Do you know what it's like to have hole ripped in your cornea by microbes? To the point where your eye is so infected that it hurts to blink? I do. And it sucks.

Ok, so I got a couple of responses to me not being willing to stay awake until midnight on new year's eve... (by the way, I was asleep before 11:00 PM EST) Let me respond.

Sure, it's the "new millenium." But, for all I care, it was the new millenium 17 years ago. It's a totally arbitrary date. 1000 years since 1000. 1000 was 1000 after 0. What makes 0 so special? To me, nothing, to somebody else, it may have more significance, but let's face it. The calendar is totally arbitrary. Yes, I realize my math is a little odd

Anyhow, my reasoning is that there's no good reason to be awake at midnight unless you're partying. I wasn't partying. I was exhausted and sick. So, I thought to myself, "What the hell am I doing trying to stay awake. I should get rest." So I slept. By the way, on a seemingly unrelated note... I woke up this morning with extremely bad conjunctivitis. More on that later.

I've been given a very interesting question. If I knew I would not fail, what would I attempt to do. What indeed... what indeed. More on this later.

Screw this staying awake until midnight crap. It's a new year somewhere else. Happy new year. Goodnight.

I'd like to reiterate the point that I hate being sick. I attempted to ski today, but I felt ready to collapse from exhaustion after only 20-30 minutes. So, I came back early, and felt crappy again. Happy new year to everyone, this may very well be the last blog of this year.
