Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything or said anything. In fact, I checked my Deviations for the first time a long time and found I had over 1000 unviewed Deviations. Yikes. And I really haven't drawn anything recently either. Also Yikes. Not good.

Well, my father had his back surgery back in February, and they fused his spine together and all that, but a few weeks afterwards they found he had had a blood clot in his leg from being down for so long and it had traveled up to his heart and into his pulmonary arteries, so they did an emergency open heart surgery on him, took his heart out cleaned out the major clots, and sewed him back up. He actually shouldn't have survived the incident, but he did and now a few months later his is up and at 'em, taking daily walks, swimming, hiking, working on cars and in the yard, etc. No longer lifting incredibly heavy objects (though that would have been for the best anyhow) he is on his way towards recovery. YAY DAD!

I now work at a local waterpark as a lifeguard, which is sort of fun, and it's giving me a wicked tan, with the equally wicked awkward tan lines from the one piece suit, but oh well. Now that the fourth of July is over, as well as all of the drunken brawls in the wave pool, in the parking lot, in the river, at the counter, the people trying the break into cars, steal cars, steal cash boxes, set fire to the field next door, near drownings and concussions, the rest of the summer should be fairly relaxing. Yay.

However, my family and I are all headed out to San Francisco for a few days, which will be the first time I've been since the 5th grade, so if anyone has some suggestions on places to visit and see or things to do I'd be very appreciative.

On a brief tangent, has it just been me, but has anyone else noticed all the crazy deaths and accidents and such going on this summer? Maybe I just never noticed them before, but you had all those celebrities die on the same day, Billy Mayz (OXYCLEAN!), serial killers in S.C., a close friend of mine lost both of her parents to a homicide-suicide, plane crashes losing hundreds of lives, etc. It feels like the world has gone mad all of a sudden...Maybe I've just finally grown up?

Well, I think that's it.

Yes.

Well, Ta-ta!
