everybody hates another year gone by...

why am i doing this?  answer the question: what do you get when you cross and elephant with a rhino?  i digress...  i think the only reason i'm doing this is out of a somewhat shaky tradition that i started a few years ago.  what is that tradition?  well...that's a hard question to answer.  it's somewhat along the lines of doing a new year's post, which entails re-devoting myself back to blawging, but always falls apart like most resolutions, which explains why i don't really do the resolution thing anymore.

this won't take too long.  i just wanted to get some things off my mind to start semi-fresh in the '014 (yes, the "o" is pronounced)...

i looked back at my blawg post three hundred sixty-five days ago and couldn't help but notice that 2012 "sucked butt."  those were my words; i can't dispute that.  a year later, i was (of course) right.  i always am.  so i can then write with great confidence that 2013 did not suck butt as much as 2012 did.  in fact, this fiscal year was on track to be one of the best i've had in a while.  however some things and some people decided to make it their mission to take that away from me, lol.  insert long and drawn out sigh.  i don't wanna mention any names because i know the ramifications of my words, and that with great power comes great responsibility...

meanwhile, as i'm writing this, i was brought back to one of my very first movie roles.  i had grease on the netflix and this part was my breakout role that established me as a dancing powerhouse.  at about 1:30 in, the guy in the green leading that pack...that's me.  i know it doesn't look like me, but let's just say the make up was heavy.  take a look for yourself...you'll be like, "yep, that's wesley."

anyway, i digress as usual.  here's an inconclusive and non-exhaustive list of sh*t that happened in the '013 (again, the "o" is pronounced):

• i moved again...and then again (and probably one more time)...this one deserves a blawg of its own, lol

i think that pretty much covers it.  the year was not as good as i would have liked for it to be, and probably would have been a lot better.  i did the one thing i'll probably never do again...i did not trust my instincts.  c'mon, people, everybody knows that my hunches are never wrong.  tupac would still be alive if he had answered my call that day.  i promise i will blawg about it in the next year or so.  i have closed that chapter of my life, but you know how the life of a teacher goes - pretend to be happy, then complain to anybody who'll listen, lol.  it's funny how one short series of events can change someone's life for the worse.  well...not so much funny...but the word i have in mind hasn't yet been invented.  i'll invent it this year.

anyway, i don't have the gumption to continue because i've got things to do...but as usual...i'll get back to blawging this coming year and look forward to what's in store for me.  i will recap highlights from the '013 and explain why i'm sure that the '014 will finally be a goodun.  i've got my reasons.  they're good.  hence, goodun.

i've got big plans for the next three hundred sixty-five days, and i will try to keep everyone in the loop, while entertaining y'all with all the mishaps and misadventures that befall me and follow me every step of the way.  don't suck; do better.

the new favorite color is going to be...purple?  there's a reason, trust me.  i was gonna go back to "hakuna matata" for this new year's mantra, but i think i'm gonna try out a new one.  so...2014 will be the year that wesley is going to...eat life.

and eat it all.
