It's still hard even today. It was interesting as a kid, but even these days have their moments. I always had to wait on games and cool stuff when I was younger for my birthday. Even then it being a week after Christmas it made it hard to tell everyone back then everything I wanted because...it's a week after Christmas lol. Now that I think about it, it was probably easy since they just picked up two gifts back then and saved time. It still feels odd though. I've never really gotten used to it lol. A "getting through school" was nice through graduation. I ended up getting about $600ish (total) even from people I've never directly met lol. My brother still hates me for it because most those people passed away before he graduated 2 years later.

Yeah it's got Mark, Ryan and Matt, Daniel's family heartbroken. An attempt at suicide is unbelievable. I guess it still stands true that even some of the happiest people in the world have demons that keep them depressed on the inside while they try not to show it. I couldn't believe the post Mark made last night about it. I can understand why Cyndago is shutting down after this. Mostly due to respects, but it wouldn't be the same either. The whole thing is very sad and I wish the best for his friends and family.
