As of January 22^nd of this year, according to the chinese calendar, it is now the year 4701. Or, more commonly known in the western-world as the year of the monkey. For those of you that don't know little tidbits of info like this, you probably don't know that I was born in the year of the monkey as well. :)

This is my year. I intend to make the most of it.

I have a job as of today. (as long as my background check comes back OK) I will be gainfully employed as the weekend not-manager at CopyMax. I will be learning the trade of copy/print production, and desktop publishication. (this means that I will be making lots of flyers for people...)

I have a wonderful girlfriend who I love dearly and loves me back just as much. We get along fantastically, even given that we've only been apart for a day or 2 since we started dating on December 5th, 2003. I really like the way that she and I are working out.

I have friends that don't try to stab me in the back. ;) I love you all dearly in Albuquerque, but I'm glad to be out of that drama-fest that tried to involve me on a few occasions. You guys enjoy yourselves, I'm staying out here. I miss a couple of you, you know who you are.

I will be getting a digital camera soonish, and will be posting more pictures for you folks to hate enjoy.

Things in my life are generally less stressful and more enjoyable now than they have been in a long time. I just thought you all should know.
