since tom. begins the new year, i will no longer be writing in this journal.
for the first time i actually kept up with one of my new years resolutions. ive always wanted to keep a journal so id have something to look back on for years to come. i want to remember my life an my opinions exactly as they are now. i have been pretty consistent with the upkeep. even the stuff i wrote a year ago shocks me, so i cant wait to read this is several years.
i want 2005 to be a year of health for me- physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, you name it. now that i know what i need, i just need to stop being lazy/afraid and do something about it.
have a happy new years!

i've been thinking back on 2004 and it has been one long year.. so much has changed.. i was reading my entries from the start of the year and i'm so different... not different bad, not different good...just different. priorities have changed, tastes have changes, friends have changed. i think i'm happier now. i got a lot of things figured out this past year. i have most things under control.
even though i think so much changed in my life this past year (and they did change, friends moved, health stuff changed, etc)...the next two years are going to be huge...just think... most of my friends will go graduate and move away within the next two years..that's crazy. even though it won't be for at least 6 months, it worries me now. i'm so bad at keeping up with people who move. but some of the most important people in my life will be leaving and i don't want t lose them forever.
we're all so complacent in our lives here. i'm not ready to give it all up. if im this nostalgic as a junior, senior year is going to be tough. =]
ha guess i just needed to get the rest of my 04 feelings out before i get a fresh start in 05. now that i understand things a little better, i want to do them better. no excuses. obviously ever year i'm going to learn more and i can't wait to look back on this is like 5 years at laugh at my stupidity.
one thing i learned this year that i hope you all realize is to be thankful for ur sadness and ur pain. sometimes i wish i never felt a thing because the hurt seems unbearble at times, but that's selfish. i know people who feel nothing and it kills them. don't ever wish nothingness upon yourself. while you can teach yourself not to care, it is nearly impossible to get yourself to care about something. when i got hurt the other night, i was upset that the same thing kept hurting me over and over. but then i realized what a blessing that is.
i'm here for all of you. just please don't forget that.
say a prayer for the tsunami victims...80,000 dead and the death tolls are rising. i can't even begin to fathom...

before you think you understand.. remember EVERYONE is hiding something, everyone is leaving out details about something, everyone is changing the truth about something, everyone is weak to something
everyone. you'd be surprised at just how much don't know about someone you think you have all figured out.

today i spent the afternoon with a guy who loves his gf more than the world. he would do anything to make her happy, can't stop thinking about her, and treats her wonderfully.
that's what i want. i don't deserve it but i want it.
the older i get the more i realize how everything in life is circumstantial. when you are young you are taught right from wrong, black from white. the more i learn, the more shades of gray i see. it just goes to show how you can't judge a person or a situation because everyone is different and life is a matter of perspective. i'm curious to see my opinions and views in 10 years. we think we have it all figured out but we have no idea...

sincerely yours, me
not every seventeen year old guy would walk a mile listening to the sound of music casette full blast in my old school fisherprice casette player. not every seventeen year old guy would hold my hand while i publically humiliated myself by running and dancing and singing around.
