Happy New Year


So here I am, drunk on New Year's Eve and left to recap the last twelve months while watching the ball drop and hanging with a few friends. Let's get to it, shall we?

*Broke up with Alicia. Didn't talk for 7 months. Saw her on the street on one of the best days of the year and decided, "y'know what? Let's call her."

*Moved out of Kevin's and into a studio downtown. Living behind a bar never really comes to your attention until you go in and everybody knows your name and, conveniently no longer cards you. I now live next to four bars, a coffee shop, a video store, two fast food restaurants, and an upscale bar and grill, among other things.

*Worked for Wells Fargo, quit Wells Fargo and got a job back at ye ol' Hollywood Video. Lord, how do I miss working there. We have 80k movies and I'm so happy to be there. Great staff, great customers (with the random idiots thrown in), and just plain good times.

*Went back to school and I'll be graduating in June and starting either a post-bac program or masters program in the fall (fingers crossed).

*What a year of movies. The ones that actually got advertising? Sucked. The ones that I had to actually research in order to enjoy? Rocked.

*Serenity. Firefly the movie. Nuff said.

*The wedding for Bentley and Dani. Rawk.

*Made amends with as many old "problems" as possible.

*New friends: Meg and Erin, Zac, Ali and Nick, K3hl and Amanda, Julie, Stacy, and Tana, Fallon, Annapurna and Emir, Alissa, Sierra, Dennis and Abel, and, of course, NYC Kelly. Plus, the return of Burton, Colie, Laura, D and, the most important return of all, Will "the Wolf" Myren. What a year for meeting new people.

There's a much longer list of things to be thankful for this year but I'm just going to say this: To all of those who aided and abetted to making this year one to remember. It truly was one of the greats and I feel (dare I even say it) blessed that I got to participate in 2005 with this many highlights.
