Dearest Log,
I'm afraid that this will be my last entry, for you were a diary dedicated to my hopes and dreams of life, and now I'm afraid I have none. Today opened my eyes to the truth of the world, and yet by far it's got to be the worst day of my life. First off, Mai off and dumped me for that Duke jerk just because he's got a huge contract deal with Pegasus and the new CEO Mokuba Kaiba. And here I was thinking about proposing to her for Valentine's Day! Well, guess that was money well spent. Speaking of which, the rent is due along with all the other bills I got in the mail today, and Murphy's Law, the boss went and fired me today for no reason. Well, yea there was a reason, a dumb one, the executive office told each branch it had to fire a few people and I was one of the un-lucky. So now I get to spend my free time standing in the unemployment line. Boy, I hope it moves faster than the DMV. So this afternoon after the wonderful news, I decided I should ask mom for a small loan because she's usually nice and good about that. But when I got there she nearly tore my head off because Serenity dropped out of junior college to run off with Tristan. Oh sure, blame me, it's not my fault that Serenity is so darn impressionable and Tristan is my best friend. So now she disowns me. And like I'd ever go to dad for money, that drunk ain't worth a cent in my book. But I am beginning to follow in his footsteps for the love of the drink. I went and binged at the bar at night and got wasted after ten minutes. Though I did get kudos for my Karaoke performance, but that's all I got going for me now, a drunken solo in front of some no nothing bums. I could've gone en route with the entertainment district, I could've been good in Hollywood, but then again my health hasn't been in the greatest of conditions as of late. What a life, I've reached my peak and fallen at age 21. The last time I saw Yugi was at his wedding to Tea. I think they're even contemplating a kid now. And what really blows my top was that they didn't even let me be the best man, just because I've got some street cred in a previous life, they think I'm a no good punk. Grandpa Motto made the spot instead of me, but I guess I can't blame him. Yugi and I sure have drifted apart, I could never go to him for help. I should stop, I'm tired and can't think strait with this headache. And so, as I finish my final journal, I look back at all my previous logs and goals, and wonder, how could this end right here and now, what do I have to look forward to in life, what now... is waiting for you.

I tried to be perfect...
