From these ashes....

Well...it's been a while.

In a few weeks I am about to embark on the next chapter of my life. 2009.

As I look at this past year, a feeling of accomplishment, no of gratitude, washes over me. God took me out of a position and placed me on a different path in life. I have done what I thought was never possible. I have lept off the precipice of sanity and logic and have been caught in the net of fortune and fate.

I have made the insane moves. The daring risks. I stepped out the boat in the middle of the storm. I let go of my fears of failure and spiders. I now live on my own. I thought I would never escape the grasps of the woman who raised me, but ultimately, killed me.

I was heart broken by the same person who I would have, at the time, sacrificed it all for. My mom and I no longer speak as much. My dad and I are now in contact. I am planning to visit him this January. My heart is taken by somebody. She's the awesomest. And I am glad God put her in my life. Again. My friends are a total new breed of people.

I own a blackberry. While I resent the fact that I assume the look and demeanor of other corporate peons flicking their thumbs over glowing trackballs checking personal emails amid the morning commute, it nonetheless makes me feel...cool? In the now? My balanced personality prevents me from swaying right or left on the issue. Also because my job pays for it. So...booyah.

I have come to hate cursing. Helps that the people in my inner circle despise it with a passion, but also I found my vocabulary. I also sing. Wow. Me? Apparently someone thought I had a tenor tone, and put me on the choir. So now, every saturday...I am up there belting it out in rehearsal.

This blog was somehow started out to voice my gripes with the corporate world, and being a low level leech in the midst of that, but somehow, through personal circumstances, my position, vision, and way of life has been elevated from that....
