I wish I had the ability to show some people how grateful I am for them. It's the way that good friends always come through for each other, and you might not realize it at that immediate moment but hours or months later you realize you've taken away a lesson. I wish for the health and happiness of my friends and that I was able to contribute an ounce of myself to their lives in a positive sense. Friendship through these years are really difficult sometimes. And if you deny it you're wrong, you know it. I just think that you can try out all of the sides of yourself that you want in your late teen years into your early twenties. Some people change, be it for better or for worse, temporarily, momentarily or permanently. I guess you just have to trust that the core of a person never changes and if they're important to you, than in one way or another that that good will always find a way to shine through.

There's other things I'd like for Christmas such as an uncut version of Garden State. And yes I know, that's twice in two days I've mentioned that movie but I've watched it twice this week and today was the first time I watched the deleted scenes. One scene I wish had made the movie is where Andrew and his father are talking in the room where Andrew's mother drowned. It's all dialogue but the acting is amazing, so much so I stopped moving and was just hanging on the next line. If you have the movie on DVD, watch it with the commentary on and then off. Does anyone have any movie suggestions? Among other things one thing I want to do in 2007 is see history's great movies. Something I never really had a huge interest in and any girl I've ever dated can attest that it took a lot to get me to go see a movie.

I'm a little under the weather and really don't feel like working tonight. The more I do my job the more I see the nonrelevance of it to anything I want to do outside of the money aspect.

Yesterday a board in Brooklyn approved the Atlantic Yards development of a new Nets' arena. Complete with an arena, office towers and apartments by 2009. Apartments, eh? It'll be the first professional sports team in Brooklyn since the Dodgers left in 1957. I guess I'm stoked about it. If you go to Continental Airlines one night and go to The Garden the next the difference is immeasurable. I'm excited about the idea of possibly having a home in Brooklyn at some point in my life. I guess I just salivate at the thought of living somewhere so alive. As for today, working in the rain, brilliant...
