I said i'd drag them along for the ride

I was on a porch of a 6 star hotel looking out to the harbour where the fireworks were supposed to start. And it was so Imperialist style, because most of the people on that balcony were sipping their wines and champagne while the rest of the "fireworks" watching crowd were spread on their picnic mats on the Hotel's lawn just around the corner of a busy traffic intersection. They had can drinks and ate what it might have seem like from way up where i was, sandwiches. But since fireworks are not selfish, when it finally exploded, it entertained us all.

Now with 2005 gone, one can expect 2006 to be just as good/better/no way as good.. depending on what you have planned for the year. I had gone manic in 2005 with writing everything i did in my lil' schedule book. My reason was that i did not want to lose track of time, the people and more importantly me. And i thought it would make for better measure and for more interesting conversation when i can meet up with friends and go "Do you know it has been more than 2 months since we have met? I know because it's recorded, just like this conversation." Or to a friend who has to temporarily suspend her relationship with her German boyfriend, who is meditating in Cambodia,"It's only 5 months. It will come and go just like that! *snaps fingers for effect*"

Maybe it's because i'm really starting to feel my age. I know people will often balk at this. "Your age? You are only 24.. " but while that number in absolution is small, compared to the teens and earlier 20s i really am feeling 24. I'm definitely slower. I'm definitely eating more for no apparent reason. I'm defintely so consumed with work that i have little motivation to do anything else. While that may seem like a whole string of excuses... all my working people out there, you know what i mean?

New Year's Resolution; WEALTH ACCUMULATION and FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS.
It is as boring and nonsense as it sounds. We'll see how it goes. 2005's was about acceptance. And i handled the "boring and nonsense" really well... almost too well. This year has no compromises.
