Why things will be great in 2008!
 

What are you looking forward to in the New Year?

What plans do you have? What things are going on in your life that look like they'll be improving in the coming year? What are your hopes for the year to come:confused:

For me... I am very encouraged by the plans to freeze interest rates on certain adjustable mortgages, because our mortgage seems to fall in the group that qualify for the freeze. This will totally save our butts. :D

Not only that, but it'll help stabilize pricing in the market in general. May take a couple months, but it should stop the bleeding. Once prices stop dropping, there are a lot of fence-sitters who will finally jump back into the market and buy. That means I'll make some deals and we'll be doing better financially, which will also totally save our butts and make life a little more pleasant. :cool:

As far as hopes... I hope someone buys early, so I can afford to go on the Panama Canal cruise, because I'm really looking forward to that trip! I've never been on a cruise, nor have I ever been south of the US border (with the exception of Hawaii, which is also US-owned land), so I'm looking forward to seeing Mexico for the first time AND going through the Panama Canal (which was my main motivation for going on the cruise). :cheers:

I also expect to have a darn good time with my new third job on the "railroad". Not only will it bring in a little extra money, but it will also be fun. And the discounts don't suck either :snap:

what is behind me will now be further behind
whats lies ahead will be now closer than before
my direction will be forward instead of facing into the past and walking blindly backward

my now will be mine alone
no more excuses
no more blame
no more baggage


or die trying

lets rock

I don't know if I would say that Hawaii is "US-Owned" since it is one of them pesky 50 United States.

Boobies!

Yikes, I'm just not ready for this kind of year end coming of the new year thinking despite the rapid passing of time - but I'll journal about this and get back to you later ;)

I'm looking forward to moving out of the Valley, into Hollywood, and getting a cute doggy whom I will name Betty Suarez-Levy.

And yes, I do want to take the Cheese Man with me, he's the best roommate I've ever had (you know -- clean, easy to talk to, not a meth dealer...).

Will that happen this year? I hope so, really. But if it doesn't, I'm enjoying the status quo.

My bank will finally stop bothering me about post-dating all my cheques 2008.

2008. I'm ready and not for you.

As I say goodbye to the amazing year that was 2007 I look forward to new memories, new friends and more amazing funness.

You'll start out with something I wasn't sure would ever come. A Garth Brooks concert. x 2. You're also bringing some joy to two people who suffered through more crap in 2007 than any 2 people should.

You'll see many trips taken, many classes completed and maybe even graduation and if things play out, a purchase of property.

May your disappointments and challenges be few and far between. May you be good to my friends and loved ones. May you bring peace to old wounds and to those who seek it.

2008, I'm not ready for you yet. But I'm looking forward to your arrival when it is time.

2008 will be great, cuz I'm still not wearing any pants.

When did you turn into NirvanaMan?
