These feelings won't go away - They've been knockin' me sideways

Dec 31, 2008 18:56

Tonight is a night where everyone gets all happy to ring in the new year, everyone goes out to party. Make new year resolutions. And work on parts of themselves that they feel they are lacking in. So I here I ask, why does it take one very drunken night of the year to decide what we should and shouldn't change about ourselves? Why does it take for a good time to be drunk, high, or tripping? This year, has had its fair share of ups and downs. Scares, laughs, tears, great moments, as well as those moments where I say what the fuck?

If someone asked me what my resolution was last year I could look you straight in the eye and say I don't remember. I think it had something to do with letting go of the past. I am not a 100% sure though, so please don't quote me on that. Last year this time I was with Joe, and this is right around the time we had our struggles. But enough about that, it just amazes me on how many things change within one year. I am still working full time, and loving my job, my office has taken a dramatic turn, but for the better. I have been put through many tests, fallen out of love, moved out for the first time, made new friends, traveled all over. A good friend referred to me as a free spirit. And I would like to think I am.

Anyways, back to what I was saying before. I just don't understand why its one night out of the year people have to make amends? Why not any other night during the year? People set themselves up for failure, they make their resolutions that will last for a good solid 2 weeks and then they attempt again to keep resolving which in reality happens for on and off for a good three months, then it has totally passed. Please feel free to dispute me.

I want to take this time to thank everyone who has ever been in my life. A lot has changed since high school, and in this year alone things have been all over the place. This year I have met so many amazing people, in and outside of rhode island. I have met people who like me are dedicated and passionate about changing this country for the better, and just to once again say OBAMA! Yeah, we won, and I will forever be proud for working on that campaign, and meeting him. Terrorist fist punch, what?! Man, oh man. Life is good.

I am not going to do the usual ups and downs of this past year, because frankly those who matter most where there for it all. Or they were taking part in our adventures.

I want to end on this note, for everyone, whether we talk or not, please be safe and of course have fun!
2009 here we come, good-bye 2008.

end of 2008
