Here's a new chapter of Dear Diary as my Valentine's Day present to all of you. A bit ironic that the chapter released for Valentine's Day is dedicated to the man that I loved, but maybe it was meant to be this way.

May your Valentine's Day be as special as I think you are.

One band that got blasted a lot was "3 Doors Down". I liked their music so much, I even borrowed the title of one of their songs to be the title of a story I got started and still haven't finished.

Still Mardi Gras season, so get your purple, green, and gold bling on.
