2009
Well, I think 2009 is the year you could argue that I sort of became an "adult". With the typical use of the word. No school wonderlands, one job throughout the whole thing, AND a serious relationship.
(Let's not kid ourselves though, it just looks that way)
2009 had three major themes:
- Being injured
- Working
- Keri
Without a doubt the most frustrating/depressing thing about the whole year has been this nagging knee/shin injury. It never goes away, and it seems to infect the rest of my body. But my parents to the rescue! They got me to see a physical therapist in October and we are on the fast track to success! Now my complaints are mostly down to some plantar fasciitis, which should keep getting better as long as I don't play Wii Fit too much!
I worked all of 2009 with my friend Dan as apart of first Empty Garage Books and then later as apart of All Natural Bully Sticks. And while I love Dan, I didn't really enjoy the work. A full year of web development only led me to this post on why web development isn't the job for me.
And the thing I regret most about the year is definitely getting engaged to my fiance. All she has done is make me miserable. And I hate spending time with her. And she's a horrible match for me. And she's a really mean person. And she kind of smells. Seriously guys, she stinks. And did I mention that she's a mean person? Ugh!
(Just kidding! She's the greatest!)
Other thoughts about the year:
- I'm getting tired of driving back and forth between Colorado and Oregon.
- I don't spend enough time outside.
- I don't think it is possible to have enough kittens
- Going bald isn't fun, but in the end isn't too bad
- Rock climbing is really fun
- Swimming is sort of fun
- Cold showers are fun, as long as it isn't cold out
- I don't read enough
And that's about it!
But as we all know, we live in a world that is binary: either black or white, good or bad, apples and oranges. We can't have anything in the middle. You're probably dying to know if I gave the year a thumbs up or a thumbs down. So, without further ado...
The year definitely got a thumbs up! All in all it has been a great year.
Three cheers for 2009!

I head you about traveling back an forth between places! it's exhausting!
and I really don't get the whole bald thing culture has told us. I think lots of bald men (especially with a three day beard look) look great.
