December 2009
I cannot judge this past year, because the ups and downs do not weigh out, they are not relative, all I can say is that i've learned a lot.

“When, in a generation or so, a radio-active, cigar-smoking child, picnicking on Saturn, asks you what the Beatle affair was all about — ‘Did you actually know them? — don’t try to explain all about the long hair and the screams! Just play the child a few tracks from this album and he’ll probably understand what it was all about. The kids of AD 2000 will draw from the music much the same sense of well being and warmth as we do today”
— from the liner notes of Beatles For Sale, as written by Derek Taylor (via fuckyeahthebeatles)
SWIM UNTIL YOU CANT SEE LAND
Getting on the plane to Connecticut in a few. My indecisive mind can’t decide if it wants to be back or not, but either way, I’m not looking forward to it.

Cya 2009. You were a year full of surprises.

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I kept all of them except for learning to play guitar. I’ll keep goaling to keep my room clean, keep my grades up and study hard to midterms and finals. Fuck, and SATs. And I’ll resolute to get a job, save up for Colorado, GET TO COLORADO, work on getting a license and all that crap that comes with being sixteen.

I’m not going back. I’m not going back back back back.
Because I’m listening to that song right now and I think it fits.
