Bringing in the new year

Seems strange that while everyone is celebrating the new year and making resolutions, I am here treating it like any other day. Aside from my capslocky announcement last night that's all the celebration I did. That and hearing the loud firecrackers outside. But yes, it is officially 2009 and there's much to look forward to, at least for me. I will be graduating in the spring and starting my externship while will be a stepping stone for my future. That there is all the anticipation for the year I need. Everything else that follows is a blessing. I believe resolutions are lifetime goals, not just new year goals, since everyone's goals and dedications change overtime, and having a good year is what you make of it.

I saw Misha Collins in an episode of CSI recently, where he's playing kind of a bad boy and speaking in a Russian accent. I'm not ashamed to admit I squeed.

Oh, there's the Seven Deadly Sins Week on the History Channel which I've been watching, along with their History of Sex programs, and next week is Armageddon Week. Along with that, TSCC, BSG and SPN, there seems to be a theme here which coincides with the 2012 prophecies. That or I'm just really interested in dystopian, biblical and apocalyptic kinds of material.

Remember the Filipino!Twilight I mentioned before? Apparently it's not true, it was all a hoax. Dammit. I would've loved a televised version of the sparkling vampires, simply to see if they improve the storytelling by making it more entertaining and less headdesking and watching that fandom go berserck. But the latter remains, unfortunately, as the racial slurs and bigotry of the rapid Twilighters continues. It's amazing to see their true colors come out, eh? *shakes head*

Oh... my gosh. I'm totally watching the Seven Deadly Sins with my parents this week, lol! Tonight is Greed~~

omg, goat testicles curing sloth, fthewhat?

I thought you might not do resolutions~~ and I used to be that way, too... but this year, I was just in the mood, lol! And I always want to shed a few pounds, lol! New Years is just an excuse!!! *flails*

LOL! I wanted to see the Filipino version, if only to laugh and only look at screencaps, lol! I can't believe people are showing racism about it... bleah.

Hee! Have you seen the History of Sex specials? Also very intriguing stuff. Though I'm really looking forward to next week, which is all about the various predictions for the coming Apocalypse. Very upbeat these programs, aren't they? ;p

Good for you for making resolutions. I don't mind if others do, I just have a different mindset in believing that while you make a goal now, it may change further into the year.

I know, right? The racism makes me enraged. It's like really, we've settled back into that kind of attitude now? I know many are like "I'm not racist, but..." which is the classic defense for anyone making a racist statement but doesn't want to be judged or labeled a racist. I'm sure most aren't, but how they're wording their claims and such it's the impression they're giving off. Besides, an Asian version of Twilight would be epic and awesome. Why are they so quick to refuse something like that? Srsly. I don't get it.

I watched one... the one about stuffing codpieces with sawdust to look erect >.>

I'm not a big future-apocalypse girl, myself... but sins and lust~ yes please! lol ^.^

I know ;.; I feel that these are ones that I will actually be able to (reasonably) keep, though... and are just good for me, lol. But, doesn't everybody resolve to lose weight on Jan 1st? lol!

>.> You know how many racist comments I hear, just in my family >.> Some people I can understand where their racism comes from, like my grandparents who were under Jim Crow and whose parents told them that non-whites were below them and who grew up like that... but now? Where do these ideas come from in such a time as this??

LOL. I think I remember that one.

Heh, almost everyone does have "lose weight" on their resolutions list, but most of the time not everyone keeps that goal completely. What I learned in health class long ago was that post-New Years health clubs and gyms are packed with people wanting to lose weight, but weeks and months pass those people stop attending or whatever. It's because most can't keep up with that committment.

But I'm cheering you on with your goals, girl! :D

but now? Where do these ideas come from in such a time as this??

I honestly don't know. Racism is everywhere though, in all forms, and in certain parts of the world racism and discrimination will continue to be in their lifestyle, unfortunately. But here, in the States, we shouldn't be having that problem especially for the younger generation. Granted I know most of those people are just saying things just to state their stance as I mentioned, but it doesn't give them the right to be so cruel in their words or implications.
