2008 in review
So, 2008. My resolution for the last few years now has been "Do more than the year before." 2007 saw me moving out of my Father's house, which was definitely going to be something I was worried if I could beat. I mean, how do you beat getting out of your parent's house? Well, let us find out.
In a nut shell, I honestly don't think so. In January, I went to New York, first time there, flying both there and back, first time on a commercial airplane, in the same day. I went to work that same day.
A week or two later, I was fired for "tardies."
From the beginning of February till now, I've been collecting Unemployment due to the crappy job market here.
[March was my one year mark of being out of my dad's house!]
In May, "Andross" returned to Michigan, which meant "The Great Fox" was to be disbanded and the moon crashed into the world.
In real world terms, the homeowner of the house we were "renting" asked us for his house back. We had 30 days to vacate the premises.
Also in May, a friend of mine had an allergic reaction while out of state. After a phone call from friends she was with, I went into their e-mail account to find her home address and phone number. I sent her an apology for doing this, telling her I only did so 'cause I was worried about her and whatnot.
In June, I ended up in Novi with Shane. I was going to stay there until Unemployment ran out or I found a job + Somewhere else to live.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, the government wants to keep giving me money. Which, of course, means I have not run out of money yet.
In August, I was contacted by a company called DataMail. They wanted me to work for them, doing the same thing for them that I did for Comerica during January.
December, the Bonneville finally stopped moving and I got a red 97 Taurus now.
On the 23, my Uncle passed away, the second family member of mine to die due to a heart problem. I'm both very saddened by the loss of my Uncle and worried that I'm on my way to heart trouble myself.
On the not so structured side of things, I've made a couple friends, lost a few friends and very likely upset quite a few over the year.
To anyone I've inadvertently upset, made uncomfortable, generally pissed off, etc. I'm sorry. If you think this is to you, there's a chance it is and I apologize.
I've come to terms with some things about myself, learned some things about myself and even attempted to change a few things about myself (to no avail, for the most part.)
So, this year, I don't think I succeeded. Well, I might have, but I honestly don't feel as if I did. Then again, I recalled a lot more of this year than previous, soooo...
My resolution this year. I honestly thought to make my resolution to get myself in shape, to get healthy to avoid heart problems. But I wouldn't do it and would then feel horrible when it was December 30th, 2009. So, I'll just keep my resolution as it always has been, to do more in 2009 than I did in 2008. And I'm pretty sure I can manage.
Love you all, I'll be doing this again at the end of 2009!
