Thank you. It felt right to begin this entry on this day with those 2 words. I mean it in a vast, endless, universal way. That statement of gratitude is for every soul that has crossed paths with mine or united alongside me in a...
Happy New Year 2016! Here we go again. Happy New Year 2016! We’re coming into the 7th year since “Blind Thirst”, 3rd since “Tomorrow Never Came”, and 2nd since “Point of Infliction”. Time flies, but in that time I’ve grown so much as a person....
