2012.

"new year"

this is the time when i change everything i dislike and embrace everything i do like about myself.  this is the chance to take advantage of my clean slate and be who i want to be.  this is the decision i make to progress forward and not look back.

inspiration: "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" - closing time, semisonic

additional thought: encouragement by the 12/20/12 end of the world theory could also play a role in our carpe diem mentality for the year
