New Year... same goal

... and that goal is simply to keep moving forward and growing. 2009 is winding down now... only a few more hours to go. This past year hasn't been particularly bad or particularly good... but all in all, it's been better than the previous year was. There's not much to say about 2009, really. I'm simply excited about momving forward. It's the beginning of a new decade.. I can't wait to see what's in store for us all.

Happy New Year everyone, and may all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions (unless you're one of those people who actually keeps their resolutions, lol)

Let it Go

Where there's love there is pain
With the sun comes the rain
Without wrong there'd be no right
Every day begins with night
In a crowd or all alone
Said out loud on telephones
When you give me your hand
With no words I understand

You got no one to run to
You got no one to find you

Stars will explode
Mountains erode
Oceans over flow
Let it go
Now yesterday is too far away
It's the end of the road
Let it go

I found love when there was pain
I felt the sun in pouring rain
I wish all my wrongs I could do right
I wish that you were hear tonight

Stars will explode
Mountains erode
Oceans over flow
Let it go
Now yesterday is too far away
It's the end of the road
Let it go

It's mind over (you don't) matter

For the longest time, I wished I could go back in time and do it all over... and do things right. Today I finally realized... I wouldn't, even if I could. Sure, parts of being able to erase certain people or events from your history would have it's perks; but at the same time, it has it's disadvantages as well. After all, if you changed one thing, wouldn't it completely alter the rest of your life?

This past year in particular, I've wished more than anything that I could take TJ out of my life completely.... and sometimes Jason. But I realize now that I couldn't do that without changing nearly everything about the person I've become today.

There are days when my heart still hurts as badly as it did at the time of the initial heartbreak; but I realize that even if I could spare myself the pain, it would be at the expense of later happiness. As they say, you can't truly appreciate good things without experiencing some bad things as well.

I've had some shitty friends, and shitty luck... but all in all, I'm happy with who I am today. It turns out that all the shitty-ness really is for a greater purpose... and I'm okay with that. I'm very much looking forward to a new year and a new start... as this past year, didn't quite live up to my expectations, but then again, things seldom do.

There are two types of secrets.... those we keep from others, and those we keep from ourselves"

Texts from last night...

I've just discovered one of the funniest sites I've seen in a while... it's called "Texts from Last night".... the funniest text I've seen so far was this

"(843): I had my own version of the Hangover last night. I woke up to a disassembled Christmas tree, shit on the futon, and a hamster in the bathroom with a necklace on that said "Feed Me Bitch." I don't own a hamster. I don't know what I drank last night, but I want to do it again."

Thanks Pete :)

Pretty much anyone who's ever encountered me knows that Fall Out Boy is my Favorite band, and that I love Pete Wentz more any other celebrity on the planet. I found this quote earlier and it just made me smile... just had to share it with everyone.
