CherBear's Thoughts: Organizing in the new 2015yr

First off -

A late Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone.

I do apologize for basically not being around. Ever since 12/12/2014, my laptop crashed once again & I had finally gotten it working a lil after Christmas. I'm still sorting & organizing but its so many files & I'm making a checklist of things I will eventually need because it seems like this has been an ongoing issue with my laptop I'll have maybe a year at minimum before the next serious BSOD crash. Basically - I got an error that's saying that I need to replace my HD/Video Drive for my laptop. For me to reinstall the OS is just delaying everything for 'bout a year roughly & its been a ongoing issue for the past few years already - so in short, a new external & thumbdrive in my future to move all files to then start a refurbishing process. I'm seeing the next time it BSODs on me - I'll pro'ally wipe & reformat to see if its a physical hardware or an internal software issue - so new HD for the laptop & perhaps replacing the overworked fans - better than the alternative plan of a new desktop w/ a laptop. 

I digress tho. Minus the few little money hardships, repairing a car cuz of getting into a crash & helping out in San Diego's first Hearth's Warming Eve event on 12/13/2014. I can't honestly really complain. I wish things could be better but I realize at the same time, things could be a lot worse too. 

My holidays have been good, spending it with family & calling out to family to wish them seasons greetings.

Hearth's Warming Eve 12/13/2014 I think went well. 

The New Year went smoothly & 6 days in, things have been calm - nothing bad but hopefully that means something good will be in the horizon. 

So I am looking to reorganize everything & mean everything. Laptop files, my art sites & such. Do I have resolutions? I would say yes if I knew I didn't have a nasty habit of breaking them - so I am just gonna take one step at a time with 2015, be optimistic, keep myself busy, go through this long list I intend on finishing & keep looking for job prospects. 

So even tho yes, I know my premium is ending soon - I will probably renew it, I've just been waiting for a promo deal to come up. Which means I either start posting the rest of my stuff soon or do the reliable good ol' waiting game.

Reflections of 2014, I've made plenty of new local friends, ended up fully embracing my inner brony/pegasister & overall I can say I'm content w/ all things considered on how 2012 & 2013 was like. 

Sadly I know later this month - I take time to remember someone who I lost that was very close & very dear to me, even though its been years, I admit, time has made it a lil easier - but I still remember her fondly regardless of bad times & conflicting moments we had. Hopefully my moods won't change too drastic around this time - if it does, I apologize ahead of time.

So as I end this journal - I'll try to end it upbeat. This has what essentially happened during December & me moving onto January - I'll try to be a lil more active but w/ me playing the catch up game again, it'll take some time. Be well & stay safe all.
