i've never made resolutions for a new year. i thought about doing it this year. of holing myself in a room over the weekend with a few friends who also felt like they had a ho-hum year and want to change things. i thought we could have like a friendship retreat and work out our individual goals for the upcoming months. that didn't happen. so i never pondered what kind of resolutions i would like to work. so at the end of the day, i am left with this simple thought: i don't care anymore. i chose not to care this year. except to care for myself. this is the year of being selfish. this is the year of that valuable ayn rand lesson in "anthem": ego.

p.s.
ate ethiopian food today for the first time at a vegan ethiopian restaurant in the ethiopian restaurant section of LA. at first, i was enjoying it. but the others i went with didn't enjoy it as much and gradually i too began to not like it so much. the service also wasn't so great, which added to the downward spiral experience. one day i'll have to give another try at another place.
