   And now, for something totally different.
It's the new year~! =D

I went over to a friend's house and played Gears of War with my friends until midnight. It was kind of...strange. I don't usually like bloody shooting games, really, at all. Nor have I ever played an Xbox 360.

But, um...it was really fun. I started the new year off killing someone with a chainsaw?

The only thing I can interpret out of this is that maybe this year will be very, very different from my other year, and that excites me greatly. ^___^

I felt incredibly hyper last night, too. Crrraaazzzzy. Almost more fun than I could handle. I was sad I had to leave, but I couldn't spend the night. Maybe, at some point, I should make some friends who are actually girls, but hey. Life's great.

My resolutions:
1.) Don't lock my keys in my car. (This lasted 3 weeks last year, but I have a little bit more hope this year.)
2.) Lose 20 pounds. (Working at a fast food restaraunt is going to kill me otherwise. >_<)
3.) Become a "better person". (I get this weird speech from my grandma occasionally about how pathetic I am...)
4.) Decide just what the crap I'm going to do with my life since I'm graduating this year. (T_T)
5.) I want to have at least one moment of total, pure happiness. One of those heart-racing, high-on-life moments. Something I'll never forget, it was so amazing. Whatever that'll be...

Well, since it is the new year...

"The New Year"
Death Cab for Cutie

So this is the new year.
And I don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then I could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.

There'd be no distance that could hold us back..

So this is the new year...

And, since this is already so long, I might as well leave you with this. A wish for all of you for the next year, and all those to come afterwards.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

Have the best year ever this year!
