2004: The year in stupidity
Well, here we are, the end of the year rundown. I’ve been thinking about the
last year a lot and I think i have to honestly say that the last twelve months
were the best I’ve had so far.
And here are just a few of the highlights:
- By far the highlight of the year is moving in to the Whitney House with
a great roommate, Keith. Followed shortly thereafter by Chris and Athena moving
out here. Now there are just a few more souls to move out this way and plans
will be complete. - Best travel: This is a toss-up between
birthday and
Athena’s Wedding on Block Island. Both were great and celebratory. I
would almost give the edge to the wedding because I saw more friends, but you
only turn 30 once, and Vegas is a heck of a way to celebrate. - Best thing I did for myself: get off my butt and start losing
weight. I moved into my current apartment in March. At that point I weighed
about 300 pounds. Through a change in my diet I immediately saw a few pounds
drop off. It then took me until July to get motivated enough to start hitting
a gym every day. Since then I’ve
I purposely leveled off my weight in the middle of November to give my body a
chance to even out. I’ve been able to hold to about the same average with
a little up and down in there and in January I’ll go back on a more strict
diet.
It’s been really encouraging to have my friends, family, and
coworkers comment on my progress. The best is seeing a person the I hadn’t
seen in months. Generally their expressions were priceless and in the case
of a person that hadn’t seen me in years, he didn’t even recognize me. - Best Party I Helped Throw:
House. Keith, Cortney, Athena, Chris, and I put on one heck of a great
party if I do say so my self. Hopefully we can top it next year. - I got two big tattoos this year: an anchor and a skull and cross bones. I
haven’t posted on them yet because I was waiting for the skull to heal so
I can have some pictures of it up. Look for a post very soon about both
experiences.
I’m sure there is a lot more stuff, but nothing I really feel like writing
down. If you look through the archives here and at the
what the year was like. Very good overall as I said before.
Now I get to look forward to what will happen in the next year. It’ll be
interesting to see what happens out of this list of my predictions.
- I’ll be losing more weight, this is for sure as long as I keep to working
out and a good diet. - I’m probably going to shave off my goatee. A lot of people seem to like
it but sometimes I just don’t think it fits me. - More tattoos. As much as my mom doesn’t like them they are a part of me
and I’m sure I’ll be getting more. - I’m going to read a lot more books. I’d like to shoot for at least two a
month. - My job will get more exciting, but nothing I can talk about yet.
Happy New Year Y’all!
