Happy New Year!
It's 2010 and cars can fly. That's what I watched on my countdown to ring in the New Year - Travis Pastrana breaking the world record for the longest rally car jump ever. And let me tell you, the anticipation was a lot more exciting than a ball dropping. It's so good that I found it for you on youtube; check it out: Jumping into the New Year
New Year Resolution: I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions and hope to be on a constant path toward self-improvement. Always. Losing weight is never one of these things. Neither is quitting things like smoking, drinking, or anything else people try to quit, because, I'm not a quitter. Completing this Cannonball Read can be one of those things, but I already resoluthisized that in November.
Did you notice that some people are wishing other people a "Happy New Year's" with an apostrophe 's.' That bothers me. I was trying to figure out where that comes from, and I think it's because we say "New Year's Day," so somehow it is correct to wish someone a "Happy New Year's." Just like the placement of the apostrophe when you try to make 2009 09. I've seen 09' which means, yet again, we've forgotten the purpose of the apostrophe. When we shorten a word/number, the apostrophe addresses the omitted part. And, I can't believe I just ranted about apostrophes...
Happy New Year!
The upside to life is that when things get shitty, they can only get better (I'm assuming that we have already hit rock bottom), so I have a feeling 2010 will be a much better year.
All joking aside, I had an excellent 2009, and I look forward with excitement as I start another year, 2010. I'm thankful to be alive to see another year... that's all that matters when you break it down anyway, right?
