Blogging Is Fun Again

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back.

I didn't really have time to do any kind of writing from last Wednesday, when I learned of my grandmother's passing, until now. In fact, I really don't have a lot of time to do anything special tonight, but I started to feel bad letting Ramble On be neglected, however justifiable the reasons.

I want to post some reflections, some more photos, and some goofy things when I get the chance. I want to write actual stories again. I want to be able to pick up my guitar at will and be able to start penning some songs. I want to have the time to do all this (and I probably don't), but if I manage myself well enough, I can make it happen.

One thing that this past weekend gave me was a newfound zeal for taking advantage of all the opportunities I have, right here and right now. In addition to a sense of acceptance and a time to grieve, I also took away a renewed sense of family. My mother's side of the clan is so huge that there's never going to be an occasion for everyone to be in the same place again, but I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with more of my aunts, uncles, and cousins as time goes on. And as always is the case with family, you have to take the good with the not-so-good, and learn from it all.

So, if you're reading this, keep on checking back. I think the coming months are going to be really cool.
