New Year, New Start

That's been my motto so far in this week old year. I've been thinking about my life a lot lately and really want to get things back on track. I plan on taking this semester off school and working full time and moving out of the house soon. I do realize that moving out is probably the worst idea for saving money but I do think that it will be the best thing for me since I really need to grow up and mature a lot. I've been running through the numbers and do think that I will be able to save a decent amount of money as well but as long as I get by I don't really care. My goal is to move out in about 5 weeks and it appears pretty attainable. I should have enough money by then and my family seems very supportive but I have still yet to talk to my dad about it. I'm sure he will eventually be ok with it but it still won't be a fun conversation to have. I tried to bring it up and he wasn't having it and wanted to talk later but he hasn't brought it up yet?

I've also decided I'm going to get back into shape this year. I have been playing a lot of basketball lately and my stamina is already so much better than it was like 3 weeks ago. I also lost over 10 lbs so I'm very happy about that! On days I don't go play basketball, I decided I'm going to try to run. Now I hate running with a passion but I'm tired of being chunky!

Things I have been liking lately:

• New Scrubs! There were 2 new episodes of Scrubs last night! I felt that the first one was too much like last season's episodes and that really worried me about how the rest were going to turn out but the second one was golden. It reminded me so much of older ones where I would laugh out loud and still get caught up in the dramatic moments. ABC wants to save money though so some episodes cut out some regulars so there were a few characters that didn't even make an appearance. That makes me really sad since this is the last true season of Scrubs and I feel like they should get to go out with a bang!
• Thieves and Villains: One of the most underrated bands out there and I think they have a ton of potential. I loved their early demos they posted on myspace but I felt their debut was a little lacking. There are still some killer tracks on it and I think "Worlds Apart" is a beautiful song which I can totally relate to.
• The Wackness: I downloaded this movie about 3 months ago and loved it back then but have been playing it a lot lately. It's set in 1994 in New York City so you get all the cool slang from back then and I just think it was really well made. Seeing Sir Ben Kingsley take a huge bong rip as a stoner shrink is also pretty entertaining as well!

Well this has been horribly long but it's been a while and I have had a lot of stuff on my mind! I'll talk to you later Diary.

Love,
Ryan
