Years end
Today is the last day in 2008. I thought (very) briefly about listing memories from the past year, but it's far too early in the day to give my mind that kind of a workout. I didn't really make any new friends this year, it's just not my style, but I'd like to think I've become closer with the ones I already have. Here's to 2009, let's do it right!

8-8
All in all, I had a pretty good Christmas. For some reason it's just not the same as when you're a little kid, I really miss the excitement of it all. I did get myself a sweet gps though, which is tentatively named "Shirley" "Where do you wanna go? ASSHOLE!" After all the Christmas excitement (or lack there of) settled down, I went to Nathan's and got in some golf before the movie. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button wasn't necessarily a bad movie, but the three hours it took to get through it made it seem that way. Plus there's just something really creepy about an old woman in love with a baby.
The following day, I hopped on a plane and headed north for a family photo. The photo turned out to be more of a two hour photo shoot in the 11 degree weather. It was good to see some of my family that I never see, even if it was only for a day. Before I knew it I was back on a plane headed back to San Diego, receiving score updates from the pilot along the way.
I can't imagine a better homecoming reception than watching the Chargers embarrass the Broncos on national television. We had to head to DT for an ice cream social to celebrate.
Playoffs here we come. Everyone squish together, we gotta make some room on the bandwagon.
What a crazy week. The last four days have felt more like ten.

Here’s to bad decisions
What a weekend! What can I say? Friday night we went down to Fashion Valley to finish some last minute Christmas preparations as the anticipation started to build for Saturday. After the mall, we set off to find a place that would pierce Nathan’s lip and officially kick off the winter break. This turned out to be a little more difficult than we planned, but after getting turned down by a couple of sketchy tattoo places, we found a guy who was willing to do it for $21 the following day in honor of his 21st birthday. We then headed to Del Taco for some late night custom cuisine and called it a night.
Saturday started a little earlier than normal as we hit the mall to buy some party clothes. After the mall, we headed to “Wild Bill’s Western Emporium” in search of a bolo tie that would complete Justyn’s entire outfit. We hit a couple more stores and then headed home to rest up for the party. Now I can’t even begin to explain how excited I was for this party. All day I was telling myself to keep my excitement in check and pace myself with the 151…MISSION FAILED! Just before entering the party, we all made a pact to throw caution to the wind and do something we would later regret. All I can say is, I held up my end of the pact. My first mistake of the evening was not eating anything except a tiny sandwich before I set sail on my booze soaked adventure. I lasted a good hour and a half before needing Nathan’s assistance to stumble home and vomit on my floor and pass out. The worst part is, I missed a good percentage of the party and I have Christmas gifts that I can’t even remember getting. I missed one of my best friends turning 21 at midnight, don’t worry Justyn we’ve yet to celebrate but it’s coming. Simply put, I fucked up.
Sunday I spent the majority of the day on “Hangover Island”. The Miracle that the Chargers somehow pulled off was just enough to lift me out of my miserable state.
Wild weekend but it’s time to suck it up…New Years is just around the corner…151 anyone?

Sleep tight
I didn’t get very much sleep last night but, after what happened during the few hours I did sleep, I wish I hadn’t at all. Last night I experienced one of the most vivid/disturbing dreams I’ve ever had. The truth is it really wasn’t anything out of the ordinary which made it all too real for my comfort. In the dream, I’m basically best friends (we appeared to be roommates as well) with someone I’m not terribly fond of. Then, As if the idea of spending the majority of my time with this person wasn’t bad enough, as the dream progresses, I come to realize that the reason we are such close friends is our vast similarity to one another. I then proceeded to wake up in a cold sweat, only to thank God it was only a dream.
I’d rather not disclose the identity of this person since there is no telling who reads this thing. If you must know, just ask.
