I was on a week long vacation, had a ton of fun with family, and I have to say Happy New Year to everyone in the CH community!

I certainly WILL NOT miss part of 2016, June 30th I lost my Dad to a heart-attack. It was a REALLY F*ed up year!!! At least the election cycle went my way.. and THE CUBBIES WON the World Series... HOLY COW INDEED...

It took my 6 months to finally get my head together and get focused on working again, oh yeah I forgot to mention that because My head was in the gutter, I couldn't show up on time to work, so I was fired (with the option of being rehired) but I needed half a year to really sort stuff out, I also lost my apt, I'm at a friends house in the meantime... Until it warms up again, I'll have to put up living in a flippin' basement.

I know that that was a lot of personal stuff to disclose but I have to vent it out somewhere

I honestly HOPE TO GOD 2017 isn't a massive everyone I know passing away kind of year.. for ONE YEAR I'd like to NOT have to attend a family members funeral.

My message from My perspective of what MIGHT have saved my Dad's life, take your prescription pills.. Extend your life a little bit more, just flat out refusing didn't help my Dad it won't help you... So if you OR a relative are stubborn as a mule about pills... Just remind yourself/them that DYING SUCKS WAY MORE than having to pop pills. My Father was cremated, my Other family members never had the chance to see him one last time in body form, he was in a 4"x10" ash box, it was HIS WILL not to have a traditional funeral but a celebration of life party with Dean Martin era music, and whatever else he listened to..

So here's to 2017! May it be one heck of a GLORIOUS YEAR, it will be one epic day Jan 20th Sorry but I DID NOT WANT TRUMP, I voted for GOV.Kasich in the primaries. BUT in the interests of NOT WANTING Another Clinton era, I voted for Mr. Trump, I want the Republican party united in tearing OBAMACARE APART, except the 26 year old extension & pre-existing conditions thing... everything else can GO AWAY.. the FINES ARE CHEAPER than the coverage!!! Affordable healthcare, MY FOOT..
