auld lang swine or whatever

so this is officially the first post of the new year. i figure i'm going to continue on whatever strain i start on, so i mind as well make that strain a good one, don't you think?

2005 was lame, 2006 is full of promise. and this is why.

1) i'm getting better at cello.
2) my ulcer has to be going away.
3) my classes next semester are going to be sweet, espeically jazz band.

and there are specific long term hopes too. that is what is different. i have hope. cool! 2005= hope is a disease. 2006= hope is a breath of life in stagnacy.

i'm not really sure i want to go back to western, but i will. just because something isn't fun doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. i mean, practicing cello isn't fun all of the time. but i do it to better my passion. college, or more specifically western, is the same. so...we'll just have to see.

GOALS:
1. dvorak cello concerto by next fall semester. it is such a beautiful piece of music, just passion. not dinky stupid classical era etude silliness. real aspects of soul, ways that i can discover and embody my own humanity and that of those around me.
2. take better care of my self. the ulcer thing is my fault. square meals. etc. no more forgetting to eat. that is so pathetic.
3. STOP BITING NAILS
