The New Year

Thank God it's here. 2009 was exhausting. However, all things considered, it was a much better year than 2008. That had to be the worst.

Things are getting weird now. Everyone is growing up. I knew I would drift away from people, mostly people I didn't really care for so that's fine. But now I'm starting to drift from people I really do care about. That's a hard feeling to take in. I'm talking about people who shaped who I am, and who taught me to first and foremost be real.

You know, it's a funny thing about being real. It's not accepted by a lot of people. Sure, people like to say that honesty is the best policy. But think about how unpleasant reality is in a lot of cases. I can think of countless times when my version of real was just too much for others. It's hard to do 100% of the time, and it's hard to take 100% of the time. C'est la vie (correct me if I'm wrong).

I have a few goals for 2010. Read the Bible more. Read more in general. Go to church. Separate from immaturity and embrace being grown. Start a hardcore savings plan. Learn the basics of a new language not named Spanish. Swear less. Love more. Word hard. Go all out all the time.

Also, I'm going to work on my girl situation. It's been about a solid year since I've had any kind of remote romantic interests (outside of a few brief flings with girls in the Charleston area). I am seriously lagging behind a few of my friends, and Christmas leave reminded me that I have to work on my game some more. It's not like college where guys and girls are constantly on the lookout for some action... it's the real world and the game is a lot different.

Well that's it for now. I hope to keep this up more in the New Year. Power school isn't that bad, and I am mastering it pretty well, so I think I'll have more time than in A-School.

Cheers
