all of what we know is about to end

Spent New Year's eve with some friends and my girlfriend. We talked for awhile over greek food and then deserts, including some sort of almond cookies and baklava. Following was a game of Apples to Apples, watching the ball drop on TV, a game of Texas Hold 'em (I lost seven bucks in quarters), and then I watched everyone play a game of BS and Spoons. Later we watched It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia for two episodes and then it was lights out on the party.

Woke in the morning, extremely tired. My girlfriend wouldn't let me get back to sleep either, since we'd be leaving soon enough (wound up being a good hour and a half later, mostly of my fault), and then Wendy's was lunch.

Tonight I watched the beginning half of the movie Space Jam. Reminds me of childhood, mainly the reason why I asked for it in the first place. Watched How I Met Your Mother with my girlfriend. And today, on the first day of 2010, I'm already realizing I hate my resolution. No soda for me is like... no stealing for a klepto, no drinking for an alcoholic, no porn for a sex addict. I drink soda almost daily, but it's become a drain on money at school and I needa start myself on a healthier diet, that means no soda. Sure I could limit myself to maybe one every other week, but believe me, the limitation could only last so long, so for now I'm swearing off the stuff, at least for the year.

And speaking of it being a new year, the past year, 2009 was a pretty damn good one. Graduated high school, started college, maintained my ongoing relationship of almost thirteen months, started new stories, got my first job and made some real money for once, met new friends, got my driver's license on the second attempt. There's probably a lot more I could name, but I'm not gunna.

So, in remembering the year that was 2009, and the decade that it completed, here's to hoping 2010 matches and goes beyond the experiences of 2009.
