Happy New Year!

Well, here it is, 2009. 2008 was alright I guess. I remember feeling euphoric exactly one time. The rest wasn't bad though. We all made it, didn't we? Hope you had a good evening just there. I myself spent the night with several of my very favorite people in the whole damn world, doing my favorite stuff. Started out at Cafe Su playing a gig with Pravis and Viku, made a bit of cash money, went home to drop my whatsit off, went to pick up just about my very favorite person in the world, went with her to Matt's shindig, that was fun, great buncha people there, went back to Heather's, hang out with her and Lynda and Jenna and Kyle 'til about one, felt really hyper all of a sudden, had some chocolate and pretzels, and decided to write another of of these stream-of-consciousness-type posts. So, there you are. I guess I haven't really made resolutions so much as told myself to do stuff, and I'll try to follow that as much as I can. I am going to wear my retainer more this year, I think 5 out of 7 nights of the week, with no two consecutive nights off. It was getting bad towards the end of the year there. I hope to ride my bike more this year. After college auditions, when it warms up, I won't be needing to haul my bass back and forth from school every day, so I'll do some then. Heather and I are planning on this big 30 mile tour of Des Moines. Should be pretty cool. I'd question if we'd be able to do it, but I did 50 miles one day a few years ago, so I think we'll be alright. Especially if she gets a new bike. I've also decided to start tagging people in these notes. I hope to get more sleep this year. I'm going to try to swear less. That's about it for the resolutions, I guess.  These pretzels are good. I've recently been getting more into tasting fine chocolates. I wish I had more money. I hope all these trios and combos and bands and everything work out. I have fun with all of them-Saturn V, Zen Distortion, Saturn V Trio, Joey, when I get to play with them, and everybody else. It's weird to think that this time next year, I'll be halfway through my first year of college. This growing up thing sure is nuts, isn't it? I do wish the drinking age was 18. Feels kind of silly drinking sparkling grape juice on New Years eve. I mean, not that I'm 18 anyway, it's just...the powers at be would be more likely to let me have a bit of something. Hope stuff works out better for Wuli this year. My phone must be a cat, I think. It's pretty close to shot, though. I've killed it at least 5 or 6 times...getting up there. I had been hot earlier, but now I'm cold. I need to work on time management and whatnot. If you receive a check on December 31st 2008 but don't cash it until January 1st or 2nd 2009, does it go on your tax return for 08 or 09? Do you remember the old elementary school phrase "I after E except after C"? Do you remember the old elementary school? I think it would be a bummer, but an interesting bummer to work on New Year's eve. They should take a break from the law and stuff for a couple hours between like 11 and 1. But not tell anybody. So it wouldn't be complete mayhem, but the coppers could have the night off. Did you hear about that one time? Yeah, me neither. I think I'm going to have more chocolate. Goodnight. Good day. Good year.
