well, here we go again.<\/p>\n

I’ve never been one to assess things based on ‘the year’ or any chunk of time such as summing up 2006<\/em>, but I will say that I think 2006 was a good run. And I think 2007 will likely only improve. Friends of mine and I talked about how 2006 seemed to imbue a sense of hope, or the possibility for potential<\/em> – which we must now take advantage of.<\/p>\n

There were the elections<\/a> which led to Rumsfeld’s resignation<\/a> – YAY!<\/em>; “You”<\/a> were announced as Time Magazine’s Person of the Year<\/a> – awezommmmeeee!<\/em>; lots of great art including the huge DADA exhibition at the MoMA<\/a>, as well as the exhibition of works on paper @ Flux Factory<\/a> which I helped curate – yes, I do see those exhibitions on the same professional bar!<\/em>; the Cardinals won the World Series<\/a> – SNAP!<\/em> (but for some reason you can still buy tickets online<\/a>? eh?); my Dad got to visit<\/a> and see where I live now – he’s the DUDE man!<\/em>; new housemates<\/a> mean new friends<\/a> – and I got to see some old ones<\/a>, as well as make a few<\/a> new ones<\/a> along the way; of course this blog was initiated halfway down the stretch (a lot of good that has done me, they should call these things time-vacuums not blogs!); I launched Normal Space @ Flux Factory<\/a> – although it’ll be over a year between the first two shows, ack!<\/em>; all in all a good run. No ‘resolutions’ here, just keep on trucking and hopefully exhaust more energy, that’s my outlook!<\/p>\n
