Today Emily and I were watching a show on the Discovery Health channel about obesity and there was a guy on a show that used to weigh 1000 lbs. He now weighs somewhere around 500 but I never even fathomed the possibility of the body being able to hold all of that weight, let alone someone letting themselves get that big.  The fact that the body’s' organs can function and work so hard to keep that man living was amazing to me. I now find the body to be very intriguing and I have a new found respect for it as well.

Quite a few things have happened recently. For once, more good things than bad. Christmas was wonderful. I hate that word but that's the only word I can come up with when I think back to just a few days ago. My sister and her husband were here, I had a decent sort of awkward conversation with my grandparents, there was no arguing, and Becca & I seem to be getting along better.
I was trying to stay away from the materialistic side of things but I can't help but to tell you what my best gift was; a phone from the 'rents. Yeah, I may be two years behind everyone my age when it comes to cell phones but I don't care. I'm just happy to have one now. Instead of being online for hours on end, the past few days I've been spending more time with actual people. I'm finding little reason to get online at all really. It's so convenient to have a phone.

Another good thing is that I've gotten really close to my friends again. For a while, there was this sense of distance between myself and everyone else but not anymore. My friends are excited to see me, I'm always with or talking to someone and the excitement that my friends have for me is mutual. With 2008 coming to an end, I'm looking forward to a new year. I don't have any resolutions yet but I don't need them. I never go through with them anyway. I don't feel the need to change anything about myself right now. I like the way I am- personality wise I mean. I like the way everything is in my life. For once I feel completely positive about the coming year and I'm content with everything as it is.

2008 was really something but I'm looking forward to putting a lot of things behind me now. I'm looking forward to meeting new people, doing better in everything, slowing down and taking a good look at the world, reconnecting with God and becoming a better person all together.

Well guys, wish me luck. I'll need it. :3
