As Midnight approaches, the beginning of my 22nd year of my life draws closer and closer to its end. And a new year of my existance begins. As I think back to how being 21 was, I can only describe the last 365 days as a roller coaster.

Looking back on how my life was in the last 365 days, I had my share of ups and downs. But now, with the beginning of a new year as a person, I see nothing but great things. Not for just myself, but for everyone I associate myself with. I believe that the next 365 days are going to be big for all of us. Yeah, it might sound philosophical, but hey, I can do whatever I want.
As for the new me, it seemed that people enjoyed it on Thursday. The only favor I ask you all is to keep it going. You are the fuel to that fire. The more fuel you add, the bigger the flame.
Midnight has now arrived. September 20th is now here. The 23rd year begins.
