i lost my virginity: to a girl i loved under the worst and funniest conditions. boxcar-style!
stats: 5 ft 10 in 130 lb
most humbling moment: realising i'm not as smart as people think i am.
makes me happy: perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. i mean fucking perfect. that chill you get from some tunes. playing/hiking with my dogs. goofing around with friends. great conversations/arguments.

makes me sad: the fact that people everywhere are starving and that i work at a place where throwing away 10 percent of the food i make is praise-worthy.
fantasy: drawing someone nude, and so on. in real life, though, i'd get into the drawing part way too much and forget the fantasy.

In many ways this year has been extremely challenging for both me and my family. My faith and confidence was definitely shaken. Self-doubt and doubt in others became a normal thing. Through it all, though, we stayed together, broken relationships were reconciled, and those with health problems (myself included) found solutions. Deep-seated issues/delusions were brought out into the open and finally dealt with all across the board. Definitely a year of challenges, but well worth it considering the lessons learned.
The new year will be an exciting one. I can really feel it, and I haven't had that feeling in who knows how long. So, I know it's real. Good things are happening all around.
Blessings,
Ray.
