Saigon kick in the face
Well, a lot of people won't agree, but I really don't care. Everyone has their tastes. This band has always been one of my favorites ever since my parents would blast it on the stereo system at home in the uber early 90's. I love this band and I think that "Love is on the Way" somehow pigeonholed them into a "ballad" band when in fact they are the complete opposite. I guess this is an insight into my true taste in music. Harmonies and rock and roll. Another band like this? Alice in motherfucking Chains. Both these bands hold true to my heart forever.

2007 in a nutshell
TOP MOMENTS
*Driving to Dallas to see MUSE. The show is up to par with my experience of the David Bowie concert.
*Seeing Joanna Newsom with the Austin Symphony Orchestra. It was just incredible. That girl is stunning. Musically and Physically.
*I finally applied for JET (The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program) that I've been talking about on and on for the last two years.
*I came out of my slump and focused on getting out of school. By doing this, I got 31 hours out of the way in just 2007 and I'm gonna finally graduate this may.
*I became immensely closer with some of my Japanese classmates. I hope these to be lifelong, but if not, they forever will hold a place in my heart.
*I have mostly lost the emotionally damaging and draining people in my life and have some more uplifting folk to be around.
*I got off that damned prescription to Ambien and do my best not to ever take it again.
*I bought my own laptop!
NOT SO TOP MOMENTS
*Going through that horrid slump and losing so much weight that people physically could tell something wasn't so right.
*Repercussions of ambien are not fun. Let's just put it at that.
-on a side not to this, I think ambien might have effected my short term and possible a little bit of my long term memory. I find myself having a more difficult time remembering things, especially for exams, etc...I find myself speaking and forgetting what I was saying in the middle of my sentences. Abusing ambien is no bueno.
*School kicked my ass. I was sleeping, eating, and doing schoolwork. I missed out on a lot of events due to tests, papers, etc...
*Applying for JET is nerve wracking and the wait is bothering me a bit. I just want to know if I at least scored an interview. Thinking about leaving my loved ones, including Kaya, is bothering me a lot.
*I'm still paying on that laptop.
I'm pretty sure there is a number of things I'm missing in this short list. I will add as I think them up, but so far this seems to be a good start. It's been one hell of a year and I hope 2008 will bring me a good year through and through. It's been a while since I've had one of those, and it'd be nice to have one again. I've learned a hell of a lot of life lessons the last 2 years. I want to learn some good life lessons this year.
New Year's Resolution?
Make my family proud. This has so many meanings at once, but it's the best way I can put it.
I really do hope 2008 will be a good year for me. Please?!?
