I'm back after a long hiatus! A lot of things have happened since my last blog entry. I've been so busy with my band schedule that I haven't had much time to write anything, but we had a successful holiday season, and our shows have done remarkably well. My cousin's about to finish up her first year in college, and she's already making plans to come back to Chicago this summer. I still haven't gone back to Baltimore yet, but chances are, I will return there eventually, because I always think about my love and how she misses me so. It's sad, though, to see the Bears and Bulls miss the playoffs this year, but this is what you get when you get your hopes up a little too high. Just ask the Cubs. Speaking of baseball, it's great to see my beloved White Sox in action. Hopefully, they'll do better this year, and I hope Frank Thomas comes back to his old team sometime in the coming months, since he was just released by Toronto. All in all, I've had a very busy schedule, but I'm learning to take it slow, one day at a time. And I'm ready to resume my regular checking in on my blog, as well as MySpace, where I still have an account. Well, that's all I have for now, but be on the lookout for all-new posts in the coming weeks. I miss writing here a lot, but it's great to be back!
