i don't know what to make of 2009. but i can say it was a "night and day" kind of year, personally speaking. the year looked bright to begin with and things fell into place just enough to show me that maybe my patience has paid off. the times we nice, not great, but nice. the roman empire was not built in one day. i knew it would take time. but the unfortunate thing is that buldings fall to the floor much faster than they are built. this was the case for my 2009. i had a foundation of great people surounding my life. my building was growing and got stronger as it got taller. in the second half of the year, the base of the buliding was chopped and it came down crashing. after the dust settles, the remains of what constructed the building are uncovered. all the little pieces you just can't seem to let go of. memories scattered and hopes crushed.
as we live these last few days of 2009, i look at the road that got me here. i will not regret the choices i've made. and fittingly i say that i also look at the last decade. it was been a very long 10 years. moving on forward, i must keep to continue my learning. this may be the best time for me to do so. not only is this my new year, this is also my own new decade to make moves. i've had many people walk in and out and in and back out of my life in the last thirty years. all that matters now to me are the ones that are in my life now and keeping them. i can't be concerned anymore for the ones that decide to walk out, like i always have. one thing i'm having a hard time with is letting go. that's what comes with having a heart full of faith, love, and patience.
getting here is just as important as how we got here. i will learn from the ongoing mistakes i make and become wiser. to all the loved ones in my life and to all of you that make my life wonderful, just know that i will one day make you all proud, especially YOU. getting back to basics is important to me right now. the dust is settling, and the time is nearing when i begin to rebuild once again.
merry christmas to all. love life, laugh hard, and live like it's your last day.

Yeah my dude, this year was bad for me.
yo man. thanks for always following my stuff. working on a big project and i will not forget how awesome your photos always come out. i may call on you if i need fellow photgraphers to come on board. keep shooting man. photography is one thing no one can take away from you. and about your bad year, learn from it. mine ended with a severely broken spirit. keep growing homes. peace.
Time heals dude. Sounds cliche to say, but I was there too. Became a drunk, got a DUI, didn't eat, didn't sleep. I am at peace with her now but it took a while. Shit will get better...and this is assuming we're talking about the same thing. Time being...do what you do best...and shoot some photos.
