First off, Happy New Year to everyone!

What a week this has been.  Actually, it's been even longer since I last posted anything and believe me, there's a lot of shit going through my mind right now.  But for the first time in a long time, it's all good shit.  If that makes any sense...

Let's see... what happened over the last week or so...

• I went up to Canada with Joy to visit my family for the holidays.
• Zoey surprised me by driving all night and showed up the day after Christmas
• Virginia got engaged to Jeff finally!
• My brother actually stayed up stairs and helped Joy, Zo and myself cook my mom's birthday dinner.
• Zo went to Wal-Mart and bought all the satin blouses they had in her size
• We had some 'classic Quebec food' including hotdogs with chili and poutine
• We all went over to Marz's house and celebrated new year's with her and her mom.

I'm sure there were a few other things that happend too, like building a snowman in the front yard on Decemeber 23 and things like that, but right now it's all good.

We're leaving tomorrow at around noon, so we can be back in Atlantic City by 8 or 9PM.  Honestly, it's been great to see everyone again, but I'm really looking forward to leaving all this snow (and a little of the holiday stress which is expected) behind and getting back to my life in NJ

Yup... hard to say that, but it's true.  My life is there now, not here anymore.  People keep asking me "So you think you'll ever come back home?" and I just smile and tell them, "we'll see..." when in reality I don't see it happening any time soon.

I've also decided to start cleaning out my closests, so to speak.  I know I always say I'll do something like that and get my 'personal' life in order, but now I'm sticking to it.  And when I say personal life, I do mean on the 'female' side of things.  Such as dumping names from my PalmPilot of people I don't really need any more.

Out with the old, in with the new...

Girls like Jess and Nicole... who seem to think they've found 'love' with their current and new relationships.  As un-holiday like as it is to say it, I know it's true that what they have won't last.  And when they become single again, it would be typical of me to chase after them for whatever reason... I guess mainly sex.  But not anymore.  When they do become single, maybe I'll still be friends with them, but that's where it ends.  And I'm doing that for myself more than anything.

It's not fair to anyone to only be friends with them for sex.  Espcially if they want more and I'm just not ready for settle down - at least not with them.  That goes for all the girls out there.  Vee, Joy, Cree, Zo and Tam and even Rach are my closest and most important friends who happen to be girls.  As far as me, I'm not chasing "hood rats" anymore.

These are just some of the thoughts that have been on my mind and one day I'll go through them.  But right now, I've done a lot of thinking and I'm ready to enjoy 2006. 

Let's see what happens next...
