A Year of Change

so 2008 has been a year of change for me, as most of you know i have had these purple sunglasses on my head since well actually since i shaved my head. and you all know how long ago that was (and if you don't i shaved my head in 2000 8 years ago) these guys have been with me daily, my eyes hurt SOOOO bad if im not wearing them. well i decided to change a few things this year and the sunglasses are one of them. yes i still wear them once in a while but no longer daily. in fact the only times i have worn them in the last two months is when im biking, and to be honest i barely have biked since i have been in boulder utah. so this is my first change for the year...

...my second change is my nasty YES NASTY visor. i love this thing. it too has been with me for a long time, i got it in high school and a few years ago, it became a part of me as well. in fact you can see the sweat and grease, and grim that is on it. i sure miss him, but don't worry he's still around, and will still accompany me on backpacking trips, just no longer a daily wear. ....

the next change,,, NO not my nipple sweater, i still wear it all the time, even to school, it has holes all over it now. in fact it's not even warm anymore but i love it still, NO it's not the blue beaded necklace i have worn since 1998 with the rings on it... IT'S...

that's right i have for the first time in my life registered to VOTE!!! aren't you proud mom and dad? i finally decided it was time for me, i came to it on my own terms that i was ready. not a year sooner. i have no idea who im gonna vote for yet, in fact i still don't get involved with all that stuff, but i have a desire to make my statement through my vote!!!

yep there is the application, and just so you all know, it has been filled out and sent away.

there is one more thing that i have been working on really hard and that is SAYING NO!!! when i want to say no, and not letting people push me around. i have been standing my ground this year much more than any other year of my life and it feels good. it's even the little things, i feel much happier now then ever. i live for who i am and what i stand for.

miss you all thanks for reading up on my life.
