Happy New Year!

[Darth Avlectus]

Right now it is Pacific time 10:55PM at the time of this posting...the eastern parts of USA have already hit new years. My town, being the destination resort that it is has oddly not picked up in activity. There is less bustling and activity than in previous years. Hoodlums are still out causing havoc.

I've come down with a cold. I've slept off most the day. I have a hazy feeling permeating my consciousness right now. I'll go out and at least try enjoying myself...

How was 2K8? Well, it was my year (of the rat) since I was born in 1984. I'd say it has been okay. Nothing exceptional. I had a few relationships this year and learned a lot about myself, both good and bad. A year of reflection. Discovery.
Finding that cynical and realistic does not have to mean pessimistic or uninventive.
I could not have been less enthusiastic about christmas this year. Something that didn't stop me from trying to bring joy to others at least.
I know this hasn't been my year to save money which is something I'm very good at normally. I need to really get back into shape since I've noticed my physical capacity has decreased to a problematic point. Still have most of my strength, just no stamina and a loss in core stability and flexibility overall. I have learned that bringing some joy to others' life on a daily basis is often more of a reward than material...the trick is that one needs look for it. I've befriended more elderly and never realized how many of them care for those around them. That most people are nice if a shade condescending. To appreciate the experience of others before writing them off as pompous or arrogant.
Learned about being a martialist (beyond martial arts/sciences). I have a better view into spirituality. Finally, I'm getting a better idea what I want from life and my place in it, coming into my mid twenties.

I was watching fireworks at a friend's 18th party, that happily coincides with new year. It was freezing, but by that point we were all fairly impervious to the cold : D. then i went and ruined it all by throwing up and being put to bed on the sofa. i am a rotten lightweight, though on the other hand i do get drunk cheaper. every cloud...

I'm told I was drunk out of my mind playing Guitar hero world Tour lol, then I woke up surrounded by naked women... Sorry no, I Thought I was surrounded by naked women, then woke up

2008 was Meh, hoping 2009 will smile on us more, and for Jae as well, sounds like you had it rough last year!

[jawathehutt]

I drank caffine and alcohol for the first time in a number of months. Ouch.

[Hallucination]

The second thing I did after the clock struck midnight (the first was a toast) was learn (painfully) that not only is snow still cold in '09, but also that the snow I jumped into topless was frozen.





=D

I sat alone in a room lit by one lamp, and I was sipping vodka....then I heard someone next door shooting fireworks nearby....not entirely the best decision in a close quarters neighborhood

2008 was a normalish year. Nothing big happened in my own personal world. Changes at work were a positive; however, nothing seemed over the top good or bad.

*Looks at CommanderQ*

Are you sure they were fireworks? I thought it was Chev.

@Yar El

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
