Did this year really happen?
So much of it was like a dream.
A pink, fluffy, perfect dream.
Tassy moved in with me on Dec 26 of 2004. With her by my side in 2005 we dedicated ourselves to being FLASHCA$H evangelists as we?
? Tried out for a reality show and went to Jamaica as finalists (we lost)
? Attended a Playboy Mansion Party.
? Produced 2 music CDs.
? Had lunch with Grandpa (and hosted the hugnation podcast) weekly.
? Got really involved with IPTV (veoh.com)
? Started a Vlog (
www.SpreadingThePink.com)
? Walked the beach countless times. Enjoyed countless sunsets.
? Lead a panel at SXSW
? Made giant strides in photography, video, lighting, and editing skills.
? Participated in Xara Dulzura & Burning Man.
? Launched an experimental adult paysite.
? Relaunched Globalgasm.
? Created PINK+AID to raise $ for disaster relief.
? Made a Grandpa Caleb DVD for his 93rd bday party. (learned basic authoring)
? And spread the pink with fervor.
Some of my projects this year have pushed limits. Some of my behaviors have pushed friends away. Many people have told me I'm off track. Overall I've just tried to be true to my heart. I?ve tried to listen to my inner guide. And I?ve tried, above all, to love.
Love more, fear less.
Float more, steer less.
The time I have spent with my 93 year old Grandpa this year has been priceless.
The time I have spent with Tassy has been bliss.
I've been much more solitary this year. Lots of staying home with Tassy and walking on the beach. I hope my friends understand. I trust the cycles will lead exactly where they should.
I love you.
And I sincerely hope 2006 brings even more love and joy for everyone who reads this.
With hope, optimism, and love,
-Halcyon
P.S.
Here?s a (reposted) 5 min. video taken Xmas day at the beach. 93 year old Grandpa was fighting a cold, but still was able to squeak out some wise words for the coming year:
