What a year. I’m pleased that this year has come to an end. 2008 really helped me find myself again, so I can’t say that I hated it, but I can be glad its over.
This last year I realized I wasn’t happy and made some changes. Changes that may have hurt other people, but changes that were necessary. In the long run these changes will (and have) prove to be the best for all. No regrets.
Let’s recap 2008:
Learned to install a floating floor system.
Learned to patch drywall.
Learned that some fuses in a car are bolted on.
Realized that I was not happy with life, love, or the thought of the future.
Asked for a divorce.
Recorded a great demo with a great friend (I still need to record vocals. I’m a slacker! I hope Mike and I work together more in the future.).
Learned that Satan is spelled with 4 letters.
Got a divorce.
Lost a lot of belongings.
Realized that belongings mean nothing.
Found love and what feels like my first real adult relationship.
Struggled (ok, maybe not struggled, but it’s been quite the learning experience) with becoming a parental figure.
Got a cross training at work with prospects of a full time position.
Got healthier (and will continue to do so in ’09).
Drove with snow chains on for the first time in my life.
Witnessed over a foot of snow fall on a city (My previous record was about 5 inches).
Good times! I can’t wait for ’09!
Happy New Years! (Sorry Kirk. I had to throw that S in there for you!)

You’re a true inspiration, Big Guy! I’m happy you’ve found your path. Sure footing and easy balance all the way through. Don’t forget to peak behind the trees every so often.

Hey Big Guy,
I too found adult love after a long term relationship fell apart a few years ago. Congrats. I lost 180 lbs doing the surgery. Good luck doing it whatever your path is. Sounds like an interesting year and blessings in 2009.
