it's that time again. when you walk into a shop, you'll hear a cheery 'happy new year'. i had real fun welcoming in the new year. hanging out with a couple of good friends at a korean karaoke bar was the last place i would've picked myself yelling 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1! still, reliving the hangovers of a year's gone by with two awesome people was, well, hilarious.
'i feel like i've been eating sand for an hour. got kicked in the head by a camel, and gave 10 blowjobs.' - weldon
later in the day, walden is sitting in the back seat of the car when he goes, 'guys, i'm sorry. i'm sooo sorry.'
'why?' we ask. then we know why. 'WELDON!'
'i'm SORRY! i couldn't stop myself, i tried holding it in.'
we wind down the windows (even though it's -30C outside), and cover our noses and mouths. you could taste the air. it was THAT bad.
'it's like a mix of tequila and beer.'

31st Dec, 2007: "People around the world will be about to celebrate the new year - not here in Gaza. This is usually a time when people make new plans and have high hopes for the coming year. At the moment the people in Gaza are just hoping they will be alive tomorrow."help those who need help.
love those who need loving.
smile for those who need to see it's possible.
and give because you can.
pray to whomever you believe in, because God knows the world needs it now.
more than ever.
