new year

i try to come up with a theme for each new year. last year was the "year of fun." boy oh boy, did i have fun....

2008 ended with a BANG, first with a small, tamer party at a friend's place and then at a feather-boa-dry-smoke-tattooed-DJs-prom-for-adults bash at the JW marriott. whoa.

good beats, good drinks, good friends...it was a great way to usher in the new year.


but now that the noise has died down, the confetti lies strewn on the floor, and i am picking the silly string out of my hair, i think i'm ready for a quieter, more contemplative year.

so i deem this year the "year of patience."

i look forward to a year of learning to bite my tongue, waiting prayerfully, enjoying the moment, and stepping back intentionally from the whirl and buzz of the fast-paced urban life.

here's to 2009!
