This Year, Stuff Will Get Real

New Year Tidings to All!

This year, I have decided that I'm sick of just complaining to my friends about stuff I don't like.  (That's not entirely true because complaining is wonderful and everyone needs to do it since it is a healthy release of all hostility...until you end up punching someone).  So, I'm going to start complaining more about stuff here.  Not complaining necessarily, but giving my opinion more.  I haven't been overly opinionated about important things, like the economy, and politics, and movies, and I figured, if anyone is going to listen, it's going to be my friends and those who are foolish enough to end up in this vast wasteland area of the Interwebs.

So.  It's a new year!  And to start the new year, I decided that old me must be broken, so I can be reborn during this 2013th anniversary of the orbit around the Sun.  (I think that's what this is all about...I don't know...).  So.  I broke my humerus.  Yes, make your humorous jokes now, I've heard them all.  And I've said them all as well.  But yeah...turns out, ice is slippery and when you are 6'3" and on skates, you become 6'7" and that fall is just entirely that much worse.

So I'm in a sling for about 6 more weeks, which is great because school just started!  And it's on my dominant hand!  So my writing is painful and gross looking!  But, alas, these are the cards I have been dealt. So I will play them (hope it's Go Fish!!!).

In other exciting news, I just bought A Memory of Light (AMOL) for short!  For those of you not familiar with this book, it is the conclusion to Robert Jordan's great fantasy epic The Wheel of Time.  And it's a bit intense.  Not for the faint of heart.  But you should totally read them if you have a decent amount of free time you wish to commit.  Because I have been reading these books rather consistently (I had about a year and a half off to wait for new releases) since sophomore year of high school.  That's six years of my life reading one series.  But it's entirely worth it.

So yeah.  Stuff's about to get real this year.  Goodbye, nonsensical delusional Brian.  Hello confrontational and unnecessarily angry Brian.

Until the Next Rant,
Brian
