2008 is here!

2008 has arrived and I hope we all had a smooth transition ;).

For starters I went out w/some friends to a Mexican restaurant for dinner, after that we proceeded to watch the fireworks in the center of town. Innsbruck has some pretty good fireworks that they spend a lot of money on and have advertisement for in the north of Italy. Anyways when we got there they had locked the utter most center of the town from where you could actually see the fireworks properly, so we ended up seeing just about 1/3 of it all, which sucked a bit, but what can you do.
When the fireworks were over we went to some private parties. The first one sucked big time, but we quickly proceeded to the next where there were a lot of cool people my age group so that was fun.

I'll be upgrading my PC this month infact I have already purchased the core upgrades. I ordered xdsl internet which I don't know how long will take for them to get everything setup. It's 35€ a month, flatrate and pretty fast (I think 1024kbit dload and 768kbit upload).
I've also ordered a second Samsung 204b 20" screen and a desktop PC (AMD X2 6000+, 2gb RAM, Nvidia 8800 GT 512 RAM). This should erase any lag I had whilst playing.

Ofcourse I have a new years resolution. In 08 I have a financial goal of 200k or more, I believe I can do that. I'd also like to further improve my Spanish so I feel at ease speaking to any native.
I'd like to complete any uni course I start and work out on a regular basis. I started out well w/working out, but I lacked the discipline/motivation at times. I'd also like to maintain a healthy sleeping pattern over the most of 08.
I'll write down my goals for myself later on so that I don't forget them over the year and I may add one or two more.

Looking at 07 I can't really complain. A lot happend for me in 07 and it definetly changed me, I'm glad to say mostly for the better. I hope 08 will be even better though! One big appointment I have already made will be me staying in Vegas for 3-4weeks w/poker friends (jwayks, shadybreakfast, jethro87 and I think Haupt will show up there some time). That should get interesting, otherwise I will definetly be visiting Spain again (maybe even as soon as March).

Got to go and get some food now. Talk to y'all later.

When are you thinking of going to Vegas? Myself, Jason, and Noel are also planning on staying there next year for a while sometimes around the World Series.

Good luck for the coming year!
