To take a look back at 2008, it wasn’t a very fun year. It was my most productive in terms of money earned, but if I based everything on money values I wouldn’t have enough material to have a blog, though to be fair, I’m getting closer to it.
Well, suffice to say I’m really glad 2008 is over, though the prospect of turning 21 hardly thrills me, and if it does, it does so in the way the woman in the “thriller” was, er, thrilled. Obviously, my writing ability is on a decline. I’m actually quite surprised I managed to survive the entire year without any (major) mishap. Safety is something we should all be thankful for, as I’ve come to realise. Dear god, I’m turning old.
On the resolution front, I don’t think I’ve accomplished any of my resolutions, mostly because I don’t even remember what I resolved to do other than “not die”. I think there was “rap”, “chinese” and “rap in chinese” somewhere in there too, which probably means that while I told myself I was getting closer to my goals, I was doing a Michael Jackson moonwalk and regressing like a fool without knowing it.
I am, however,very good at accomplishing other people’s resolutions. Save money? Done, and I don’t know what to do with it. Become more independant? Yeah. Have a better idea of what I want to be doing? Kind of. Have an adventure? Done. It is as Master Yugui of kungfu panda fame said :” One often finds his destiny on the path to avoiding it.”
And so, a new year is upon us. And I believe it’ll be much better than this one. I really do. Because it doesn’t take much for any year to be better than 2008.
