The year I had no expectations of... 2011

I always had in mind that 2010 was going to be an awesome year... and it was!!! For the most part 'cause I moved out of my parents', I started my most ambitious personal project to date (alongside my brother, though it will be a better year the one where I finish it, haha), and I kind of "reconnected" with the family... I never really stopped talking to them or anything, but last year I kind of got closer to lots of cousins, that's good :).

Now, why didn't I have expectations of 2011??? Well, I failed to see the point. It IS a new year... but that's it, it's not like with the coming of a new year, something amazing happens, it's all in the mind, so I really didn't pay much attention to it, life just goes on...

Now, it's January 10th... and I gotta say, it has been the best start of year I have had... no kidding. But my way of thinking stays the same... it's not cause it's a new year and a fresh start, it's not because I made a resolution of being positive, or anything like that... it's more like, it's been an awesome 10 days, hahaha. Had these days been in July or August, I would've only said: "I've been having a good time lately", but it coincided with the start of the year, so it literally is the best year start :D.

There's a couple of things that have made this a cool 10 days:

-I started hanging out more with Mari, and thus, I started talking with her friend (who is now also my friend) Angie, and when I hang out with them, I have pretty good time :).
-I got my driver's license back after... 2 and a half years!!! Fuck!!! I didn't even realize it was so long until I went to get it, and saw that the ticket was made in July 2008, hahaha.
-Shade (my car) broke down... ok, that's pretty lame, but as a consequence, I remembered what an awesome family I have... My aunt Martha, My uncle Gustavo and Mari (also Angie), all helped me through that mini chaos, driving me to places, waiting by the car with me, and pretty much being ultra supportive... My mom started calling people and arranged so that I don't have a hard time going from place to place while I don't have a car... My dad gave me assistance on what to do with the car while it was still in El Paso, and he's pretty much going to make all the necessary things so that my car gets fixed... My uncle Chino went pick me up at the bridge with no previous notice... Fani is going to lend me her car so I can move while mine gets fixed... Again my uncle Gustavo is going to help me get a tow dolly so I can get my car back to Juárez... so yeah, I feel pretty good even though Shade is useless right now.

So, I hope I keep having a hell of a time. I won't say something like: "I hope the rest of the year is this awesome", cause that's not the way I want to see it, I just want to keep having a good time, be it a day, a week, 6 months, 5 years, whatever, the end of the year is not the limit...
