll probably remember a buddy of mine that killed himself a few months ago. I will never understand why people do shit like that

JawnDiablo - 1-1-2012 at 12:54 PM

allow me to redo this one.
2011 started off for me like a bad country song.
No job, destroyed my car in the snow, owed shit tons of money to stuff, and other ill shit
in the year I managed to:
-get a new job, which ended up being better than the last one in several ways.
-got a new car...last one got smeared in the snow and was barely getting me into work to the new job.
-kicked a pill habit (yeah I guess I am out of the closet with this one now, but let me tell ya, they make it easy to get fucked on this shit with the way they are quick to throw -this shit at you for any ailment anymore)
-TCOB all of the shit with my son as his mom started fucking up again....won't even get into this
-Went to California for a week.
-got engaged.
- New Sheer Terror record......big deal to me at least.
-reconnected with people I had cut off and pleased they have straightened out. one who just got released from a 7 year prison sentence who i haven't spoken to in 10 years.
-Nobody ODed this year (common cause of death here) and I didn't have to go to any funerals.
-might have figured out a few things

a good year for JuanDiablo......oh yeah I changed my name...how gay of me

pissing away my savings on recording and releasing records.

New Sheer Terror 7" and I finally got to see them live and meet Paulie. Other than that, nothing all that notable happened for me this year.

a new job and getting some sanity back in my life.

XnMeX - 1-1-2012 at 10:53 PM

Pretty obvious for me but more importantly...

Seeing my dads face in my sons face the first time they held him up.. He passed away when I was 13 and this hit me hard. I'm man enough to admit it made me cry like a bitch.

Fuck this was a tough year a lot of ups and downs but I finally figured out a lot of shit and better ways to deal with it then i had in the past and be a bit less self destructive. And i met a new girl and things are looking pretty good for 2012.

A lot of really crappy things happened last year, but I like to try to put one foot infront of the other and look at the positive.

Losing my gram was tough, but being able to actually say good bye to her and tell her some things I was never able to tell my gramps helped calm some of my inner demons.

My niece Cora was born, this brought my brother back into my life after about 10 years of not being able to hold a conversation with him with out it turning into a huge fight.

Figured out somethings I want in life... I think 2012 is going to be a good one.

the end of 2010 begingin of 2011 was a blur,
but lets see
met a woman who can put up with my shit, thinks I am actually a decent human being, and I somehow make her as happy as she makes me
got my son back full time
moved outta new orleans and to birmingham with the woman
filled the papers and just waiting for the judge to sign my freedom for the evil ex
went on the first vacation I have been on in 6 years

Birth of my second child.(He's 6 months old today!)
Finally putting in the hard physical work to get in shape with the knowledge to back it up.
Finding a hole in the wall Bando kickboxing gym and getting started with it.
First child started kindergarten.

Some real big stuff, some not real huge stuff... it was a good year. I'm looking to make 2012 big in other ways. Lose so flab, build some muscle, put in the hard work and dedication to get decent with kickboxing and maybe fight in a tournament... and add all that to the martial arts I've been doing for years and years. Hopefully work will pick up and we'll also get a couple legit hustles going on the side to supplement.

Fuck yeah, dude! Congrats. Everything is easier to do when you are lighter. I realized this the other day when I was moving my practice space. When I was 50 lbs heavier I couldn't even shag my ex without needing a break or thinking of Taco Bell.

BKT - 1-2-2012 at 03:08 PM

The birth of my daughter who was my first child. Not too much else can be said after that.

BKT.

^^^^ You dropped it, but I picked it up for ya. Here, ya lost something BD. Today, I work out. Going to drop the weight. Not because of some stupid new years BS, but because I feel like shit anymore. My mood it wrecked and needs repair.

clevohardcore - 1-2-2012 at 07:56 PM

O ya, saw CLUTCH for the first time.

From everything I've seen on Facebook and in the various media surveys, it seems like a lot of folks had a crappy 2011. Mine certainly started out that way. But then I quit drinking, met an incredible woman, started writing again, started learning guitar and mandolin, grew a pair and finally started performing solo, watched my daughter make dean's list in her first semester of college (not to mention test out of most of her Freshman requirements), moved out of the shithole I was left to deal with in February, and generally came back from a very very dark place in my mind. I'm going to be making up for a lot of lost and wasted time this year.

Congrats to everyone for the births, engagements, weight loss, and all of the other accomplishments you've made in the last year. I hope the best of your 2011 is the worst of your 2012.
