Peace On Earth

Posted in Site News at 8:13 am

Good morning, everyone.

It’s kind of strange to think that over this past year or so things have changed so much for me. I’ve been inundated with a kind of chaos that, when it hasn’t driven me crazy, has been probably the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Despite everything bad that happened to me this year, I have to admit that 2006 is when I got to do some things that I realistically never thought I’d do. Some of them were obvious, like go to E3 or work for a video game company (sort of). Others were a little more mundane, like lose weight or move back to Western Pennsylvania. Overall, it’s safe to assume that this year was pretty good.

I realize, of course, how lucky I’ve been to have the chances and circumstances that I did. And I am very grateful for that. I think that that’s what’s most important– to recognize the good that’s happened to you and to realize that, while most of the time it’s a result of hard work on your part, every once in a while something happens that you just can’t control or count on. I have had a very hard time learning that lesson, but I’m still working on it.

In any event, no matter what holiday you celebrate these next few weeks (or have been celebrating), I wish you all the best and hope that your coming year is as full of hope and success as you need it to be. Please be safe.
