I've put this off for as long as I could...

Let me first start by saying that I won't be on for a while because semester is over. I'll be back in the spring, more or less.

Beyond that I can't really think of anything.

So here's to the shitty part.

On the 12th of May, just a day before my mom's birthday, my dad had what I take to be a massive heart attack and is sadly no longer with us any longer. Anymore it doesn't hurt to say it. It's all just words until I get to the messy emotional stuff that goes along with losing your provider and father figure of 14 years. The whole depression, self- as well as outward destructiveness, rage, denial, self-pity, [Insert negative emotional states here]? THAT'S the part that's scaring me.

Ironically enough, now I don't need to think of a way to come out to him anymore.

But I gotta go.

so for those of you falling in love
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
throw yourself in the midst of danger
and keep one eye open at night.
