Just for the record, this may be one of the shortest posts I've written yet. I recently downloaded an app onto my iPhone which enables me to blog on the go, and needless to say I'm sure you can all imagine that although it may be of convenience it is also rather troublesome. But anyways, to the meat and potatoes. I would first like to wish everyone a very very happy new year. While I would like to think that this new year holds many highlights and rewards for me, I have to be honest and admit that in a way it almost frightens me...something that I'm not so used to feeling.
To me, the year 2012 presents me with an extensive collection of uncertainties and challenges, but in order to see this in a positive light, I must remind myself that nothing good ever becomes a reality without some hard work and dedication, and of course several sacrifices along the way. One of the most prominent issues in my life right now, and for the foreseeable future, is the commencement of my conscientious objection, which I made official on the 26th of last month. The ball has began rolling with this process, which is nowhere near an easy nor a forgiving task, but I say again, all good things come with hard work and dedication. Even still, realistically speaking I truly only stand a 53% chance of being approved for discharge. Henceforth: positivity.
On the personal side of life, things remain fluid as they always have been. My time with James during the holidays was everything I wished for it to be, and exponentially more. I can honestly say that what had been an already good friendship (so much that he flew all the way from California to spend part of the holidays with me) has only evolved into a something special; he is a friend that I wish to keep for a lifetime, and in my books it takes someone very special for me to see them in that light. New year's eve was an absolute rage with him, my good friend Danny, and a collection of others. Probably one of my most memorable new years eve in my adult life; very close to comparison with the daring experience a few years ago at Gilbert's house hahahahaha, I shall not speak details of that night on here though (but some of you already know.)
As always, I have developed a very strong regiment of goals I wish to accomplish in the coming weeks and months, some in the likes of monetary gains and physical losses through extensive exercise. I have to decided to cut beer out of my alcohol intake, and some of you know that it is an extremely difficult task for me. In regards to drinking, I have also decided that I will indulge in such activities only one night per week. I have been working out twice a day in order to get back in the shape I was my freshman year of university. Furthermore, I have begun teaching myself Portuguese extensively every night, while making a conscious effort to maintain a decent regiment of German, although I think I have found someone in my life recently that may facilitate that too ;)
As you all know, when I blog about certain people it is because I hold them to the highest regards, especially if I have only recently met them. I blogged about Anna in my last post and hope that I successfully conveyed my utter appreciation for having had the opportunity to have met her. I have quickly and almost unexpectedly became intrigued, captivated, perhaps memorized by her, and that's not an easy thing for me to say. I am truly excited about being fortunate enough to get to learn another person that is equally attracted to me as I am of her. Although only a little bit of time permits, this weekend I will be traveling a little north to spend some time with her :) I'm not sure why, but something tells me something very very special lies ahead, and if not, well I am going to enjoy every minute of it. As I told James on Monday night at dinner, although the future holds many uncertainties for me that I may not even be aware of, it is no reason to hold myself back from enjoying everything that today presents me with, and that is exactly what I plan to do :) Every today that we get is beautiful, and I would be a fool to not enjoying every single day I can as tomorrow is never promised. Life is amazing. I must apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors on this post as I wrote it through my phone, I was just long over due for writing. I hope this post will suffice for everyone that has been asking me for updates. I love you all! Cheers.
