My 2008
 
Time for my annual "reflections on the past year" post. So here goes.

This year I... 

-Went on an epic journey to the Emerald City Comicon where I got to meet Wil Wheaton, Ed Brubaker, Tim Sale, and others in the delightful spectrum of nerdery. I think Wil Wheaton was impressed with our awesome disposable camera. 

-Went on a voyage across the Pond to London and Paris. Whilst there, I met Stephen Fry. I saw Avenue Q and Timon of Athens at the Globe theatre. I saw the Crown Jewels, and the Rosetta Stone. Paris provided the sites of the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Catacombs, the Arc De Triomphe. Also saw a dead body being dragged out of the Seine. 

-Finally got to see Sam Roberts in concert in London. Which was awesome, because y'all know he's my favourite. Never seem to catch him in Vancouver.

-Maintained the reputation for attending midnight screenings. I was first in line to see: The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones, X-Files:I Want To Believe, and Quantum of Solace. Well, not quite first for Quantum of Solace. But pretty close.

-Learned how to play chess (properly) and joined a bowling league. I discovered the secrets to solving the rubik's cube.

-Found in myself a tremendous passion for Social Media and Marketing. I started a blog, became a twitter addict, and got over my resentment of facebook. I read more marketing books than I ever thought I would.

-Went back to my birthplace of Alberta. It was nice to see the Rocky Mountains again.

-Had the silly idea that three jobs at one time would be a good idea. Turns out that wasn't such a silly idea after all.


Ok so last year was pretty good. I had a lot of fun. I gained friends, I lost friends. All in all it was a very reflective year for me. I was able to sort out my own personal goals and priorities. Even if I didn't do that much this year, at least I had fun. My main resolution last year was to be happier. I think I accomplished that.

This year I want to take better care of myself. I don't want to lose weight necessarily, but I would like to eat healthier, and start scheduling time in the week to go to the gym. I'd also like to make sure I don't miss out on any opportunities to get out and gain more valuable experiences. Starting now.

Well, it is 12:30 and I'm still in my Star Trek pyjamas. Maybe I'll start getting in a few minutes. ^_^

PS: Wow, epic tagg-ery batman! Coolbeans
