2009 in review, well,... sorta
Hey blog, been a while. Thought about doing the blog with video a while back, using my comp's built-in camera, but i just couldn't be bothered. First off, school interfered with those plans (i think i may have also suggested i'd be making more footbag vids soon too [bwahaha] and never managed that either), second, i just really had nothing noteworthy to say. If you really want to know what i'm up to add me on facebook (i'll ignore you) and check my updates. I'm narcissistic enough, i really shouldn't blog. heaven help me if i ever sign up for twitter. Heaven strike down those foolish enough to follow me...
2009 was awesome. it ranks up there with 2008, 2002, 2003. Pretty bitchen! gonna be hard to beat. While my footbag fell off, slummed it, curled up in a gutter someplace covered in feces and urine and eventually died, i had an awesome year. spent the first 6 months of it living beachside, surfing as much as possible, and travelling through oz. the last 6 were spent mostly in debt and living again as a poor student, but it has been good getting back into school. I don't know how 2010 can top it (it probably can't) but there's a few things i am looking forward to:
- Prairie surf- now that i know where to get on waves at home i look forward to as much surf as i can get in.
- Cold as fuck north pacific surfing - i still need a thick wettie but with tommy drop-in coming back from oz in a month's time i expect to get out there maybe once or twice.
- Summer! i missed out on the best part of summer in winnipeg this year (actually, most of winnipeg did, we didn't really have much summer) but in 2010 i'm gonna be straight into it!
- Getting back into footbag (a bit, the purist footbag player in me is gone, but i sure do enjoy a game of kicky bag!) and getting the crew out on the regular again.
- getting back into shape. that's my big goal for the year. Feel like i've been spending far too much time sitting on my ass (thanks school work!) and i look forward to getting my self back into good kicking and surfing form.
2009 had some shitty parts: Lost a couple really good friends to selfishness and stupidity. One died in a single vehicle accident after having a few too many and thought he would be fine driving home. On the plus side, he only killed him self and not any innocent people. The down side is he left his young family behind. Another lost a battle with drug addiction and overdosed on heroine. he also left his young family behind. Those shook me up a bit. At one point or another in my youth, these two were my best of best friends. Even though we had drifted apart in the past years it still cut me deep. There were alot of good people lost in 2009. The older we get the more frequently it happens. I just didn't expect it so soon.
At the same time, lots of people are getting married, graduating, having kids. Lots of happy stuff happened this year! While i'm happy for them, it scares me a bit- no, alot!
Every one is getting so adult. I'm still a kid. At least that's how i feel, even though i'll be 25 in 2010. fuck, isn't that scary. I don't see my self getting married any time soon, or graduating and getting a career any time soon. Shit, i certainly don't see myself having kids at any point ever. I'm just too selfish for kids.
On thing i do look forward to is getting some cash together and moving out soon. Gosh, love my folks to death, but after spending another free wheeling year on my own, coming home is hard to do. Maybe that should be my resolution this year. make money and move out...
But who knows, i got a whole year ahead of me... i could be married by the end of the year with a baby in tow (i ask that every one pray that this doesn't happen to me). Well, maybe i'd like to find a nice gal who's open to the idea of a relationship and has no aversion to practicing the baby making process, you know, just to get it right... just incase (every one can pray that i find a nice, stable, monogamous, smoking hot nymphomaniac who's into surfing and playing hackey sack).
Who knows.
there's a whole year ahead of me.
