First Post of 2010

This will likely be a short one, as it's super late and I'm incredibly tired. I figured it's only right that I give this blog a little love before I take off.

I also made a few changes to the layout. Thought I'd give this thing a touch of my school's colors for a sense of individuality (?), and because the default template colors I previously used were putrid.

Well, it's 2010. A whole new year, and a whole new decade (to those who agree that the decade begins on the zero year and NOT the one year). We're venturing into the thicket of the 21st century, and not a single car has taken to the sky yet. Cell phones are replacing computers, ancient sports records are being broken one by one, and the History Channel believes we only have two years left before life on Earth is completely eradicated. Better get some canned survival food.

A new year is like a your second trip to the buffet. You get a new plate, you have a variety of food to choose, and what you do to that plate is up to you. Right now, at the beginning of the year, the plate is clean, but as you add more to it, it gets messy, yet could possibly turn out better than the last trip.

And there you have it, folks. The worst analogy ever created.

Nevertheless, while 2010 offers new resolutions and goals for many, my 2010 appears to be a continuation of things I've already set out for. I'll be in school, now fully settled into UGA. I'll eventually have a new job, and I may actually take some time out of my life to start thinking about my future. My girlfriend and I began dating about halfway through December, meaning we have this whole year to make great memories. All in all, it looks to be a pretty straightforward 365 days ahead.

However, if there's one goal I would like to set for myself, it's promising myself to travel a bit in the near future. I will be seeing the Grand Canyon this summer, and plan on using some family inheritance money to have a small vacation with my girlfriend. Then it'll be time to start saving some money for the post-graduation adventure across Europe, which anyone with a desire to be educated in culture should do at some point. I'm tired of being pinned down in Northeast Georgia. Time to set sail.

For now, my only option is to set sail to my bed.

Goodnight,

Mitch
