Jesus Christ almighty, where the hell does the time go?

I think I can honestly say this has been a proper annus horribilis and definately a year I’ll be wanting to forget in a hurry. It’s nearly a year since my wife and I got flooded out of our home (week on Friday to be exact) and to say that everything has went to pot since then would be something of an understatement.

It is part of the reason that I’ve had to give up Alienated Youth. As much as I tried and tried and tried, I couldn’t get the damn comic to resolve in my head. And so when cost cutting measures came to the fore in my household affairs I had no choice but to let it go. It’s not that I wanted to per say, creative things are trying to jump out from me but, unfortunately, time and money seem to be at a rather large premium these days.

The funny thing is, not even 10 years ago, I was writing more than I was drawing. Or doing coursework. Or going to lectures. *cough*

This is why there has been a small flurry of postings here recently. And why I’ve changed the name of the blog to The Life and Times of Mark McQueen. An almost nod to my old blog the Deviant Chronicles there, my (admittedly early) New Years Resolution is to pick my sorry ass up and start getting myself back to ‘normal’. Whatever that is.

I am going to try my damndest to keep coming back online and venting. Rambling. Ranting. Whatever gets my fingers moving and my mind ticking. I used to be very good at this way back when, so I can’t see why the spark can’t return.

I aim to grab 2012 by the scruff of the neck and make it an awesome year, not just for me but for the people closest around me. Because, quite frankly, 2011 has sucked. Royally sucked. And I refuse to go through another 12 months of the same shite as last year.

Actually, know what? That wasn’t an early New Years Resolution. It’s a New Years Revolution. 2012 - here we come!
