Looking Back – Internet

GGMT , Personal , Random • Jan 26, 2014

I’ve spent the majority of my morning playing around with ARCHIVE.ORG. How freakin’ cool is this site? It really takes me back to when I started graphic design, blogging and fanlistings. Some of it I thought ‘oh god – how embarrassing’ but then i realized how proud I am of some of that cheesy work!

This is the first splash page for the original God Give Me Truth site. That was an original .com site that unfortunately, due to laziness, i lost. My original site in 2001 was HisWorld.Net followed by a celebrity fan site called MrLachey.Com. I’ve had numerous other items along the way such as a TCG, numerous fanlistings, blend sites, a Britney Spears fan site and even a couple of forums along the way. It truly has been a wild ride over the past 13 years but I don’t regret any of it!

I’ve looked to get GGMT off for years now. Recently I had a beautiful logo created by Jenn @ Hello Brio. Excited to finally get that up and running. Business cards, updated design, who knows! Thank you to everyone that has been a part of this journey over the years. I hope that it only gets better from here!

Death

Personal , Random • Jan 22, 2013

DEATH. We all know that at some point its coming. At a certain point in life as well we know that it’s going to begin to surround us It’s always a shock and it’s never the type of surprise any of us look forward to. The circumstances are always unexpected and its always unfortunate.

This morning at 2:30 AM my grandfather MERLE SMITH passed away. It was everything listed above. As an older man I knew his time was coming. I knew that every minute I had with him could some day be my last. I took that for granted and unfortunately I didn’t spend as many moments with him as I should have. A REGRET IS A MISTAKE THAT YOU HAVEN’T LEARNED FROM. I learned therefore I have no regrets. I look back and smile only on the happy memories I still have.

Grandpa was admitted to the hospital on Sunday for pneumonia. At the time everything was normal. Being elderly the admittance was simply just a precaution. Monday evening things went sour when an aneurism in his brain burst. A few short hours later he passed to his home in heaven. He will have great company with fellow family members that have gone before him. 

Today is the first time ever that i’ve called off work for a death in the family (don’t judge me). I feel that its more benefiting to be at work keeping my mind off of the pain instead of sitting at home and sulking about it. This situation is different. This man meant everything to me. My dad passed when I was young and this man stepped in quickly to fill the voice. This he continued to do up until the day that he passed. I will never forget the beautiful memories that I am left with.
