So this is the New Year...

It's a good song by Death Cab for Cutie... The New Year.

So this is the new year.
And I don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal, explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogues bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then I could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that can hold us back.

There'd be no distance that could hold us back
So this is the new year

It's a weird situation - things are hopeful, but in my heart I wonder how much can really change just because we count down until the year changes?

My closests friends are already in 2009... I miss them. I feel left behind all over again (just kidding).

Resolutions are useless, but whatever. I'm going to make a list of things to do in 2009.

1. Develop my business to include event planning.
2. Write a business plan and apply for federal and provincial small-business grants.
3. Have a staff of 10 or so people.
4. Get promoted at work.
5. Travel somewhere new.
6. Move into my own apartment.
7. Move to LA (or try my very best to get as close as I can)
8. Go to Europe.

All the best in 09...
