To anyone who reads this: I hope 2009 is a happy year for you, that your dreams become a reality and that you find your forward momentum.

MY NYE kinda sucked. Like with Christmas, I was by myself. I wasn't always going to be by myself but then I couldn't go out because I couldn't wear shoes. Seems i was bitten by something and now my feet are covered in blisters.

Oh yeah, Christmas sucked too - just so you know. Working in retail on christmas day always is going to be a downer. Let alone coming back to an empty house with no appetite.

So yeah two major holiday celebratory days that blew by me like they were just other days.

Last night was spent listening to instrumental scores, watching bad 90's teen movies (ah the nostalgia) and reading 'One Bullet Away' by Nathaniel Fick (an autobiography from a platoon commander in the US Marine's and one of the CO's in Generation Kill).

my brother is home for a while before heading off to do extra training for Afghanistan. He's going to give me his body weight circuit and his Fartlek course to do, because he thinks my other brothers training regime is a POS (like I do! imagine that).

So yeah, now I sit around wish my feet would stop hurting so much. urgh.
