2010 - The newest year so far

Another new over - a new one just begun.

A new year is the start of many things - the next round of annoyances, troubles and despair, the next bombardment of smiles, laughter and opportunities, the next smattering of technological advances, and the next awesome famous person dies.

Seeing the year go by, I must admit this has to be the longest year so far. A lot of things went the way I wanted them to, but towards the end of the year things became more mundane repetitive.

Regardless, last night was awesomeness. I met up with some friends at Parramatta and headed to Martin Place for the fireworks. The fireworks went by pretty quickly but it was a nice thing to go watch. Here's some pictures (courtesy of Susy):

After fireworks we headed off to the station which ended up to be a mosh pit of sweat and noise. After 3-4 minutes of drunken yelps and god-awfully belched songs, we were fed up and Alan suggested we turn around and head to 'a great pizza place.' It ended up being really good - we sat by the water and chowed down on our greasy slices of heaven (yes, I was that hungry).

Once I got back to Parramatta Station (5am), I met up with my girlfriend who's been overseas for the last 3 weeks. What a great start to the new year! Thanks everyone!
