So, 2008 has genuinely been quite the downer for most of the year.

I feel one of the only good moments was seeing Obama be elected into office. Of course, this is solely my personal opinion and if you do not agree with this, I would hope you would be able to respect my views as I have respected my fellow friends, family and neighbors who supported the opposing party during the 2008 election.

I’ve had a lot of hardships going on this year, mainly with managing and keeping a hold of money while dealing with school and bills after returning from a trip I took in December of last year to go to Mexico. It’s been rough, and with the way the economy has turned, it’s getting even more rough, but I’m trying to manage my best.

Even with these hardships, I’m trying my best to keep my chin held high. I’ve (somewhat) started to get my music creation off the ground, having created a MySpace Music profile for when I actually complete stuff. (I can be extremely lazy, haha!)

I also received an early Christmas gift from my grandparents, a Canon EOS Rebel K2 35mm SLR camera.

It’s pretty nice, since I finally got to give it a whirl at my family’s Thanksgiving get-together. If you’d like to see all the photos, click the photo below:

Which reminds me I also have a flickr set up for my photographic adventures.

But in the end, I just hope and pray that 2009 will be a better year, a MUCH better year.
