Happy New Year!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year. May 2008 be a great year for everyone. I’ve not made any resolutions this year, yet. We’ll see.

New Years Eve was fun. My old college roommate Charlie was in town with his girlfriend Lauren. He had some people over and it was good to catch up with both of them. Made me realize how much I miss college and hanging out with the group of people that I used to be close with. Charlie is hopping around the country in a Med School program. Lauren is still in Springfield, but the rest of my friends from college are spread around the country, most being in Kansas City, but some in Chicago. For those still in college, don’t take these years for granted. You’ll meet some great people while you’re there and will miss them when you part ways. Enjoy it while you can. Live those moments to the fullest.

Someone in the Habari IRC channel said this today and I think it’s perfect, so I’ll say it again here:

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
