This Year Will Be Golden.

Saturday, December 31st

Big Funny Kid and FG threw a New Year's Eve party that put Dick Clark to shame.

I stayed up way too late. I made new friends (shoutout to Quiet Guy and I Like This Kid). I stomped down the stairs, Nerf gun in hand, in search of a two-headed demon baby.

There was music. It was beautiful.

I am so thankful for music and the people that make it. Yesterday I was thankful in excess, because my New Year's Eve was so amazingly musical and full of life. I spent the night in awe of my very talented friends, old and new, and I was so happy that they let me sing with them.

These musical friends inspired my New Year's resolution. I am going to make this year a musical one. I will play my ukelele, I will sing my heart out, I will bang on my piano. Music makes me happy, and I want to spend the next 365 days feeling infinitely better than I have been feeling recently. So why not make an effort to?

I can't think of any better way to greet 2012 than with Rock Band, a jam session, and a Nerf Gun war.
