Blast from the Past

Happy 2012 everyone!
Matt and I had a great low key New Years. I spent most of New Year's Eve Day playing Minecraft then got all gussied up, and we went and had dinner at Sim's... I'll be honest, while I normally LOVE their food, it was only okay. We actually had to send back our side because it was WAY too salty. We just went home afterwards and watched the countdown on TV.... well actually I turned on the ET Canada New Year's Concert from Niagara since OLP was playing.... we actually missed our countdown because they are in another time zone, oops! But it made me realize how much I enjoy OLP.

I've always been into music, but got into it big time back in JR High, this is right around the time when OLP, IME, Econoline Crush, Bush, Moist, Tea Party were popular on Much. Tonight I've just been playing on youtube and listening to everything from the past. It makes me realize that there really isn't much NEW rock out there. Sure there's Foster the People (which aren't really rock) and there is the Sheepdogs, but they do more of a 70s vibe..... really I can't think of anyone who really does rock or alternative right now and it makes me sad. While I do enjoy pop and dance music, sometimes you just want or need to rock out.

I didn't make any real big resolutions for 2012.... just to continue to be happy and enjoy life, to not sweat or stress over the small stuff.  Things I am looking forward to? Becoming an Aunt. Going on a trip with Matt. Possibly getting a new car or a house. Hopefully getting a full time contract at a school. But you never know what life will throw at you. Just need to smile, breathe and keep going.
