Welcome to 2009!

I just want to make this entry short and sweet.

I know that last year wasn't the best for everyone, but life is like that sometimes. You just have to keep on chugging along knowing that when you're feeling knocked down, you can only look up from there. I wish that everyone has a great year this time around, and if you need my help, I'm always here. I'm not superman, but you know that I'll try to help as best as I can. I know I can be a bad person at times, but hey, I'm not perfect! You can't say that I don't try.

2008 was a pretty decent year for me, and I hope to continue the trend through 2009. I wouldn't say that last year was the best, but I'd say that it was one of the most memorable years in recent memory. I feel like my life has been enriched with so many more experiences (both positive and negative) since I moved out to VA, which I'm really thankful for because that's what makes life interesting. I've been in Michigan all this week since I had some time off and miles to use, and I must say that I've enjoyed myself much more than I originally expected. I thought I'd be itching to go back to VA by Wednesday, but now I wish I was here longer. I know and realize that I can't always expect the best out of every situation, so I'm usually prepared no matter what happens.

The new year is turning out as I expected it to be so far, which is good. I don't really have any resolutions this year, aside from trying to use people's names more when I'm telling stories. I know I'm not the best storyteller, but I end up telling stories all of the time, and I realize it can be hard to keep up when I don't use names. What can I say, I like being vague (sometimes) or speaking in code (all the time). :)

Anyway, I'm going to continue onwards with living this life that I've been given and trying to make the most of it.

Sidenote: The parallels are uncanny.

Isn't it weird to enjoy Michigan??? I thought it would be worse than it is but once you get past the snow and freezing cold, it's really a good enough place to spend a little bit of time.

I don't know if you put those quotes at the end or what but that's basically my new years resolution. You can't get something for nothing. People thinking a casino or a state lottery is going to make them rich are fooling themselves. The world just doesn't work that way. I hope more people realize that this year. My goal is to spread that thought to as many people as I see trying to get something great and not actually working towards getting it, thinking it'll just happen.

Very glad to see someone is still using there xanga. Michigan wasn't that bad for me either. I was kind of happy to be home and I wish I could've done more than I did, but less is generally more. Have a safe trip back.

It's weird and great to have a good time at home. Jacob is right...less is generally more. You don't really get to appreciate things until you only get them in small doses.

I find quotes on http://www.quotationspage.com/qotd.html to add to the end of entries. I always think of a quote as an appropriate way to conclude my thoughts, though sometimes the relevance of the quotes only make sense in my mind. :)

BTW, a casino can make you rich if you do put in work trying to learn the appropriate strategies for the games you wish to play. I have a friend from MSU who's done pretty well for himself playing poker:

Hoping to (seriously) strike it rich playing slots on the other hand is a futile attempt for financial freedom, haha.
