it's pouring rain here and it seems to suit my mood greatly. who knows where this is going.. and if this doesn't make any sense i'm sorry.

this is my last day of being a teenager. this is the last day i can caulk it up to the fact that i was in my teens.. stupid, irresponsible, and well crazy as a teenager. i feel like i should go ride my bike naked or find something CRAZY to do. but I wont. It isn't who I am. I'm going to goto work, come home and clean... and hang out with my girlfriend. Because those things are what keep me san. maybe i'll get drunk on wine or something.. toast away the teenage years.

funny thing is i haven't thought of myself as a teenager for atleast 4 years. i haven't thought as a teenager since my freshman year of high school. yes maybe i have my moments of flighty-ness.. but so does 45 year olds.

i want to make this next year one of those years when you look back, you say... that was one of the best years of my life. from here on i want that to be every year.

i want to ride everyday, and find great new routes that make me happy. i want to commute by bike everyday its not freezing rain, or crazy lightning. I want to find those fun short cuts that make your daily commute worth it. I want to find underground artist that I will heart, even when they become mainstream. I plan on making a list.. a list of things I want my next year of life to be filled with. It will include bikes, love, friends and plenty of good pictures.

Look forward to the birthday post (it's TOMORROW!)
