Well, as you all know, the date is looming near. The time where we all promise ourselves that we will be better people. Yeah, that's right, New Year's. At the end of this week we all say goodbye to each other at school and say "See you next year." Does New Year's resolution ring a bell inside any of your heads? It does for me. Although it seems to be ringing somewhere in the distance, farther away each year. I don't really see the coming of the new year as much of a rite of passage anymore. It's just another holiday, it comes and goes before you can really get a good grip on it. Maybe this year we can all stop for a second in our busy lives and realize what New Year's is going to do for us. Let's all see if we can become better people in 2007. I know I'll try. If you don't see a change in anyone, don't think any less of them. Maybe their New Year's just hasn't come yet, I know mine usually comes pretty late, maybe around March when the weather hasn't gotten much better and all you really have to do is sit around and think about things. We'll see what happens this year. So, seeing as this is probably the last post on my blog for the year, I'll officially say goodbye to 2006 and look forward to 2007. Maybe there really will be changes this coming year, maybe there won't.
We'll just have to sit tight and see what happens.

I had the wonderful opportunity of attending Garrison Keillor's live performance last Saturday in Buffalo. It was an experience I have waited for my entire life. I began listening to "A Prairie Home Companion" with my family whenever we went on long car trips and this happy memory of passing the time listening to radio and watching the scenery fly past my window became the basis of what is now a deep admiration for the PHC crew. Being in the audience of "A Prairie Home Companion" is something i will never forget. Seeing my idol in person was the greatest thing that has happened to me and hearing about our little Buffalo and all its suburbs from Garrison Keillor struck a chord deep within my heart. Knowing that people around the world were tuning in to what I was seeing and hearing first hand was a feeling so powerful that I can't describe it enough to give it due justice. I hope all fans of Garrison Keillor will get the chance to experience such a wonderful event sometime in their lives. I know it greatly changed me in some way, watching as a long dream finally came true.
