New Year....New Attitude?

Later 2004. It was nice knowing you, but I can't say I'll miss you. Well that's not entirely true. 2004 was an odd year in my life. I spent half of it as a stock broker and half of it working in women's fashion. Both had an effect on my life and I'm happy to be where I am right now. 2004 was the year I rebounded from being unemployed for most of 2003. I'm not sure that I grew up any this past year, but I'm finally comfortable with my job.

I spent all of 2004 smoke and fast food free, so that kind of ruled. I am not usually a very strong minded person, so this was quite a feat for me. I would like to think that 2005 is the year I finally focus on my weight loss, but I'm thinking that at 33 it's not going to be easy. And I'm kind of okay being the fat guy. Sometimes it sucks, but I'm pretty comfortable with who I am. I have a dazzling personality, so it all balances out. Bottom line is that I would rather be funny and honest then be a skinny bore.

Last night I capped off the year with all of my roommates while we celebrated both the New Year and my friend Noele's 21st birthday. A rather small affair, considering that Noele's so called "friends" blew her off to go to a place called the Nutty Irishman (I mean SERIOUSLY). But party we did. Click this post to see the photos...apologies for the red eye.

In addition to the usual drunken shenanigans I did what any normal drunk would do and made up with someone that I had been fueding with for quite a while in between shots of vodka and sips of champange. What is it about New Year's Eve that makes everyone get so nice? I'm not saying I regret my decision to kiss and make up, but I honestly didn't see it coming. I was planning on being an obnoxious asshole towards this person the entire evening and before I know it I'm hugging her and apologizing and hoping that we can just go back to normal. Fucking booze. The way I figure it, life's too short to be fucking mad at people all the time. So maybe this is my new year's resolution, be more tolerant of people's actions.

Today I've been a puking mess and I can't say that I'm bothered by it. I have nothing to do and no desire to do anything anyway. I'm relaxing before I fully embrace 2005 and all that it has to offer. I hope you all had a wonderful celebration last night and that 2005 brings you much luck, love and happiness.
