What's up. I'm back for one more time this year to talk about how shitty it's been. The year started off with my grandpa dying at the end of January. A week later, FMX rider Jeremy Lusk died. A great way to start off the year, eh? Well as my parents and my grandma who stayed over night after visiting the hospital for a falling problem (just to add more into the year) got into bed, I went down here to the good old stress reliever to try to moto out the day seeing that I got my copy of MvA Unleashed. Well, I got on Facebook, only to see a post from Avenged Sevenfold, my favorite band. I see something about The Rev, and I looked away for a second thinking it was an album update from none other than him. Then I see that he is dead.
This year has been shitty at best. Sure it's had its high points, but those were few and far between. Many people have been lost this year that were close to my heart. My family has been having a rough year too, with medical ailments being the topic of the year for us. My dad almost died back in March, so he was one that we were able to pull back.
Back to The Rev, Jimmy was one of the coolest guys that I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see him and his skills live in concert, but I've seen many videos and DVDs of him doing what he does best. I've also seen him at his funniest. He was a really cool guy, and 28 is too young for anyone like him to be taken from us. Hopefully, he has his own Little Piece of Heaven up there right now with the big guy. I thought it was almost creepy the way that worked out though. A Little Piece of Heaven was the first song that was entirely written by him and put on one of Avenged's albums. It's weird to me that the song is named that then two years later he's gone. But that's how life works I guess. As I've figured out this year, that is how it is and it really sucks.
To end, it seems that generally everyone has had a bad year, or atleast the people I know. It's been a rough one. I feel really bad for the rest of Avenged though, because they said a month ago that the new album would be darker due to them having such a shitty year. There is no way that this helps at all. I know it didn't help my year any. It's just that I felt that I was out of this dark valley and now it just becomes more and more of a walk. Check out the song Fall Back Down by Rancid. It best describes the year in my opinion. Like they say, "Don't worry bout me, I'm gonna make it alright". They also say "I've had a bad year, a lot to go through, I've been beat down knocked down, black and blue..." Those are the words that symbolize my year. All I can hope for is a good '010. I can't see how it can be much worse than this year, but tomorrow's a mystery, so we'll see. Until 2010, later party ppl.
