I May Hate Myself In The Morning...

OH
MY
GAWD.

Ok, so he heard it first. But boy oh boy. Is this song US.
"It came years late, but there it is...".

It is SCARY how whomever wrote this song (I doubt it was Lee Ann Womack, who sings it, but you never know) just NAILED IT. To the letter. This would probably be our life if both of us lived in the same town.

And here it is....

I MAY HATE MYSELF IN THE MORNING
Ain't it just like one of us to pick up the phone and call after a couple of drinks,
And say: "How you been? I been wonderin' that maybe you've been thinkin' 'bout me."
And somewhere in the conversation, an old familiar invitation always arrives,
An' I may hate myself in the morning, but I'm gonna love you tonight.

Everyone's known someone that they just can't help but want;
And even though we just can't make it work out, well the want-to lingers on.
So once again we wind up in each other's arms, pretending that it's right,
An' I may hate myself in the morning, but I'm gonna love you tonight.

I know it's wrong, but it ain't easy moving on.
So why can't two friends remember the good times once again?

Tomorrow when I wake up, I'll be feeling a little guilty, an' a little sad,
Thinkin' how it used to be before everything went bad.
An' I guess that's what it is, in lonely late night calls like this, that we try to find;
An' I may hate myself in the morning, but I'm gonna love you tonight.
I may hate myself in the morning, but I'm gonna love you tonight.

Wow.

Happy New Year!!!

*Auld Lang Sein*

Welcome, 2005!! With 2004 behind us (I loved you, 'o4!!), it is now time to look forward to all the great things we hope this year can bring us. I'll recount what was great about '04 (in no particular order, since all were equally great):

• My brother got married to a great girl.
• I moved back to Puerto Rico.
• I got a job (and still have it).
• Borders opened a bookstore at the Mall :) :) :)
• Puerto Rico beat the US Basketball team in the Olympics (92-73).
• My best friend Dan got married, and I got to go to Texas and see all my best friends.
• My aunt Sa got married (thus fulfilling one of the prophecies that announce the coming of the Apocalypse. The next one is me getting married).
• The football Aggies had a winning record (8-4 in the regular season).
• The baseball Aggies got to the Super Regionals.
• THE RED SOX HAD THE BEST COMEBACK BETTER TO BEAT THE YANKEES, AND THEN WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!! (Another sign of the coming apocalypse).
• I got to meet Ro (again) and see H.

I also got to teach in Relief Society, and be an active part of my church.

What was funny, and the reason why I'm writing this, is a thought that came into my head during the New Year celebration. It basically said that I would be married by New Year's next year. How fun!! I hope that's true, it's the first time I've thought that... I think... I remember a thought that entered my head last year, but I don't remember what it was... It wasn't that though.

I did have the insane idea of calling someone up and saying 'ok, i give up, let's get married. And I'm serious!'... but then I though-- that's crazy. I don't think he'd ever agree. And I'd probably back out at the last second. Too bad, huh. Asking wouldn't have guaranteed me a yes, either, anyway.

Happy New Year!!! Have a prosperous 2005! GO BIG 12 and OKLAHOMA!!!
