So This is the New Year
Last night I had one of the best times of my young life. My closest friends and I rang in the new year with a veritable smorgasbord of alcohol and marijuana, celebrating the times we've had and the times to come in the new year.I want to thank all of you for being the best friends a guy can have, and for not only making it possible to exist in this social cesspool of a town, but for making it downright enjoyable.
Tonight will be a sad time for me, as I'm once again required to say goodbye to the people that have shaped my life. Tomorrow I embark on an arduous and enduring 24-hour road/sea trip that'll far remove me from our exclusive little ecosystem, and I don't know when I'll be back again.
With each and every passing year this town loses some of its appeal, and it's to the point where it offers me little more than an opportunity to quell my relentless nostalgia. Needless to say, this is not enough to keep me living here. My life is continually pulling me in new and interesting directions. My girlfriend, who i am absolutely 100% certain that I will spend the rest of my life with, will be done with her school and moving on. There are no opportunities here to get work that will provide me with experience in my chosen field - one can only work menial maintenance jobs for so long. With each year fewer and fewer people return, and the town inherits more of an air of unfamiliarity. My only regret is that my friends cannot accompany me. I don't want new ones. I've already met the best.
I am almost positive that I will be staying in Halifax past the end of the academic year, at least until May, perhaps June. From there, who knows what'll happen.
That being said, I'm not ready to lose you all yet, and I know I have at least one summer of puff'n'dips and woods parties left in me.
Until then;
Best wishes for the new year, and may you all be successful in your endeavors. #loser will unite us and will hopefully continue to do so for years to come.
Cheers everybody.

I felt that I should comment on this post, but you really have said it all already. It can be summed up in the word you signed off with; Cheers. Cheers to you and our whole group, you guys know who you are, and if you arn't one of us, then you probably suck. Now that I'm forced to stay in this town and live out a full year of my life in seclusion, I realize how important, not to mention fantastic all these people are to my mental and social development. It depresses me to know that you won't be back until late into the summer, despite how heavily I understand your position. By the time it rolls around I will most likely be aching for intelligent conversation and fun (like puff'n'dips).
But with that said, simply enjoy it man. We have loser and we now have WoW. Both of which will play large roles in getting me through this year.
Cheers buddy, see you at some point. When its warm :)
Peace.
hey man
i also feel a need to reply to this post. you guys ahve been my friends for sometime now. but we weren't always friends, growing up in different schools and microcosms within our macrocosm of grand falls. i must say that you guys are great, best friends in the world. you accepted me and whoever else that was interested in having a good time and being all around good people. it's almost at the point where i would consider you guys family. i lived with cin for a year of my life and that was amazing. so amazing that i failed out of mun. i, like setsfire, may not be home a lot of the summer. but it will be a cold day in hell before return to grand falls for woods parties and my first puff and dip. you guys are great, and #loser will make sure no one loses sight of the grand scheme of things...each other.
Cheerio

the cold day in hell part came out wrong, here is what i meant:
nothing but the four horsemen of apocalypse will be able to stop me from wood parties, and my first puff 'n dip.
correction made!
