Hello! If you have reached this message…you may have taken a wrong turn looking for the porn..
Anyways! This is the page of Genuine and his Human, where I (the human) will be representing myself through Genuine (the mutt) and hopefully entertaining you all through some writing, the occasional art piece and my under-appreciated dry sarcastic humor.

2017 pushed me to my limits
6 years agoThen I pushed back and found out how much more I can take.
What a crazy year and one hell of a ride that had me hanging on for dear life
screaming the entire way. I think the simplest way to break it all down is to look at
it separately - the good and the bad:
The Bad:
-Nearly had to drop out of school when life swept me off my feet
- My 67 Mustang is one of the most important things in my life; this year I had to garage her after she broke down on the side of the road. She is still not operational.
-I spent nearly a week by my boyfriend's side in a hospital bed, wondering if he was going to succumb to bacterial pneumonia.
-Wanted to give up a strong running passion of mine - surfing - because of insecurities and injuries I obtained through my experiences.
-Struggled to get our life back on track when my partner and I lost our entire savings - twice.
-Difficulties, misunderstandings and pride threatened to tear my relationship apart.
-Feeling helpless when trying to console Tams when he lost his job.
-Experienced the very real possibility of losing my home due to inability to pay rent.
-Stretched my financial resources so thin for the first time I was actually 'broke'.
-Saw the effects of wildfires devastate my home away from home.
-Was unappreciated and undermined by a team of people I considered friends and colleagues.
-Kidney stones!
-Feared having to push one of my best friends out of the picture when things turned violent against me.
Perhaps that's a fair enough review of the bad; I like to see happy endings where possible and given life's nature, I'm aware of how hard that is to find. Seeing the above list and reliving some of those feelings as memories in my mind - it's kind of amazing that there's anything good to say at all. Life is what you make of it though and how you choose to see the ending; a little well timed statistical probability doesn't hurt either (certainly I would not attribute the following list to luck').
The Good:
-Moved into my wonderful new home by February of 2017; a goal I made for myself the previous year. My partner, our roommate and I just signed a two year lease.
-Began to learn how to fly a small plane. Tams and I have each earned 7 hours and our instructor is preparing us to solo.
-Took on the role of chief engineer for my second year in a project that puts a small payload into the stratosphere for experimentation. This upcoming year, the reins were passed to me. I'm currently the project manager for a project awaiting approval of our proposal.
-Just finished every available math course at my school. From Calc I to Linear Algebra, to Differential Equations, I'm done and had no grade drop below a C.
-Got to travel much of the western United States; drove across 5 states and 3 days and adventured through mountains and deserts with my partner.
-Picked up a new temporary car in Tahoe and spent a few days enjoying the lake and surrounding area.
-Went to Sn Francisco three times, really got to see more of it than I ever have before.
-Visited famed surfing spot Mavericks in Half Moon bay California and got to witness the power of the ocean first hand.
-Began to hopefully make some new friends who share in one another's interest.
-Had a fantastic Christmas and was able to get everyone gifts. Spent it in our new place and independently for the first time.
-Adopted a beautiful red tail boa who seems healthy and well tempered.
-Sat on a professional panel for manufacturing in front of a crowd of 600.
-Helped discover and exo-planet.
-Surfed often and reconnected with the sport and the ocean.
Tough even with all of those things, they hardly compare to what has been the BEST thing to happen to me two years running and that's my relationship with Tams.
It's needless to say I wouldn't have been able to do 75% of what I've done this year without him. 2017 really put us both through the paces and I'm certain that I'm walking away from it with a better definition of what love is; especially experiencing it first hand. Despite the struggles and the hardships, all the trials and tribulations, through the nights we fought to the nights we held each other. The uncertainty of the future and the darkest places we could ever imagine being. Through fear and misunderstanding, so many unanswered questions, the notion that love is difficult, relationships are hard work, and perfection continues to elude all of us. We found the light in one another. We were there to guide the other's lost soul; we are each other;s strength where we are weak and together, that makes us whole. I celebrated our first year together with you despite all odds and all circumstances trying to tear us apart. I'm going to spend a good part of my life truing to figure out how to express what these words do so poorly as describing. You are my everything, you are someone nobody else could dream of filling and your importance to me is unmatched, unchallenged and not threatened. You couldn't possible be any more to me than you already are because you've already been more to me than I could have ever expected. Thanks for enduring the journey with me, I know it's been one hell of a tough year; I wouldn't have been able to pull through without you. I love you, man, I really do.
I'm not going to make any forecasts or predictions for the new year; I know what it is I want to do and where I'd like to go and that's enough. Life's an awful lot like a wave and you can't fight the current; all you can do is work with it and stay calm when it holds you under. I'm hoping it'll be smoother sailing this time around.
Peace 2017, it's been real
Wishing you all a Happy Near Year's and an even better 2018. Bring on the year of the DOG!
