Already the week has been bad, and I will role down the list of why this is…

1. My Dad had a heart-attack
2. Because of #1, I haven’t had much sleep
3. Because of #2, I haven’t been very alert
4. Because of #3, I have been very repeditive
5. Because of #3, I have been very repeditive

Anyway, you get the jist of it all. It hasn’t been a good week so far. I will say, however, that the engagement party went quite well. Even if my Mom and Dad could not make it because of the previously mentioned incident. I was still able to have a good time and get my mind off of the events of the day, and the events to come.

Here at work again, its early. Coffee can only do so many miricles at once. Sure I am awake, but how useful am I at this ungodly hour? Little wonders never cease. I guess I should get kicking on this whole work thing. I mean, i am getting paid to be up before the sun.

Whatever happened to the days when we were kids? Freedom in the summer. Bicycles were our primary form of trasportation, and we were only limited to how far we were willing to bike. The hot summers didn’t seem to have an effect on our days in the sun. Ride down to the seven eleven, and grab a big gulp of brainfreeze.

I used to love the days when my friends would come over to the house, and we could hop on our ten speeds and let the day take us where we wanted to go. No money to buy great wonderful things, just the company of our childhood friends, and the freedom of the long summer days, and warm muggy nights.

Look at us now. We wake up in the morning with our suits and ties, to go to our jobs just in order to break even. The hot, bright sun is our enemy in our nice clothes. The days of childhood are gone, and there is nothing we can do to bring those days back, just the memories of our carefree youth.

You’re going to get mad at me for that?  You never asked before.  I don’t tell you everything I do, and I know you don’t tell me everything you do. But what the fuck? I never say anything to you when you go shopping. Why should you bite my head off for something as simple as that? Sometimes I wonder if I have to report my every single activity. I was never that open before. Now I feel as if you don’t trust me. Jesus. I guess I will hand you my report of my weekly activities for you to review and approve.

Fuck it.

As it has become tradition with everybody on LJ to do their new year’s post of things they did, didn’t, and wished they could have done, I will follow in stride. This past year has been quite good to me. I have my fiance, a good job, and great friends who have always been there for me. And in keeping with tradition once again, we went to a great party for New Year’s. Although we were supposed to host our own party, Dave came through last minute with a kick ass party (keg included).
What makes his parties so great to me are the people there. We are all completely different but share similar interest in music and culture. I mean take the likes of Sheree, Cleve, Richard, Bret, and myself. Can you find any other group of people that are more different than this? However, we all seem to have gathered at this place with the utmost love and understanding for what we are, and not to sound too cheesey, but who we are as well.
Enough about me going on about how people are great, and how the world is a better place because of it. I will no longer drop to that level of ‘60 earth pop folk. Let’s talk about resolutions…
I have none. I will never have any resolutions. Resolutions are meant to be broken so I will not make the mistake of making them in the first place. I will however try my damnedest to not be a fat ass.

Happy 2004
Love you all,
-John
