looking back at this year of journal entries, i'd have to say that this has been an amazing year. my recent heartbreak aside (a huge entry on that coming this week- i just havent had it in me to write about it til now), i have found so many great things and people and experiences in the universe. even the painful things were only so because they had been great before...

anyway, to not jinx it, here are the lyrics to "pretty good year":

tears on the sleeve of a man
don't want to be a boy today
heard the eternal footman
bought himself a bike to race
and greg he writes letters and burns his cds
they say you were something in those formative years
hold onto nothing as fast as you can
well still pretty good year

maybe a bright sandy beach
is gonna bring you back
maybe not so now you're off
you're gonna see america
well let me tell you something about america
pretty good year
some things are melting now
well what's it gonna take till my baby's alright

and greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in
lucy was pretty your best friend agreed
well still pretty good year
