good morning. january 1st, 2009 5am in hawaii. what am i doing up so early? i’m going surfing. going to start the new year off the right way… have a nice first day in 2009… and please be safe…
RESOLUTION means “a firm decision to do or not to do something.” i don’t know about japan, but new years resolutions in america is kind of a big thing. when i was younger, i usually never made one because my mind was weak and i broke the resolution within the first week of the new year. it wasn’t until about 4 years ago when i started making new years resolutions. i made them because i used it to give me drive throughout the year. my resolutions weren’t to quit drinking, stop swearing, or anything like that. mine is better. my resolutions were to work hard, surf and dive as much as i can, travel at any opportunity, and live a healthy and happy life. so come december 31st for the past 4 years, i sit down and think about my year. and every time, i have absolutely zero regrets. i surfed some of the best waves in the world, dove at some of the best diving spots in the world, traveled to many countries, and most important, made new friends. and 2009 will be no different. i can’t wait to do it all over again…. by the way, what’s your new years resolution? if you don’t have one, it’s not too late. in fact, it’s never too late….
and it all starts now. i woke up early this new years morning to start my 2009 off with a barrel… see you out there… or should i say, in there…
**one last thing, wanted to say happy new year to my family and friends around the world. you guys rock!!! see you in 2009….
