Okay, okay. Maybe I’m taking this whole “being twenty five” thing a little too far, but I really can’t help myself.

This is my year.

I started it off on the right foot for once, and have been taking steps to ensure that I don’t get caught up in the fray. Not again, not ever.

This entry was born out of boredom, the newspaper, and the fact that I have started my father and one of my best friends on the same path. My dad is going to turn fifty next year, so I told him to think of fifty things he wants to do while he’s fifty. Naturally, he scoffed at the idea, but he’s warmed up to it now and starting to come up with ideas. I enjoy the idea of “checking items off a list”, and the extremely Type A side of my personality finds a great deal of satisfaction in this, while the other side of me is thrilled to simply start and have a blast.

Today’s date: February 11th, 2010.
I am already two months behind…damn.
