FINALLY!

Finally got a car of my own today. The title/registration passes into my hands tomorrow.

Things are finally looking up. Had to go down to the very, very bottom for that to happen, but that can actually be very refreshing.

Like when they make you into a soldier, by breaking you into little pieces and forcing you to become something better. Like burning sand to make glass.

The new Americorps program begins in a few weeks, and I'm really excited about it. I'm just about as motivated about this as I was about the Reserve. I'm actually getting my shit together. It took me a while, but its happening.

I'm writing again, exercising heavily again, spending more time with my family, and even hobby modeling again.

Its difficult to be positive, to not wait for the other shoe to drop, since that's my basic personality. I'm trying. I will succeed. I can't be stopped.

Warriors never quit.
