this is what happens when you listen to sappy holiday music...

i don't know what to write, i've sat here for the past 15 minutes trying to write something deep and worth reading/writing. there isn't much to update except that i'm generally having a pretty good time living life. yeah... it's not all rainbows and cute puppies... but i can't complain. i have a family that (despite being crazy and so good at driving me up the wall) loves me, friends that love me, a job that puts money in my bank account, good health etc... and all that good stuff.

OK what's really on my mind... the xmas holidays always seem to evoke a melancholic feeling in me. but this year it was different. xmas came and went with out too much of a thought. no tree this year, not even our ficus was decorated. no lights or decorations on the house. just the mindless routine of going to some family member's house, eating way too much food, shooting the shit with uncles i haven't seen since last xmas, and explaining over and over again where bishop is to someone who barely knows where yosemite is. it was slightly disconcerting that this season wasn't even melancholic... it was just another day. which i guess is true. well, happy new year folks. it's going to be 2009 and we're all going to look the same come january 1st.

btw... the fiddle is beautiful!

highlights of the late

bishop--> bay area--> san diego--> bishop

driving through the mojave with "i wanna dance with somebody" by whitney houston BLASTING and singing at the top of my lungs. oh my gosh that was so much fun :)

swimming in the ocean and getting slammed by the waves. trying to body surf. getting high off life watching the sun set over the pacific.

heart to heart with the brother. sitting on the carpet and talking.

spending an evening catching up with old friends and old flames.

brain exploding with information about fire. unlimited coffee and breath mints.

wandering the streets of san diego, people watching, exploring the night life, poking fun at aweful cover bands.

listening to hip hop really loud so that i can stay awake in the car.

getting attacked with love by PooDookie and spooning after. waking up with a paw in my face and by best friend beside me :)
