platitudes and post script

Well, it's officially the end of my christmas vacation, and I tell you what, it was too short. But it's back to school, which is as you may know, awesome.

Just for those of you who were wondering if I was in fact dying, I'm afraid I must dissapoint. The doctor could in fact find nothing wrong with me.. blood test came up clear... I even had good blood pressure... wierd... so now I will just worry about diseases that just appear out of nowhere.... oh paranoia, how wonderful.

And now it is 2007, a new year... filled with oh so many possibilities. I myself am not often making New Years resolutions, but I think this year I may take a stab at it. I decided that for one, I would need to take up a west coast hobby. Which of course means physical activity. theres skiing, hiking, power walking with your tiny dog that someone could crush with one hand.... you know, those sorts of things. All of those options are quite tempting, but I finally settled on running. It's cheap, you can do it whenever you have spare time, and most importantly it will get me into great physical shape... which can never be a bad thing. I'm betting most of you are now thinking.... and I can pretty much quote your cognative process...." Sure, he may run once or twice, and it is an honourable goal, but he'll skip it a couple times, or get too busy and it will be like every other resolution in the history of time, just a good intention...."... but hey, it's worth a shot isn't it? Also this Christmas I recieved a cookbook, and now that I live in Vancouver, a place where all sorts of wonderful ingerdients can be found in a varying array of shops, it grants me a unique opportunity to cook many fancy, crazy dishes.... so thats the other resolution right there. So exercise and eating right... oh such high and lofty goals... but hey, you don't get anywhere if you don't try and go somewhere... I love platitudes.

So Happy New Year to you all... I hope it brings you both Joy and Pain, Contentment and Longing, Substance and Cotton Candy Fluff..... For this is the stuff of life...

Another comment.. it has come to my attention that I have many more readers than I previously was aware of. Which is wonderful, but I must admit, it makes the writing of this somewhat more of an intimidating task. It also makes me think more carefully of what I write down now.... oh and comment number two... something else that has been a common is people asking me about film school... and the crazy, awesomely cool life that I have the pleasure of living. So I've decided to answer these questions in a column on my blog.... whoa, this whole segment is becoming quite self absorbed. I think I may be slightly narcissistic, probably on account of me being so unbelieveably cool . So yeah, I will be open to any question anyone has about anything... I suppose not even limited to film school.... and I guess if no one does have any questions.... I'll just keep the blog the way it is..... but just so you know, feel free to pick my brain, even just for the fun of it...

Okay... I'm just going to cut this entry off right here... party..hmmmm.....partly..... because I'm tired and I have school in the morning.... well, thats kind of the reason.

and now the P.S
Keep on the look out for my next entry as it will be quite interesting..... quite indeed.... I'm keeping it vauge so that it build excitment........ the anticipation is almost palpable...

I miss you Andy. It sounds like you're doing well. I'm impressed that you're running but I think you should reconsider the power walking idea...

You party cause you're tired? You are hardcore! Also remember that narcissism is the charm of the wealthy, so you might as well keep it up, hopefully you'll be rich soon enough, oh and never apologize thats a good one too.
