Dear Alexander,
The last day of 2007 is here. Do you remember how it went? I’d like to be prepared. I am going to a “party” at a bar in Manhattan called Johnny Utah’s. Not sure what to expect. One of those last minute impulsive choices. It has a mechanical bull to ride. I am hoping this is not a party of gimmicks to distract me from the 100 bucks I spent. I will leave if it sucks…maybe meet some other friends out, or just go home.
Neal is still here at the apartment. He was just playing Grand Theft Auto on the PS2. He and I have probably wasted days of our lives playing that game. We had breakfast at a place in Hoboken called Frozen Monkey Cafe. They have an exhibit of an artist Angie Mason. Beautiful and interesting work. Do you still have the prints I got from Jamungo, and how about the little “toy” and print? On our way there, we walked across Indian Food and Dog Poop on the ground. You have to love Hoboken. (note: Neal had Dog Poop on his shoe)
I have made some New Year’s resolutions. Did I keep any of them? I think there are plenty of easy ones that should be easy to keep - read more, see movies I always put off seeing, go to the gym. But what about the ones like, keeping in touch with my friends? Did I do a good job with that? How about money? Do I stop spending it all?

A friend of mine introduced me to Eddie Vedder’s soundtrack for the movie “Into the Wild”. I bought it yesterday. It is a wonderful album. I remember being 14 years old and spending hours on the phone with a girl I met, Nicole, and we would talk about Pearl Jam’s album Ten. I wonder where she is now? She moved to North Carolina I think. Her father was a Police Officer. That was the beauty of being young, I could spend 2 hours on the phone and the other person wouldn’t judge it as we do now, older and supposedly wiser. I think I have spent more time playing games as an adult than I did as a child.
Well, I don’t feel I have too much more to say. I am confident 2008 will be a great year. I look forward to making mistakes, learning more about myself, meeting interesting people and having fun. Maybe I will get a new apartment? Should I move? How about work? I look forward to hearing from you. I will be thinking about you.
Love,
Alex
