Obligatory New Year Post

January 2, 2009.

Crazy.

Well, New Years Eve didn't completely disappoint this year. I think it's because I had no expectations on it. Which is a good thing, but severely making me question the expectations that I put on things in general and how it consistently sets me up for disappointment. What do you do with that? It seems like a rather bleak life to not put any expectations on anything or anyone, but when you set yourself up for failure, something needs to change. Oh well. Another year to learn. :)

I got to bring in New Years Day with lots of good friends too. Had brunch and debated deep theological complications with Lindsay. Laid around and watched a movie. Took the annual New Years Day walk in the cold. And then proceeded to binge on Toppers with Andy and Adam and watch what I believe is now my absolute favorite show, Freaks and Geeks. It really couldn't have gotten much better.

I got to go home for about a week total. Pretty great. Got to see some old friends that I hadn't seen in far too long. Nieces and nephews are getting ridiculous big. Brothers and sisters are getting grey hairs. (It pays to be the youngest.) Got to spend some time with my parents. (I have a great story about them, but I'll have to put it up later. I have to get to work now.)

But. All in all...

2009, I have no expectations on you, but confidence that you will deliver, if nothing else, learning, as years past have always done.
