It was the best of times, it was the worst of times a.k.a 2005. What a year this has been. Just like any year it had its highs and lows. I would have to say that this was the year that I've grown the most as a person. But I still have a long way to go. I'm almost an adult now and its time I start acting like it. My goals for the new year (atleast for the beginning of the new year):

Drink less, work out regularly, study, focus, treat people better, become a better friend...

Shout outs:

Kevin- i don't even know where to begin. We've been through some pretty crazy stuff this year, but you are my best friend and it all works out in the end. We seemed to fight alot more in 05 than we had in the past but at the end of the day none of it matters. You are always gonna be my best friend and I'll do anything for you.

Oscar- We drink too much. You know better than anyone how crazy this year has been. Drama out the ass. I'm glad I've got you here to keep me sane and in check. I'm thankful and very lucky to have you to help me get through all of the stuff I go through. Like i said to Kevin...I'll do anything for you.

Whitney- The one true love of my life. 2005 brought an end to what we had and I spent the entire year wanting that back. I don't know if i can do it anymore. The feelings will never go away, but I have to move on if you don't want to give it another try. I don't want to wait til the end of college to try again and if you really want to be together then you wouldn't want to wait either. But I appreciate everything you have given me in life, you are the reason why I've grown so much. You'll never know how much you mean to me and how much you have taught me. I will always love you.

Katie- I owe you the biggest apology for everything. You deserve the best. I wish things could be different and easier, but they can't. I told you at the beginning of the summer that I didn't want to get too into things, but we did. We did because you are an amazing girl and thats just how things worked out. If i had to do it over again i wouldn't change a thing. Keep your head up...i really believe something great is waiting for you. You just have to turn the corner and open your eyes.

Cece- My best female friend. I don't know what I would do if i never met you. For one thing my life would be a whole lot less interesting. Thank you for always being there and lending an ear. Our friendship is something special and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Brian- My bad bmass. You are by far the best roommate i've ever had...well i've only had you and David, but we all know i don't give a damn about David. It really sucked not havin you up in Lawrence this semester but I know you'll get your shit together and get back here soon. I got your back for anything.

To all the people in my life- each and everyone of you has effected me in someway or antother. You have all made me into the person I am now...and the man that i will soon be. Thank you for everything.

So 2006 is here. I have no idea where this year will take me. I'm excited to continue my personal growth and face life. I've got some amazing people around me and I think I'm ready for it. I know this year will be great, and I know this year is gonna suck...but thats life. Lets try and make the best of it.
