Happy New Year!!!

I want to keep this post short. I'll give you a heads up- I am under the influence of alcoholic beverages and I therefore may make spelling and gramatical errors that i am in no mood to correct, and probably wont be in any mood to correct in the next 24 hours either, when i finally wake up.

So 2009 is here. I had a great time tonight. I went to my friend kandace'sshouse at around 8 in the evening and didnt leave till after 1 am. we played 2 rounds of beer pong, one was me and my girlfriend vs kandace and her friend dawn, and the other was just me vs kandace. my team/me lost both times lol. it was still fun. then we did shots. jack and vodka and whatnot. kandaces friend dawn was the only one to vomit. i made out with my gf quite a bit.

we missed the ball dropping.. idk waht whapppned. i guess we were tood runk.. like a minute before we deffinitely knew it was just a minute left and then all of a sudden it was 2009 and we were like wtf... so we rewinded the tv and watched it again llol. we set off fireworks and blew horns and did crazy shit outside while shitfaced.

if there is any actual meaning to this post ill say this.
2008 was a year of mixed emotions, challenges, changes, struggles, triumphs, and trials and tribulations. for myself and my family it was a trying year, but at the same time i actually going to say that it was one of the best years of my entire life. alot of good things happened. i got my drivers license, i made new friends, i got into a relationship for the first time in a long time, i partied more in this year than in my entire life before and even tho i did alot of bad ass stuff and even got in trouble a couple of times both with my parents and the cops.. i ddont regret one single thing i did as far as drinking and other indulgences. it was all worth it and im going to continue idc what anyone says.

if anyone is reading this id like you to comment answering the following- for your yourself, what were the 3 best events of the year and what were the 3 worst? overall, what would your rating be for the year from 1-10 with 10 being the best? lastly, 2 part question- were you able to keep any of your resolutions for 2008? what are your resolutions of 2009?

i'll answer- 3 best things this year
1. I made lots of new friends this year and grew quite a bit socially.
2. I had alot of fun- partying, laughing, just hanging out more than ever .(a fair amount of that fun being made possible by the fact that i got my drivers license in july)
3. I discovered who I was quite a bit this year. i discovered who my true friends were and what my crowd is and where i fit in and where i dont.

3 worst things:

1. Both of my parents got sick this year. they were both hospitalized and the ambulance came to my house not once but twice.. my dad had complications after surgery in the spring and then just afew weeks after he finally got back to work he tore his rotator cuff and was out of work for over a month undergoing intensive physical therapy and on high doses of NSAIDS. my mom contracted MRSA and was out of work for 8 days and was on topical, oral and IV antibiotics and was seen in the hospital for it.
2. i lost my job 3 days before xmas this year. it sucks not having any job and no money.
3. i discovered my true weakness in the academic area of mathematics and how much grief it could cause me... thats somthing thats going to coipntinue into 2009 unfortunately

overall i would say the good far outweighed the bad. on january 1 of 2008 under the influence of alcohol i made many many many many many new years resolutions that included but were in no way limited to ; get in shape, stop being late to school, and HAVE A BLAST IN 2008. well when it all boiled down i still hadnt hit the gym and i was still arriving 20 minutes late to school every day.. but i DID have a blast in 2008 and i truly enjoyed myself. having a blast in 2008 wwas t the only resolution i managed to keep and therfore.. my resolution for 2009... HAVE A BLAST THIS YEAR!! when im sober ill do a post abotu why i think most new years resolutinos are a load of crap.

as a whole overall rating- id rate 2009 at an 8. i really really enjoyed the year and once again, even tho i was no angel this year i dont regret any of the badass stuff i did at all .im very happy with how the year went and i hope my family can be healthier in 2009!

to everyone- happy new year and a happy and healthy healthy healthy 2009 to you and your family!!! take care of yourselves and your families and above all, HAVE A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!
