Well here it is, the first day of a new year. I have to say that last year was quite life altering in a multitude of ways. Since most of it was documented here, those faithful readers I have had since the beginning know exactly what I mean.
Looking back at the many things that happened it pretty much leaves anything and everything as a possibility for what this year could entail. I like that. I like that life is so unpredicatable. I like that at age 25 I am still learning things I thought I had already figured out. John Lennon once said "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans", how right he was. Sometimes I really need to step outside myself to be able to take in everything going on around me. Sometimes I forget that I am living in the greatest city because it has oddly given me a very "at home" feeling that I wasn't expecting so soon. Of course nothing can replace my real home. I've only been back in NYC for one day and I already miss it, not the place so much as the people.
As far as a new year's resolution, I can't say I really have one yet. It seems like this year it needs to be much more than some cliche resolution like losing weight or whatever. Something that actually has meaning. I'll let you know when I figure it out, if I do. I guess if I were to hope for anything in the following year it would be a wish of health and happiness for everyone I know and love. What more do you need than that right?
Last night I had my first NYE kiss in wow, maybe 5 years? Not just an NYE kiss, I mean like one with someone you.....love. Yikes, did I just type that? My NYC turned LA guy rang in the new year with me and I must say it was a terrific time. Unfortunately he leaves again in a few days, and I guess my world goes on.
So in conclusion and in celebration of 2004, a year of change, here is what I learned:
-Time alone is good, and living alone is actually quite wonderful
-Hard work does reap great rewards, although sometimes not immediately
-Ben & Jerry's "Primary Berry Graham" is what I imagine sex with Chris Carrabba to be like, delicious
-Sometimes taking a chance and making the first move can be quite rewarding
-Nothing replaces the feeling of "home"
-Ann and I are capable of driving a 15ft truck pretty much anywhere
-standardized tests are bullshit
-when you love someone, you tell them
-never settle
Happy New Year.
