Happy new year, everyone (soon to be the year of the pig in Chinese astrology, a.k.a. my year). As part of my new years resolution, I wanted to start a blog to reflect my views and contemplations over a multitude of different topics. To spare the general public from the petty stories presented by Xanga, I'll try my best not to bore everyone with mindless details of what I might be doing on any given day, but rather, give insightful thought and intuitive input to the events that occur around me. For this particular entry, though, it will not be the case because I'm laying out the groundwork for 2007.

Anyway, my original intent of this blog was to track my new years resolutions for 2007. 2006 was a relatively stagnant year that included among other things, my breakup of a nearly 3 year long relationship, endless weekends of bar hopping and people meeting, trips to Miami and Chicago, law school applications (including the dreaded LSAT preparation time), and quite frankly, A LOT of time for self reflection (most probably having to do with my thought process in drafting NUMEROUS law school application essay topics).

There already appears to be much promise for 2007. Of course, I would need to get the ball rolling for all of these events to actually materialize. So far, the agenda includes: Randy Ray's wedding in Houston in February, possibly a road trip from LA to Seattle with Ching and Co. in March, my daring escape to Asia in April, (if granted) a corporate law internship in NYC (cross my fingers!) for the summer (and if not, more travel!), Mike's bachelor party in August, Law school commencement in late August, and Mike and Fi's wedding in September.

Therefore, I can only hope to capitalize on these promising events laid out for the upcoming year. This blog will hopefully keep track of these events, and record my thoughts and feelings along the way. Here is to an exciting and fun-filled 2007, and to new beginnings...
