2005 is finally here! After the 365 and then some days of suffering and bad karma, it is finally here!!! Although 2004 wasn't all that great and I can't really say that it had any highlights, there are still some things that I am thankful for and that I'll remember when I think of 2004.

2. I still have a roof over me head.
3. I am (relatively) healthy (albeit the excessive smoking and drinking)

50. After all the crap that I've been through in the past 12 months, I don't really hatethe world or anyone or anything and I'm actually beginning to like (and even truly love) myself.
My Supah-visor gave me some fabulous advise before 2004 ended. He said, "Own IT!" It's time to take control of my life and of everything that happens in it. I should be the one to decide when I'll be happy, when I'll be sad, when good things will happen and when I'll allow bad things to occur and this year, I WILL! I will do more, think more, say more and whine less. It's time to equalize the BAD KARMA Baby!
So, Welcome 2005! Bring it On!
