So the year is 1/3 over

Not as bad as last year. Late 2011-2012, so many ing deaths in my personal life.

This year has gone ridiculously fast so far. Feels like it should be February.

My year's been great. Doing great in my career. My baby boy is a healthy 13 months old. And I have a beautiful marriage. The one thing that does make me a bit sad is that work/life is starting to see my closest friends and I grow apart. I'm trying my hardest to change that.

The good moments:
- Went to my 1st WWE event
- Got a pay rise
- Saw some old friends

Bad moments:
- My great uncle has lung cancer, expected to live for 3 months, me and him are like best mates as we share the same love of family guy and the Simpsons
- Shaved the beard

-Turned 20
-working full time
-Still going to school though constantly second guessing if I want to keep pursuing this major
-Constant stress and fear about getting a career in the future
-Crush on a girl since the end of December whose unavailable

The year hasn't been terrible but I definitely need to work on getting my crap together soon.

My year is going good so far. I'm now enrolled at Kent State University, I've lost a bunch of weight, and I saw The Black Keys live.

I cant complain about my life.

There has been a thorn in my side for years now. Something too personal to mention on here. Something I've been working on for a while now but still havnt acomplished. Something that, sadly, I've learned to live with.

Other than that it's all been good.

my 2013 life has kinda been "meh". ive been struggling with my depression ALOT. most, if not all of it stems from my job. first it was 'just' the people i work with that stared to really bug me, now its the work, my co-workers, my boss, my boss's boss, EVERYTHING. its just a big cloud of negativity that eats me up. ive already used up ALL of my vacation time and sick days for the entire year, just trying to keep myself in good spirits.

a couple of years ago, just about all of my friends were arrested and are now on probation, ever since they got arrested i havent heard a word from any of them. i hear through mutual friends that they are out partying and having a good ol time-just without me.....so thats always fun to hear....

my dog just turned 12 in december and he is starting to get to the end of his rope. his back legs are getting very weak and he is having trouble moving around in general.

my car is an absolute piece of garbage. it needs about $5000 worth of work to it, but sadly i do not have that kind of money and each week that it doesnt get professionally worked on it just gets worse and worse.

my dad is suffering with COPD and it seems to be getting worse and worse.

i guess there is a little light at the end of the tunnel though. last year in august[?] we had a close relative pass away and they left us some nice treasure, so we are waiting on everything to clear in the courts and we will have a little something to fall back on, but each day getting there is like plodding through fields of mental barbedwire

the year is going pretty well for me. My life is pretty much on-track.


Pros
-Had a good semester, about to end my third post-secondary year and most likely can pull another 4.0 if I perform well on next week's finals
-late April 2013 was my 1 year anniversary of losing (and keeping off) 110 pounds
-Little nephew is healthy and happy and over a year old and is starting to run around and do a lot of 'fun' stuff (can't wait till wrestlers are age appropriate! we'll play jakks cena vs. orton all day)
-I have a consistent every weekend-and-summer-job that will put a little bit of money in my pocket, most likely for the occasional 360 game and expensive organic foods
-Stregnth-wise, I'm stronger than I've ever been and have an awesome plan for the summer that hopefully will take me to the next level
-With the whole weight-loss thing, I have become a million times more socially comfortable.. I have a lot more friends and get out of my apartment a lot more
-^ I've actually gotten a couple of my new dude friends back into wrestling! I watched 'mania with a group of guys. I'm always a PPV alone-or-with-parents kind of guy.



Cons
-I'm still a bit overweight, floating lately up towards 220 pounds. A little doughy around the middle. I want to get down to a relatively jacked 6'2'' and 200 lbs with that Dolph Ziggler-esque athletic physique. I got all the way down to 205 last summer but slowly drifted up to this point after New Years, Easter, and a few epic encounters with pizza.
-The two girls who have expressed interest in me over the past semester are not my type.
-I need to take a summer class in order to stay on track to graduate.. not bad but it's a 3 hour class with a notoriously tough prof.
-My car is old with crappy gas mileage and is going to take a lot of money to commute an hour to college twice a week.
-Job market and economy woes. I have a year left. Then it's out to the real world.
-seems like a lot of my hometown friends are going to be doing internships and stuff.
-My biggest downer.. my aunt has cancer and is being taken care of by my 82 year old grandmother. it's obviously super rough on both of them.

Been a pretty rough first third of the year for me, too many things to go into right now, but I'm hanging in there.
