phresh start.

a new year means new beginnings. we can all finally let go of the mistakes of 2008 - the drunken hook-ups, the parking tickets, the fake friendships that got us through the holidays. i didn't make a new year's resolution this year because nobody ever keeps them. they're just like some made up tradition someone thought would be a good idea, but totally wasn't. actually, i guess you could say i have a resolution - but it's not for the new year; it's for the every day: to stop letting life get in the way of dreams. i really over analyze everything from what color i should paint my nails to what major i should declare - you know, red polish chips easily and is very noticeable and journalism isn't really going to make me any money but here i am typing away on my macbook with my chipped red nails - oh the irony. i want to stop thinking so much. i think thinking so much takes the fun out of things, takes the element of surprise away, and dries up the spontaneity. so, hopefully i'll succeed.. here's hoping.

anyway, my advice for this great 2009 is to do something for yourself. keep in mind that this is the first and last 2009, this is the be all and end all of 2009's anybody will ever witness! alright, so you don't have to get that in depth, but seriously, it is pretty awesome to think that we get to live this amazing year that will end in 365 days and never exist again. remember that you are the most important person in the world - honestly. without you, life would be less interesting.
