There are moments sometimes when everything seems right in the world.

Moments when you just forget about the things that put a damper on life.

I'm having one of those moments right now, thinking about the fact that in a few hours, it's going to be 2010. I'm reflecting on the past year, because I feel like reflection is kind of a necessity when it's New Years Eve ;)

And the thing that I keep realizing while mulling over 2009 are how many of those moments I've had...and how lucky I am to have had them.

They're the type of moments that come along during pivotal times in life, and they're the type that happen during seemingly inconsequential times.

On the 17th of November, I went into a store and bought my album with the people that mean the most to me. Needless to say, that entire night was one big surreal moment.

On the 21st of December, I got to go to court and get my record deal court approved (because you have to do that if you're under 18). I'm sitting across from the judge who asks me, "So, where can I get your album again? Best Buy?"

...THAT was one of those moments.

Then there are the little moments. The truly fleeting ones that seem much more important than they should.

When a butterfly circles your head on a bench at Pinkerton park, and you feel yourself falling for the boy sitting next to you.

When you're discussing business with your manager and out of the blue he asks, "How's your grade in Spanish?" And you can't help but laugh at that irony.

When your dog is wearing a pink sweater and you strongly consider submitting her to a modeling agency.

When you click on one of the fan sites that people made you because they like your music...nothing measures up to that.

Or when you log onto twitter or facebook or myspace and read things that people are saying about your music. Those ones are completely life-altering, believe it or not.

Okay, so maybe those are just my moments...but still, you know what I mean ;)

The moments are fast, they go as quickly as they come, and they don't necessarily change your whole life. Or maybe they do. But no matter how big or small, they make the world go 'round in their own little way.

It's on days that aren't so full of those moments that you close your eyes and remember them, though. Days when everything is going wrong, or even days when nothing has gone wrong but the world seems a little off-kilter, colors a little too dull, a smile seems a little bit fake...

I like to save up those moments in my mind...you know, for a rainy day :)

I guess the point of this blog is that going into the new year, I just wanted to say how incredibly grateful I am for the surplus of perfect instances that I can look back on.

You, the person reading this right now? Well, you're probably responsible for a few of mine.

So when I say "Happy New Year", you have no idea how much I genuinely want you to have a happy new year.

...HAPPY NEW YEAR, 

and Infinite x's and o's,
