Hmm....been a funny old year for me. A lot of people I knew passed away. I nearly joined them.
I bought a housebus, finished my restoration, bercame branch manager of where i work and found myself a new lady.

The pluses far outweigh the negatives for a change

I guess turning 21 was my greatest moment of 2008, but even that wasn't so great;

Got some Jack Daniels, and Jagermeister. Since I've never drank anything harder than smirnoff ice, I just started with a Jack & Coke. I wanted to get ****ed up, and I got impatient, so this dude got us some skunk weed and I smoked some of that. Bad idea. I've never felt like throwing up the last few times I've tried weed, but after a while, my stomach started really hurting.

Didn't throw up, though. Didn't pass out either, though, but I spent the rest of the night on the bathroom floor, still aware that stuff was going on but not exactly conscious enough to engage in any of it.

Next morning, I woke up, and was dying for a smoke (Tobacco, not weed), until I realized someone stole my cigarettes and my cash (Only 20, but still). It ended up being the one guy who got us the weed.

So yeah. Next year, a friend of mine'll be turning 21, so I redo my celebration then.

Probably graduating was what 2008 was all about.
Didn't find love.
Didn't do anything worth-while.
Oh, I started going to the army, but apart from that? Nothing really.

Strange year this 2008 thing... basically it changed a pattern for me that I'd been in since moving to the States from Australia three years ago. My wife was the main income earner, and I helped out with the kids etc to save on day care, etc... I also worked in a grocery store.

Well this year I was lucky enough to resume working in the education industry (where i was working prior to moving here) and my wife stopped working altogether, so the roles were kinda reversed... except I started working my old job and my new one simultaneously...

So its been exhausting, rewarding, complex and somewhat interesting, but altogether, I have acheived alot this year... a really conflicted year with alot of great stuff and difficult stuff all rolled into one...

Uni has and will probably remain brilliant. I'm a much better person for it.
