Happy New Year Homebloys!

Some years fizzle out like the end of a sparkler, sudden and without climax. You look at them and think, "That's it?" Years later you might struggle to remember what happened during them. How does one forget 365 days? But it happens. 2008 will not be one of those years for me. It's not even gone yet and already it feels like taboo, the 13th floor to my elevator. Despite the wonderful things that happened this year, and because of the horrible ones, I say good-bye without a bit of remorse and more than just a little relief.

Thanks to everyone who stuck with me for another year. When I started this blog three years ago (December 8th, 2005), I had no idea how many amazing, talented and funny people I would meet. I had no idea that I'd still be blogging three years later either! A lot of you are more than just fellow bloggers now. I've met some of you in person. I've talked to some of you on the phone. We've shared heartbreaks and triumphs. I've watched your lives progress from the sidelines, a cheerleader until the end. For you, my friends, I wish a happy and safe New Year.

See you on the flipside. ;)
