New Years Boycott
January 1, 2009 - 9:37 pm UTC
OK, so I don’t really boycott the new year. However, I don’t celebrate the new year or New Years Eve. I don’t look back on that one day every year and reflect on my life. I’m constantly reflecting on my life, my struggles, successes, and failures. Sometimes I focus on it a bit too much, so I just kind of ignore a holiday that focuses on such things. Instead, I sleep.
I did try to work out a Star Wars marathon for last night, but that was just to have a fun reason to hang out with friends. We attempted to start one today, didn’t really finish; I don’t think it helps that I ended up going down for a nap.
What I will do, however, is to wish everyone a good year ahead of them. This one promises to be big for me since our family will be larger by one.

Stop and Shop also has “fresh” ravioli in the deli section too… soooo good!

I think of it as a time to get a fresh start since I don’t operate on “semesters” anymore. Or at least that is my outlook for this year. I’m not into making resolutions or anything. We had a good time last night with some neighbors. New Years was never a big thing for me before but Chris has sort of changed that for me now. When we first met I couldn’t get over how all of his friends from high school & family members would call each other on New Years at midnight to wish each other a happy new year. It was a big deal for them. I still can’t bring myself to call anyone that late, if its past 9pm its just too ingrained in me to not bother anyone.
I haven’t watched Star Wars in so long. I am thinking of picking up some Star Wars books for the first time in 4 or 5 years though. They’ve got a few new things that look interesting and I do have fond memories from that era in my life. I’m thinking about it anyway.

January 5th, 2009 @ 1:13 pm UTCI don’t really reflect either. If friends are around, we drink and be merry but this year we also had a quiet marathon movie night. We did Batman Begins and Dark Knight on the the blu – and wow, even better than the theater.
@Natalie – I get a craving to read a star wars book every once and a while. I haven’t actually come through on that yet. It’s mostly because Lucas ruined the magic for me. Darn him.
