dans le present.
bonjour, 2008. j'espere que vous serez magnifique, parce je ne saurai pas quoi faire si vous ne le serez pas.
it's 2008 now. the year i graduate, the year i turn eighteen, the year i leave home and fly away to college. oh bother.
this is epic.
new year's eve was beautiful. i was with great friends, some greater than others, but i did not get to spend the first moments of 2008 with my best friends. instead of whining and mourning this, i will be glad that i had a wonderful time, maybe too wonderful, even.
i don't quite know what to expect of 2008, nor do i think it knows that to expect of me. i can very vividly see this year flying in a thousand different directions, but i know that i can only choose a few. life seems a momumental task; i'm not entirely sure how one can navigate it on their own.
the break from school has been most excellent. i have spend much time with my bestest buddies, hung out with some unlikely characters, slept excessively, and spent much too much money on frivolous things. the holiday season's funny; we indulge in that which we don't need and then regret the results later. the human condition? i know not.
tonight, i wish i was doing something. i'm feeling one of those lonely, kind of disconnected, despondent feelings. i know what i want to do. i do know. but the likelihood of it happening is slim to none. it is okay - i have music, i have my dog, and i have my thoughts.
today i was thinking about how i don't think i need much, but i do. we all do. our lives are dripping in excess, covered in all kinds of things we don't need. how nice would it be to cut all responsibilities, unneccessary items, poessesions, tasks, even people, out for just a little while to evaluate what we, as a person, are all about?
ca serai excellent.
