I just realized that my termination day with the company I used to work for is August 15, 2008. That is also the 3 year anniversary of Deliberate Noise. At first I could feel the cold tendrils of depression trying to take hold of my mind, but I realized that when I posted the first episode of Deliberate Noise, my life changed for the better. I have met a lot of new people, a bunch that I consider friends. I have done a bunch of things that I never would have even dreamed of doing even a few months earlier, including but not limited to talking into a microphone for hours a week and putting my image on a T-shirt.
Once that started to sink into my head, I realized that there is no reason why August 15 couldn’t be another new beginning for me.
August 15 – Deliberate Noise’s birthday
August 16 – My father’s birthday (RIP Dad)
August 17 – Stephen’s birthday
A day of new beginning, a day of quiet reflection (not mourning) and a day of celebration. All in a row.
I started this post a little apprehensive, but now I’m starting to get a little excited.

Here’s to “hoping for another new beginning”, Derek. I sincerely wish you well. I know I’m only an online acquaintance, but if there’s anything I can help out with, don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks, Ken. I appreciate it.
