Out with the bad... in with the good... please.

Hope everyone's Christmas or Holiday weekend was MERRY!

I traveled a few hours by highway to spend it with my folks and it was a nice time. It had it's fun moments and the oh-my-gosh-we-left-some-gifts-at-home-oh wait-here-it-is moments and no family gathering is complete without some heated squabble now and then. But all in all it was a great time and "Opening gifts Part" was pretty cool too.

I don't know why I feel like 2004 has been a rather tough year in general, and that 2005 will be the "Good" year. The year where great memories will be made and I'll learn how to handle stress better and maybe take a better inventory of the things that make life good and surround myself with more of that. When you have spontaneous get togethers with friends you haven't seen in a long time... you realize that this is one of the gems of life... the friendships and joy of being with cool people.

The Tsunami Tragedy in Asia is heart breaking. So many people's lives wiped away so quickly. A reminder that no matter how much we invent things to sustain life or even a certain lifestyle... that nature can just turn an angry face and show the world whose boss. I just hope that some good will come of it... that the world comes together if only for a moment to help and offer aid.


Well, since i'm on this animated gif kick, I thought this cute little father time would be appropriate. :)





Have a wonderful and SAFE New Years.
