Last May, I started this blog with the intent to get my life together.

The whole purpose was to take an assessment of what I've done and who I am. The goal was to have a life that I can lead and look up and feel good about. That was why I started this.

After I lost my job in May last year, I never posted again. What transpired over the course of the next 10 months was me getting a job and going back to the drudge. Nothing really changed, just the location.

Things now have changed and I think it's time to reconsider this long forgotten blog.

Over the course of the last week I've laid waste to my entire world.
Relationship of 5 years. Gone.
Home with all of it's amenities. Gone.
Money. Going to a car so I have a place to start.

All I have left are the friends I've accrued over the years, a semi-popular webcomic that amuses me frequently, and a collection of places to stay until I can find a place of my own.

To fufill our dreams and find our destinies, it seems that one way of doing that would be to start at the beginning. A hard reset. It's not the easiest thing in this life to do, and it is probably very horrible for your stomach and state of well being (basing that solely on the amount of Tums I've gone through the past few weeks), but that doesn't change the fact that here I sit on the precipice of nothing with a forest of mountains to climb. At the top, I hope I'll find not only myself, but the dreams I've abdicated for so long.

For all the cliche in the world, I have to believe that today is the first day of the rest of my life. It's a lot better than thinking that this is the first day of the end of it.
