Enter the Future
December 31, 1999
Conan O’Brien’s “In The Year 2000″ bit is now obsolete. What once was a childhood dream, now is reality – living in the year 2001. Disney movies such as 2001: A Space Oddysey now look pathetic compared to today’s technology.
My friends, welcome to the future.
Yesternight marked the annual event that is held in a little basement of a little town in this little world. The event: DF2k1. The place: my house (sadly). 19 people came: some left early (sorry to all you bored people), some left late, some left unconsciously. I hosted the event somewhat so sadly I couldn’t drink as much as I wanted to since I needed to maintain control over people. Most people probably got buzzed, a few were plastered to the walls, one guy slept on my lawn for awhile. Conclusion: I guess it was a pretty ok party. The countdown kind of sucked. You’d think that 10, 9, 8… bit would be the highlight, but only me and eri were kissing at the stroke of midnight.
I should have taken pictures but alas, I was too busy bringing out drinks, frowning on spills, and trying to jump from group to group keeping people from being bored. Some group drinking games were played so that was good. Fuck it is hard getting different groups together. I think there were 4 groups plus at least 2 sub-groups within those groups. That’s why I don’t like mixing groups – it’s hard to please all and I don’t like people being bored. So I sincerely apologize to those who felt left out or bored last night.
As for pictures, Brian took many intriguing snaps that have people in awkward positions. Justin surprisingly is not involved in any of them. I have them and will post them up but for now, please redirect your browser slightly to Brian’s page for the lowdown.
This Day; This Month; This Year
If you love me as much as everyone else does, you’ll be interested in my resolutions and plans and crap like that. But if you’re part of the puny minority that doesn’t love me, then first: screw you, second: read it anyway for fun.
This day: I spent the early part cleaning up my mess. You bastards left a lot of cans full you know! But it’s ok I guess, it’s expected. I need to get into the whole school loop of waking up early and doing homework and studying – wait.. I don’t do that. But you know what I mean.
This month: I’ve put away the redesign because I don’t think I can do all the things with photoshop that I want so I’ll try to practise some more and maybe get it done soon. I found a good host for my webpage so maybe I’ll just shove this page up there first. I don’t really want to do that though.
This year: well, this term first – I have 2 accounting courses (on the same days) that I MUST positively absolutely do well in if I want a future. No pressure. I’m also planning to take a japanese course with Aaron that begins in 3 weeks. Um… I plan to be with my wife too. Then in the summer, when my wife goes home, I plan to work as much as I can to take up my free time so I won’t be sad that my honey isn’t here. I plan to work out more and get into training again… something very important to me that I’ve neglected for 3 months, 22 days. Incidentally, 3 months and 22 days is exactly the time that I have been with my honey. Coincidence! Then hopefully my baby will be back in August so I’ll be with her. Then I start school again in Sept and hopefully, if I work really hard all summer and don’t spent a dime, I’ll go to Japan in December. Can you imagine that? Me! In Japan! The last time (and only time) I was there, I was in the tokyo airport for 3 hours.
That’s my year. Lots to do. I better get starting… NOW.
