how do you measure a year?

first point for the day: last. night. was. amazing.
there was no place i would have rather been and i don't think my abs could feel much stronger after a night of intense dancing and massive amounts of laughs and memories... what a way to end a fuckin' phenomenal year...

now, down to business...

the following post format has been lifted from the idea of a friend... below is the first line from the first post on my blog from each month in 2005... gimme a little time to put together a proper post that sums up what an amazing year this was, but for now -- hell yes, please enjoy:
