Where's Your Head?

Its 2009 so first and foremost, Happy New everybody!  We all thinking positive and starting the newest year off with the cleanest slate we possibly can, right?  LOL! "Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it," is what I've always heard.  With that being said I don't know about you ,but I'm gonna start mine a little something like this...  

I read this my junior year in college, and haven't forgotten it since.  See if this passage jogs any of your memories.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 

Robert Frost (1874–1963).  Mountain Interval.  1920

Now, Robert is cool and all, but I'm not going to go rural on ya'll!!!  LOL!!  Let's just say I gotta step up my game a little bit, and what better time to do that than the beginning of 2009...

LETS GOOOOOOO,
Dominic
