But yeah, it's definitely sometimes a good release to vent something out.

Can't change, fix, or erase what it is. I know you said complain, but since my life doesn't have many hardships I have little subject in which to complain. I think it's good that when something does come along and you feel the need to complain you do it. Don't hold it back in fear that it may offend "someone." Life is too short to bottle it all in one little body. One side note: Travis...good on ya, mate! I guess I don’t know how to vent like you. 2008 was just that, 2008.

Personal responsibility needs to make a comeback in 2009. I'm doing a lot of healing from 2008, as you know, but I am really going to start out on the optimistic footing again. I think what you wrote bears a lot of truth about problems we face today. "...it is great to have a plan, but we have to formulate a problem before we try to solve..." I think this is the problem. We are formulating problems -- manufacturing them. The disbelief that things are going so well that we can't leave well-enough alone, so we fuck with it. Do we need the drama or something? Maybe? In any case, enough is enough. I am the master of bitching. I've perfected it. But this year I have a chance to really do things right. It's a slow start and an uphill climb, but you gotta start somewhere. Last year, my New Year's resolution was "The return of Travis." It took me all damn year but I accomplished it. This year it is, "Empowerment." I will get it back and I will be better than ever. I don’t have anything to complain about that wasn’t my own doing.

My poor hubby wasn't able to land a job at a university for 2009 because all the jobs he applied for dried up when the economy went in the crapper. I've gained weight and while I'm exercising a little more and watching what I eat, the scale refuses to move! Damn metabolism changing up on me... I haven't been able to find a decent (and somewhat inexpensive) stylist since moving! I refuse to pay $40 just so someone can take one inch off my already short hair in 25 minutes. My family never comes to see me and I feel like I don't matter to them. I feel more at home living overseas. The HBO series "The Wire" is invading my dreams at night. Well, I felt better for just a fleeting second... Bea, me too!

It sucks! I'm 34 years old and I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. It sucks! My poor stomach is all messed up after the round of antibiotics. It sucks! :-) I love you! THAT DOES NOT SUCK.
