Well, Happy New Year. In years past, new years has often been quite the let down. The reason seems to be that the build-up and anticipation were just too high. Everyone was all excited about new years, what's going on, etc etc. But it seemed like there never was that perfect thing to do to celebrate the new year, and when it wasn't just amazing, it was a let down. I guess that's why new years is not one of my favorite holidays. But this year I didn't get to hyped up about it, I was kinda anticipating a crappy night. Turns out that I had a good time, maybe not that much different from many other nights of going out, but it was still fun, and I wasn't expecting new years magic. I guess this is one of those cases where if you set your expectations low, you might be pleasantly surprised. Or, just go with the flow. So big-ups to an under-hyped and fun new year, it was nice to see everyone out last night, and if I didn't see you, I hope you still had fun.

2003 was a year which held a lot of changes for me, and probably for a lot of you as well, in many respects. It was an exciting and memorable year... think back to what you were doing in December (2002) and January of last year. Come a long way since then? I'd like to think that I have. Another year older, another year wiser? Perhaps, or perhaps not. You decide. A year full of memories none the less.

Another Christmas break is winding down, coming to a close, and while it will be nice to get back to school, to me it is always nice to be home and to be with old friends and with family. And an interesting, odd, and memorable break it has been as well (with still more fun to come I hope). As Nebo put it "I never even finished unpacking for this break and its almost over."

And a special Happy Birthday to Adam Yasin!
