Happy New Years!!!!!!!
Well its 2006 and we are all getting older. haha. You know, I wish I could have recordings of all the wonderful conversations Ive had over the years. Last night I spent New Years with two of my newest friends, Matt and Diane. It was a mostly uneventful night where everyone else seemed to be having lots of drama. In any case, we all had a good time and the night ended at Matt's house. His parents had some of the neighbors over and one of those neighbors gave us some cigars. Who am I to pass that up?! They were from Honduras, the good kind that last a long time. So we were sitting outside in the brisk air smoking our cigars and just talking about life. And it was wonderful. And everytime this happens to me Im like, "wow, I miss this". I miss college primarily for the reason that most people like to talk about the deeper issues of life. I dont hate small talk but it annoys me sometimes, and I know its mostly the environment that allows you to get into these types of discussions, but all I want to really say is that I miss it.
Ok. So you are wondering what we talked about. Well, Matt is majoring in journalism and is a wonderful writer. And somehow we started talking about John Steinbeck's works and how he was very much a global thinker and how some people have such a limited view of the world. Gosh, I dont want to sound pessimistic though because Im hopeful. I couldn't believe I was actually acting the literary critic when I probably havent read a good piece of literature since college.
Anyhow, it lead to us talking about life and death, and what we are here for, and how we should live our lives, and then I realized why Im so careful with who I spend my time with. Talking about deeper life issues really nourishes my soul, and I really miss it. I really, really do. And I need to start surrounding myself with those types of people again. Even more then I do now.
In any case, my new years resolution is to go back to school. Anyone else have any new years resolutions they want to share?

here is the list from last year. I accomplished 2 out of my 7 goals. Maybe focusing on one goal this year will make me 100% sucessful. ;-)
Yea, Im starting a little early this year so here is my list.
My list:
1. Get a better higher paying, more flexible job. This is in the works. I might accomplish this before the year is out.
2. Get into shape. Ill be doing my first triathlon next year. I need to buy a bike, a swim suit, and new running shoes. Ill start swimming in January because its my weakest area, then biking in March, and running in April. Im going to try and do one in August. Wish me luck.
3. Go to school. I havent made a final decision yet, but Im leaning toward going to film school part time. As always with that we shall see.
4. Start a business. Im serious when I say Im going to get back into doing the Tahitian Noni thing. Now that Im in the gym again I really need it for myself and I know that Im a better salesman now then I was, and it will be much easily to sell it out here in health-Conscious Colorado.
5. Go home. I havent gone home anywhere near what Ive wanted to. I need to get home at least three times next year. Ill work it out somehow I hope.
6. Be serious about music and film. Seriously, Ive been slacking because Ive let work and life in general take over, but Im not complete without them. The opportunity is there if Im willing to work hard and improve my skills. I gotta go after my dreams.
7. Seven is a good number so Ill end with this. Pray More. Enough said.
So lets see everyone else's resolutions. And if anyone puts lose weight as one of them, Ill slap them. Seriously. Peace!
I think I need to lose weight....
I'm gonna second the or4cl3's resolution. Ya can't slap me, I'm too far away!!!
