HAPPY NEW YEAR!
and what a way to start the New Year by building my very first Zoid! i bought a Liger Zero Phoenix yesterday and i finished the Liger just in time for 12 midnight! YAY! i'll try to post some pictures soon!
on another note... i now consider my brother a lost cause. he's gone and become a born-again zealot. he's now one of those "chosen by God above all others" who think that everybody else is in a poor, pitifully bad way. ah well... i guess i'll have to warn our mother about this sooner or later...
speaking of mother, i lent my mother a copy of "Blessed Among Women". ok so all this isn't so geeky, but its the new year, there's no work today, and therefore theres nothing geeky to write! anyway, my mother seems a bit incredulous... she's already started reading it but she asked if this book wasn't a work of fiction or something... naturally i said, no, and that it isn't published under the category of "fiction" . i hope she reads it through and through. and i hope she really likes the book in the end.
i also hope my finger heals okay. of all the gosh-darned things to happen on new year's eve -- i cut my left middle finger while working on my new Zoid! i wont describe it in detail here; its too gross even for me to just remember it! suffice to say, typing on the keyboard now feels kind of funny.... *sigh*
ok, things to do this year... (or, if you really must put it this way, "new year's resolutions")...
number 1: sleep early! i really have to will myself to get rid of this insomnia!
number 2: be good! ok maybe that sounds like a tall order, but so help me God, i sure as heck will try not to entertain thoughts and feelings of criticism, condemnation, judgement and blame. there's a perfectly good explanation for this, but i don't think this is the right blog to put it in. i'll probably have to put up a "spiritual" blog for this if i really want to...
number 3: actually number 2 already pretty much sums everything up, so there IS no number 3!
looking ahead, i hope to finish my Master's Degree by May this year. i also hope to get into my sister in-law's fashion jewelry business later this year, and try to help out any way i can.
now beyond all this, i can't really look that far ahead so i'll just end by saying all in all, i feel good about the past year and i feel good looking at this new year and the months to come.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN!
