2005 is coming to a close. This year, like many others has its share of stories to be told. My year actually has some stories of its own. As everything unfolded, I learned more about myself this year and like I’ve stated before my outlook on my life has changed for the better. I sort of know what I want now, the issue is just going after it. I still don’t know the direction I’m heading in though, but for now I’ll just wander.

There’s a single thought in my mind that’s been looming over for the past week and continues now, although it doesn’t really trouble me much. It’s my regret that I wasn’t able to confront it as the year draws to a close. I’ll find my resolve soon.

For those who have commented about the emptiness of my facial expressions and tones, I ensure you that I’ve made some progress this year. Believe it or not, I am smiling on the inside, still working on the outside. I just haven’t stared at my reflection long enough to notice. Yeah, I’m not afraid of making fun of myself.

I have my New Years resolution set in my mind, something that I’ll make every attempt to hold true in my heart and mind. I’m heading with a group of friends to see the ball drop in Times Square, NY to celebrate the New Year.

Here’s to 2006, let’s make it more interesting!

I guess I’ll never know…

Good luck to everyone with their finals.

So far the movies I have on the queue are:

- Batman Begins
- Sin City
- X-Men: X-2

I also have queued up Firefly the series. This will also be a great opportunity to catch up on the 80s cartoon shows that I use to miss, because my parents wouldn’t let me wake up extremely early to watch cartoons like: Transformers and Thundercats. Any other suggestions for movies or series? I only watched part of season’s one Lost and most of season two. I’m not sure if I want to watch every single episode.

I guess I also have Soul Caliber 3 for the PS2 to play during break, even though its been sitting on my desk now for a week as I don’t have a PS2 here on campus.

I shouldn’t even start thinking about my plans for break yet, the semester isn’t over yet. I have like 3 projects due around next Monday. I also ordered the accelorometer chip for my senior design project for my team, I actually can’t wait to get it and the team starts to work on it. I’m tired at researching all this stuff and want to start on the implementation.

Caffeine

I’m going to need a lot of this in the upcoming week. Too bad the effects of caffeine consumption aren’t instant, takes awhile to sink in.

On a side note, Mozilla released Firefox 1.5 a few days ago. Download it now. I’ve also switched from using Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird as my default e-mail client of choice.
