Looking Back

Wow...how quickly the year has come and gone. It's almost hard to believe another year is gone. I hope this year left you in good spirits. And i hope that 2009 will bring you your dreams and desires...

This year was a pretty good year for me. Better than 2007. And most certainly better than 2006. Looking back to the first post of 2008, i wanted to see how well i did. This is an excerpt of what i wrote:

If i could look into my crystal ball, i'd tell you what the new year will bring...but since i'm not that talented, i can tell you some of the things that i'd like to get done in the next 365 days.

• Complete the studio (minus a few pieces of wall art here and there)
• Buy that new vehicle
• Clean out the clutter from around the house
• Maybe get me a girlfriend
• Help take Finding Reason to that next level
• And some other things…

First of all, we had 366 days this year. The studio is more or less complete. I really don't remember when i declared that complete, but the goal was completed. There are still some things i'd like to do though...all in good time i guess.

I took care of that new vehicle. Delilah has been an absolute joy.

I was able to clear out quite a bit of clutter from the house. Granted there is still a lot of clutter to clean, but i feel this was also satisfied.

Didn't accomplish the girlfriend thing. I guess we'll put that on the list for 2009.

Finding Reason performed 2 shows this year. Two charity shows, one of which we headlined. Hey it was our show...we can headline if we want...The first show in included a 8 song set, 6 songs which were never played in front of anyone before. That was a thrilling night. The next show was a 9 song set in a real public venue. Unfortunately, there wasn't a huge turnout, but thanks to those that were there.

And well, the other thing to note was that i started working out and running this past year.

So, all in all, it was a good year. It could've been better but that is what 2009 is for right?

Again, i hope your 2008 was a good one...and i hope your 2009 will be even better...
