twentyten

i hope that the new year is treating you all nicely! for those of you who took some time off to chill with family and friends (and maybe pets), welcome back to the real world. and if you're in places where you are greeted by snow/rain/chilly winds, welcome to the COLD real world. obviously, being less cynical is not one of my new year's resolution. 

BUT in all honesty, i would like to wish you a wonderful new decade. to celebrate that, i thought i could share some of my moments of enlightenment...

1. your body REALLY ages, so if you decide to pop a zit, be ready to bear the scar for an extended period of time. 

2. although your body ages, you can still be rather youthful in all other senses. case in point: daddy dearest. 

3. being youthful is never overrated. it's quite sensational actually! for example, i ventured out to an abandoned warehouse party in brooklyn for new year's eve. it was so underground that i thought i was part of an indie band that never got famous. AND i stayed out till 3:30am. quite unbelievable. 

4. my friends are quite hilarious and that helps me maintain my youth. on the topic of falling asleep (while at work), ayisha provided the following tip:  haha OR fall asleep normally at your desk (head not down) and if anyone accuses you of sleeping, call them a racist and tell them that that's just how your eyes are. 

5. i would like to attend graduate school in new york city. preferably in 2012. 

6. the people in my life are so important to me that i'd like for all of them to move to new york city with me. 

7. the quarter-life crisis can be met with a degree of excitement. just because you're not at mid-life YET. 

8. and if you're at mid-life, well 50 is the new 30. 

9. you change less than you think - i still love my food and bacon. yes, bacon is a category of its own.  

10. i say 20 you say? 

love and miss you all!
