it is officially 2011, a new year and hopefully one of change and better chances for everyone. last night i spent my new years eve in the usual ways and had a lot of fun. i saw minority report for the first time and i really had no idea it was that good >_> didn’t know it was written originally by an author i like as well! (phillip k dick). i slept wonderfully and now i am awake and laughing at everyone’s hangover tweets.

this year i hope to really focus on myself, my health, and de-stressing my every day life. i also hope to be more meticulous with my organization of things, like my bedroom… and this website for that matter! i plan to try and keep up with EVERYTHING i am subscribed to, feed readers, social websites, etc, every day, and hopefully get myself out of this cave of solitude i have built up around me for a while now.

i have a lot of work ahead of me, but i am hoping to keep optimistic about this year.

tonight my mom and i are having what should have been giftmas dinner. ham, baked mac and cheese, and other fixins. sounds like a perfect new years day meal to me! in this area a lot of people eat hog jowls (YUCK!) and black eyed peas for good luck. do you have any special new years day rituals?
