Thanks to those of you who have been reading this blog, it means a lot to get comments about it
Hope you all have a Happy New Year

And so ends the first decade of this century, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on my life through these years
- Good times with my great friends, the ones I've had forever and the ones I've only known for a short time, it's the moments with them that mean the most to me out of anything in life
-High School AKA the Four Year Boner lol
-College, Half the time being in my "social coma" and the other half being crazy about girls pretty much, but my grades never got too bad.
-Great Work Experiences for the Orem Owlz
-Music, Movies, TV, Sports, the usual awesome stuff I keep tabs with

Here's a toast (of Martinelli's) to another Decade of being alive
