the yr of no significance..
happy new yr..
so for a while now ive thought 2003 would be a numerically insignificant yr because since '99, it has broken the pattern of cool numbers. take a look:
1999 - the penultimate yr leadin to the new century/millenia (although the millenia didnt technically begin till 2001, right?)
2000 - y2k. or for us videogame sports fans, nba2k..
2001 - the yr we made contact. seriously, only worthy because of stanley kubrick..
2002 - i luv palindromes..
so 2003 is just kind of.......blah. right?
by the way, i actually think 1998 was significant as well--cuz it was the yr jordan hit the prettiest championship-winnin shot youll ever see..
anyways..
i spent last wk (christmas wk) in st louis hangin out w/ the in-laws, which was quite fun. although we didnt do much (like go out or even see two towers) because of the snow, it was pretty coo just chillin w/ the kims. in a way, i feel like their household should have their own reality show because each of em is individually interestin. everyone has a distinct personality and a set of distinguishin quirks. oh, and everyone is type-A. so when these alpha-humans come together for a nice family dinner or huddle around the fireplace, it becomes a trage-comedy of epic proportions--each and every nite. i might get in trouble for sayin this: before i began goin out w/ esther, one of our friends--after spendin a nite at their house--said while he was there he was both scared to death and constantly laughin. "everyone is always yellin. it was so funny, but i was so scared.."
i know exactly wut he means =)..
but the thing is the yellin is not a negative thing at all. in fact, its a perfect reflection of wut their family is all about--they all love each other. not in the 'oh-we-grew-up-together' or 'we-are-family' sense. but in the truest form of missin and wantin to spend time w/ each other. its remarkably refreshin to see a family not only eat dinner together away from the tv, but also hang out at the table after all food is gone. maybe its cuz growin up even when my parents and i ate together, dinner was over when we we were done eatin. its like we each led our own separate lives (or at least i led my own) in the same house. but w/ esthers family, theyll all just chill w/ each other at home and enjoy doin so..
anyways, thats my glad-to-see-the-human-race-is-still-around note of the wk. have a happy new yrs day..
