Reflection

2007 has been a long, weird year. A lot can happen in just one short year. Here's a few things off the top of my head:
- I turned 24 years old.
- One of my heroes killed his family and then himself (still bothered by that one).
- I debuted as a stand-up comic.
- I bonded and got closer with a lot of cool people in Cincinnati, many of which will be friendships I'll keep throughout my life.
- The members of what became known as US for WE celebrated one full year of wrestling watching.
- I quit my job helping the mentally ill and gave the building the middle finger.
- I moved to Florida.
- I got paid to do what I earned my degree in (a paltry sum, but it's money).
- I went to two weddings featuring four friends.
- I discovered the wonders of "24" (Thanks, Ed.) and "Heroes" (Thanks, Eric Lawshe)
- Watched I Pity the Fool (Best Reality TV Show EVER!)
- My goddaughter turned two years old.
- I had a heartfelt goodbye with three of my clients, one of which I don't think will live to see 2008.
- I threw away, gave away, or sold half of my possessions.
- I went to Hooters for the first time (the food sucks).
- I got to spend time and get to know my aunt, uncle, and grandparents.
- I spent my first Christmas away from my family.
- I found a cool girl that will hopefully evolve into a special someone.
- My sister graduated from college (good luck, Rach).
- I got drunk for the very first time and haven't gotten drunk since.
- I did audio comedy with a good friend. Sodie Pop Junkshun Go! (Or however we spelled it, Tommy).
- My college roommate celebrated the birth of his first child.
- I said goodbye to the only good part of Cincinnati: my friends.
- I became a huge supporter of UFC's Forrest Griffin.
- Matt Hill introduced me to Mt. Carmel Stout (Best Beer Ever).
- I had the privilege to celebrate the second annual Valhalladay.
- I ate turkey on Thanksgiving for the first time in three years.
- I emailed my college friends nearly monthly.
- I suffered the deepest depression spell in my life...thus far.
- I took a huge step in achieving my kooky dreams.
There's more than that I'm sure, but it's the most I could come with. 2008 will be a new year with new beginnings. I just hope I can make progress and achieve the goals set out for me in a shorter timespan. Happy New Year to All!
