Old Friends, New Beginnings

The new year has come and gone once more. This New Year's Eve was one of the best in recent memory--spent with some good friends, many of which I haven't seen in almost three years. It was a great reunion, and seeing my old friend happily married reminded me of what I wish for in a mate: someone that will accept me for what I am and as I am; someone that I can grow old with. Normally I don't do New Years resolutions. Simply from the fact that for the vast majority of people, they are things that they will do for about two weeks and then just say, "The hell with it." I won't do that. But because of something that happened in 2005, I am going to re-instate a promise I made to myself after I graduated from high school. No Regrets. Since I graduated from LHS, I lived my life with no regrets. I promised myself that whatever I did, I would have no regrets about it. I wouldn't regret where my money was spent, how I spent my time, or the choices I made. I broke that promise to myself this last September; it will be a regret I will carry with me the rest of my life. But it is a principle which has shaped me into the individual I have become since high school, and so it is one worth keeping. The other resolution I am putting forth is to update this blog more regularly. I know that I have some people that read this blog, and it is unfair to you when I will update 3 times in a week and then not update again for a month. So I will try my best to have a more regular schedule of updating these Memoirs, even if that is only once a week.
