A Year in Review...

Well Christmas came and went, whats next, Year's end! All went great with Xmas thankfully, a good time was had. Nearing the end of the year to me, makes me think of the 365 days that have just passed by, although there are just a few days left in 2009. The year started on a positive notes of sorts. Rob and I were getting close again, more comfortable with each other than we had been in a while, I should say, I not we, as I'm not sure what was going on in Robs head. The words he spoke and his actions were 2 completely different things. Regardless the days, they passed. May brought on another jaunt over to merry ole England, London to be exact, to reunite with some of the folks I met in Africa last year, it was a blast, met up with Kevan Frost, a musician I LOVE!!! Welcomed Boy George home after being released from prison..lol that sounds funny just writing it out. The press on that day had a photograph of Boy George with a fan who was there with me, she had a gift, so the caption read, "Boy George with one of 2 fans..." I was the other half of the 2 fans, still a fun adventure. Came home to what I thought was a blossoming friendship/romance, only to find that Rob was, as suspected the whore Id been calling him for months, I knew I was right all along. I ditched that faggot thank god, for lying, cheating(in the past), messing around while in my apartment, the list goes on, just read past entries. I made the changes, otherwise we would still be living that miserable existence. So cheers to me for making a change that was long over due. Summer brought onto me, forcing myself to get back out there, on the scene, out living. I had some fabulous nights this past summer, with new, interesting and beautiful people. As Ive said I never understood when theses attractive people would come up to me, I learned to enjoy the time I was with these people. I learned that there are other people out there who like me, for whatever reason. A few friendships were formed, that I continue to work on as I need to expand my social network, not limiting any form of socializing just to work. So for that too I am glad. Ive managed to make my life my own, completely me. The crap I put up with the last 10 years or so, now seems like such a waste of my time and for that I'm bitter, but by moving forward I'm making that change, things are more positive. Summer outings were something to get used to as they were outings I didn't partake in for the better of 10 years or so. The feeling of vulnerability was massive as I made myself go out, made myself go meet people and ventured into new "lands" - I thought that my first birthday as a single man, would put me over the edge - a piece of cake. I spent it with good people who know how to have fun, laugh and enjoy life. A welcomed change, a change I will continue to make and live. The holidays which are half over at this point, also put me to the test and it wasn't all that bad. I will start 2010 on a brighter note. Its a year to start completely on my own. The year of Franco and only, Franco. Ive reconnected with some old friends, and some new friends have found their way into my life. Though the new ones aren't as tight as the old ones, its nice to know, I have the ability, the personality or character to lure people into the world of Franco, and like it. I don't have to be fake with anyone, I don't have to be something Im not anymore. Rob was in my life, the last half of the 90's and the majority of the first decade of this century. That is over. That is a thing of the past and a thrilling adventure awaits me on the flip of the next calendar page, January 2010. Starting off with a vacation, I'm half heatedly looking forward to, but as the days approach, theres a hint of excitement. 2 weeks today I depart, so the excitement will build over the next few days...and I will start this year off on the right foot and hopefully, the past dramas between 1993 to 2009 are over. I don't have to, or want to deal with that stupidity and waste of time EVER again.
That's my year in review....
