time is contagious, everybody's getting old
i think i'm long overdue for an update on this thing... in fact, this is my first entry of the year.

i feel like i'm actually entering adulthood. i wake up each morning, go to work for 8-10 hours, and then go home, and i usually stay there. i'm only 22, but i'm getting old... i can feel it in my bones. 

speaking of feelings, one of the best feelings in the world is when you lay down to sleep, and you think to yourself, "Today was a good day."

moving along, it's been a good year so far... i've started up at a new job  that i actually like, i spend my weekends with people whose company i very much so enjoy, and to top that all off, i just got back from a fantastic vacation to las vegas.

my dad's been wanting to take me to vegas for a long long time... he'd always say, "when you're 21, you're coming!", and once i was 21, i told him i'd go once i got out of school... so i went. it was definitely an experience, i'll say that much. overall, it wasn't quite my kind of place in that it was busy and loud, with lots of tourists; i prefer quieter settings in general. however, the shows i went to were great, and it was just nice to do something with my dad again. i feel like i don't show him how much i care as often as i should... i love my dad, i love my family. blood is thicker than water, you know.

i'll stop there before i get too sappy... but, in case anyone wants to see pictures, they're here: http://picasaweb.google.com/therosser

all that aside, there are a lot of movies i want to see that are coming out very soon! ghost rider, the number 23, 300, the last mimzy... i think there are more but i can't quite remember them right now.

hmm, i just realized it's officially valentine's day. this day makes me think of you.

speaking of thinking, the thought just popped into my head that i'm probably at least 25% done with my life.

i often see people upset, or in bad moods, and sure, i waver every now and then... but what's the point in living life in despair? a life you don't love is a life not worth living.

one last random thought before i go: one of my favorite things in life is the unexpected recollection of a forgotten memory. sometimes, you'll just be walking down the street, and you'll see something, hear something, smell something... and BAM! you remember a long-gone experience, and for just a moment, you're taken back to that time, and the feelings you felt then surge through you. and when that moment's over, you snap back into reality and the colorful memory fades to gray, waiting to be remembered once again.

that's all i have to say for now, it's time to lay down to sleep.



Today was a good day.
