It's New Year's Eve and I just found out.

Well, not really. But it did just dawn on me yesterday. And now it's starting to sink in. Nothing epic is sinking. Just the reality of having to attend a party I don't really want to go to tonight to appease the girlfriend.

But it's quite nice to have a girlfriend (especially this one) to appease so I'm not complaining in the least. Well, maybe just a little. It'd be weird if I didn't.

Got some New Year's Resolutions planned out.

1. Play music in a band (the inclusion of this on the list year after year is getting somewhat increasingly pathetic).

2. Go see a therapist (see above).

3. Never be late for work. I have almost no excuses.

4. Be a twenty-something. Still not 30.

I liked these so much more before I decided to share them.

At work right now. This is probably the first time in 3 months where I've had a chance to do something non-work related while not on a break. What a shitstorm of a fourth quarter.

The Celtics are in big trouble this year. Sheed is a bust. So is Daniels. Rondo can't hit a free throw if a game against the Clippers depended on it. KG has a glass knee. Perkins is the pout master. Ray-Ray way past his prime. Pierce is old as fuck. And Glen Davis is an idiot. Why didn't I see this coming? Or rather, why did I see it coming and choose to ignore it?

At least we crushed Orlando on Christmas.

Still haven't really had a Christmas yet with the family. Susan and Colin came over on the day and watched the game with me. But no real gift exchange stuff.

Birthday was pretty great. I gotta give it to Lindsay. She really went all out. Ice cream birthday cake made from scratch. A mountain of presents. Couldn't have made a guy feel better.

Kevin Koppes. Holy fucking shit. I think everyone's envious of the Poo Log. It's the first time I've seen people actually jealous over the fact that they didn't think of that.

Ben Torgerson. It was too bad we didn't get to spend as much time together as we had hoped. But it was well worth it. And now I have a pile of Dragonlance books to distract me from Game of Thrones. Well played Torgo. Well played.

Jae Choi, it was great to see her too and to have some real quality friend time. Bummer there were no Blazer home games during my visit. Did get to watch a game at a bar with Will Kapp and Ben. I think they hit it off. Though I'm sure both we're skeptical of the other prior to conversation.

Warren is awesome. Who isn't going to love a guy that plays in a badminton league with octogenarians?

Turns out Lindsay and I were at the same Blink 182 concert 9 years ago. I was 20. She was 13. I actually remember seeing her there. Weird.

Slightly creepy.

Half an hour left of work. Susan and Colin are coming over around 5 to test out my new Wii. Fucking shit I love that thing. My fat ass could use the movement too.

Joining a rec basketball league with Shawn in January. Trying to put together at least a ten man team. I won't mind getting outplayed, just don't want any injuries. Might have to get NBA 2k10. Looks like lots of moving around is required.

I tried to do this blog Ben-style. Let me know if I succeeded.

New Blog

Gotta get up today and run some errands. The holidays are almost over. Tomorrow should be the final gift exchange. Still don't have anything yet for my brother Andy. Might not have anything by tomorrow. I'll feel like an ass if I don't but that's just the way things are.

It's coming down pretty good right now. I see it out 3 different windows in my room as I lie in bed with my cat. This doesn't bode well for getting anything done today. I have such an opportunity though, right now, to get so much accomplished. No work, all friends are out of town or are at work, no familial obligations due to weather. And I bet the laundromat is dead silent today. The one right next to Jimmy John's. I could be eating sub after sub after sub while reading and washing clothes. Fuck. I haven't had clean clothes in a few weeks.

I'm 29 years old. Newly though. Probably shouldn't rush into anything just yet. It's best to ease into a new way of doing things. Especially as an older person because things will be done. Like laundry. And maybe some shopping. Oh boy. I should make some coffee.
