Out of town for the weekend. This’ll be my first trip to the U.S. in two years, since I couldn’t make it last year due to personal obligations. I just hope this trip turns out as smoothly as the trips to Niagara Falls and Ottawa. We’ll see.

Later…

Well, it’s Christmas… or at least, it should be by the time I publish this page… assuming that I hadn’t forgotten to do so.

I’m writing this before the clock strikes midnight, which is usually when the family starts opening up all their gifts. I keep my expectations to a minimum. As I get older, I realize that we’re past the point of getting fancy gifts we might actually and instead settle for more clothes and possible knick-knacks. The only person whom I’d expect to get the fun gifts from is my older brother… that’s fine by me, though.

Honestly, no matter what gifts pan out, I just want to make it through this Christmas in one piece and in a good mood. Let’s hope nothing bad happens. Would be nice. For once.

Too dramatic? Maybe… but I don’t know… I always get a funny feeling.

Later.

Well, it’s my birthday today… nineteen years on this ball of soil called Earth.

I wish I could say that things were looking up from my point of view… but all I could really say is that things are going smoothly enough. So that’s guaranteed to not come true. There is something of a birthday wish that I would like to share… and I have no qualms about sharing it because it’s an outlandish wish that will never come true.

I wish that I had a more positive outlook on life.

I wish that I wasn’t as naïve about the real world as I turned out to be.

I wish that I was in a better place… or at least, a better frame of mind.

That’s my wish… and now that I’ve shared it, no chance of it happening any time soon…

Unless…
