tis the season
of thoughts.
for some odd reason, i haven't been in much of a christmas spirit recently. i mean, there's a cute christmas tree sitting in my living room, and the main window is surrounded by colorful lights, but the actual feeling and mood aren't fully there yet. i expect that the rush of holiday-ness will arrive soon, since my family is flying westward-ho as i type. but recently, i've just been so busy with work and schedules and friends and other random stuff that i haven't taken the time to listen to christmas tunes, write up and mail out those christmas cards, or really think about gifts even. and i certainly haven't cruised to any decked-out malls or shopping centers, so i've also been lacking in the overwhelming red, green, and gold colors that accompany the month of december.
it's also the end of the year... so now that most of work has paused for a bit, i'm starting to breathe and think again. about i-don't-even-know-what. 2006 swooshed by fast. last weekend, i spent a freaking awesome time with the dcorc cult at red rocks in vegas. we climbed and talked and gossiped and climbed some more and ate till it hurt and traded a bajillion wonderfully bad jokes and hilarious insults and climbed a little more and ripped off lots of skin and never bothered to sleep. it was great. warning: sappy sentence coming up. i miss them. even the new people are lovely, which is pretty much what i expected. good thing the expectations met up, haha. and for some reason, that whole weekend of nuttiness made me reflect on the year past. it's been a strange one -- albeit a good one... a great one at that.
i dunno about 2007 -- it seems that it'll be solid. but that's probably the flakiest prediction ever. i don't think i've ever really made new year resolutions, and i don't really think that i'll start this upcoming year either. i've discovered that i kinda like going with the flow. i do make plans, but for the most part, i take things as they come and figure it out then. like plankton: plankton are drifters; they go with the flow (of the current). that's the key aspect of the little dudes that hang out at the bottom of the food chain -- they go with the flow. it's a fact -- that even the smartass punk 6th grade boy who whipped out his cell phone in the middle of the program today should remember. go with the flow...?
every once in a while, i get caught up with nature and the glory of good weather and tall trees and large expanses of water and little hilarious fishies and red sandstone and prickly cacti. but then i blink twice and come to realize that, despite it all, i couldn't survive without people. even the stupidhead hormonal middle-schoolers. so much for my backup plan of becoming a hermit in new zealand. ha. happy holidays, eh?
