Looking back on 2014.

It's been a crazy but surprisingly good year. It's amazing how much can get accomplished in 365 days. 2014 has been the biggest year of my life yet. Graduating from high school, starting college at the University I've dreamed of attending since I was little, just everything about this year blows my mind. Getting to spend an entire summer vacation at home playing video games was also a huge achievement (lol).

Also, I went to a WWE Smackdown taping exactly one week ago and it was the third best day of my life. I had a blast. Nothing like third row on the television side (I saw myself on TV a lot, even dancing which was incredibly embarrassing, oops).

It's been such an amazing year. I can't even wrap my head around half of it.

I found the following questions on tumblr about the year and decided to answer them here.

1: What did you do in 2014 that you’d never done before?: Graudate high school and start college!
2: Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Kind of, and probably not.
3: Did anyone close to you give birth? Nope.
4: Did anyone close to you die? No, thank God.
5: What countries did you visit? Just right here in the USA, hahaha.
6: What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014? Even more accomplishments. Idk, I accomplished a lot in 2014 so that's going to be hard to beat.
7: What dates from 2014 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? The entire summer, May 20th (graduation), August 25th (first day of college), and December 21st (wrestling).
8: What was your biggest achievement of the year? Graduating high school and getting paid to go to my dream college.
9: What was your biggest failure? I can't think of anything.
10: Did you suffer illness or injury? I was probably sick a few times, but nothing too serious.
11: What was the best thing you bought? A PS4 and wrestling tickets.
12: Whose behaviour merited celebration? Mine.
13: Whose behaviour made you appalled? Stupid people.
14: Where did most of your money go? The bank. Just like Seth Rollins, I got that money in the bank. (Please know that was sarcasm and I am very tired).
15: What did you get really, really, really excited about? WRESTLING!
16: What song will always remind you of 2014? I have no idea.
17: Compared to this time last year, are you: (a) happier or sadder? (b) thinner or fatter? (c) richer or poorer? Happier, possibly thinner, and richer.
18: What do you wish you’d done more of? Smile.
19: What do you wish you’d done less of? Cry.
20: How did you spend Christmas? At my grandma's nursing home for lunch, the rest was spent at home.
21: Did you fall in love in 2014? Not really???
22: What was your favourite TV program? Wrestling and Breaking Bad.
23: Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? Definitely.
24: What was the best book you read? I never read so I'll go with an Abnormal Psych book I bought.
25: What was your greatest musical discovery? This is going to sound insane, but Taylor Swift's 1989 album. I can't stand her and her previous music, but that shit is the bomb.
26: What did you want and get? Wrestling tickets, PS4, next-gen GTA V.
27: What did you want and not get? Nothing comes to mind.
28: What was your favourite film of this year? I never watch movies. The only one I think I even watched this entire year was the second Sharknado, hahahaha.
29: What one thing made your year immeasurably more satisfying? I am done with shitty high school forever and college is a million times better than I thought.
30: How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2014? Lots of black shirts. Oh and my lovely moccasin shoes that are ripped because I wear them too much.
31: What kept you sane? Running people over on the sidewalks of GTA V. I'm not lying.
32: Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Steven Ogg and my newly discovered love for Seth Rollins. Oh, and Aaron Paul is pretty freaking adorable too.
33: What political issue stirred you the most? Literally EVERYTHING. I hate politics and all the hating bullshit that's going on in the world.
34: Who did you miss? My grandpa and dog, both of which passed away in 2011.
35: Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014. Working hard truly does pay off.
36: Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. Ahhhh, I can't think of anything. I'll come up with something. How about "YEAH YEAH YEAH, THIS WAS AN AWESOME YEAR AND I GOT THROUGH IT!" That's some great lyrics right there.

Weeeeeeee.

2014 has been nice, and it's definitely been Clobberin' time. Now I'm ready to conquer 2015.

They See Me Rollin', They Hatinnnnnn

Wowowowow.
It's been like twenty years since I've written in this.

So what's been going on?
I finally got my driving permit (yeah, I'm freaking 18 years old and just got my permit, what a loser lol but technically it's not my fault) so yep.
I got a car too (hence the name of this blog post hahaha).
What else. Hmm.

I start college in a week and a half and I'm not going to talk about that because I'm majorly freaked out and have super bad anxiety about it so nope. Not going to even think about it.

People piss me off. That's nothing new though. People also suck really badly. That's also nothing new.

I have a major crush on a video game character. Trevor Philips is mine everyone, so back off (hahaha). His voice actor is also a majooooor cutie. (I know there's a -343% chance of this happening, but Steven Ogg if you are reading this just know I freaking love you, you amazing man.)
All I've done this summer is play GTA V almost every day and I don't regret it one bit.
It's actually been a great time.

Fuck everyone pretty much.
Yep.
That's it.

A Letter to Grandpa.

Three years ago today. Three long years that you've been gone.
I sit here, typing this with tears streaming down my face. I miss you so much. Words can't even describe how much.
You weren't my blood grandpa, but you were the closest thing to a real grandpa.
I'll never forget one of our last phone conversations when you joked that the next time you came to visit, you would have to bring a Calculus book because I'd probably be grown up and would rather do Calculus problems than bake cookies with you.
Truth is, I'd give anything to be able to bake one last batch of cookies with you.
I miss the cookies. I miss us decorating them as ugly as possible but you would always say mine were beautiful. I miss you playing that joke on me where you'd pull a quarter out of my ear and I'd believe it every single time.
I've tried to stay strong today but I just can't.
These last three years without you have been the hardest years of my life. I know you're with me though; you'll forever be in my heart. "Forever and a day", as you would say.

I miss you so much.
Whenever I'd tell you that I loved you, you would tell me that you loved me more.

Grandpa, I love you more.
