On Wednesday I realized it was one year since the night I'd had drinks with Dave Navarro, then danced on top of a bar for a DJ'ing Tommy Lee (yes, clothed, thank you... and it was at his prompting!). And here I was, remembering that crazy night in Montreal -- aka "The Best Tuesday Night Ever, Part II" -- from where I am now. In California. Where I'd wanted to live since I was 10 years old. Working for a company I'd adored and admired since I was 15. Combine that with 29 flights and two train rides in 2007, making appearances in not only San Francisco, San Jose (and the Silicon Valley area in general), and Ottawa, but also Thunder Bay, Chicago, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Portland/Hillsboro, Carmel, Monterey, and of course, Montreal... and you might say that 2007 was a blockbuster year.

So how do I top this in 2008? Give me time. ;) I'm brainstorming.

I think what I want to say to everyone is that if you have dreams, goals, and visions for your life, then never give up. Pour every ounce of yourself into making it happen, as far-fetched as you may think it seems. I've never really told the tale here of all that led me to where I currently sit, typing this post quickly on my lunch break. Wishing and intent alone is not enough. If you want to change something in your life, you have to take action and see it through. Luck is part of it, yes, as is willpower, but action is what changes things.

Is 2008 going to be a fun, rockin' year? You betcha. Am I going to have to work hard? Yes, absolutely. And I'm looking forward to every bit of what the next few months will bring.

I'll have more posts for you all this weekend, including the story of my entirely Californified dog, Pico. 'Til then, hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!
