From 2010 to 2011 ... Happy New Year!
Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2010 1:30 am
Yeah, here we go heading into a brand new year. Now i'm sure we'd all love to look back and reflect on what 2010 brought us as Transformers fan, but that particular topic will be along later.
I thought i'd kickstart a thread for everyone to reflect on the year that was, and take a look at what the year will be.
For me, 2010 was a bit of a continuation for the changes that have happened in my life in the last three years. It's truly amazing what a change in job can bring you, and two and a half years ago I did just that. Changed jobs. Since I did that i've moved ahead in life. I got a new car, paid it off, and this year I took the big plunge and bought a town house of my own.
Now I won't be moving into it until the tenants get out at the end of January, but I now have a mortgage and about 30 years or repayments ahead of me.
A few years back I helped form a community band for this town, a little concert band. We didn't do much this year, but next year is shaping up to be big for us. We're moving from the local high school into an actual auditorium for our practices and i'm going to be taking on a more direct role in helping get us out there to the public. After all, if i'm going to be doing the marketing for work, I may as well utilise those talents and contacts for the band!
I head into 2011 still single, 2010 had it's ups and downs in the romance stakes. All involving one woman who loved me, hated me, and just plain loved to hate me and hated to love me. Very very confusing woman. But you know what? I've learnt from it and i'm going to be taking those experiences into 2011.
2011 will also mark the year I turn 35. Which, according to the various death clocks on the internet, means i'm well past the first half of my life. Oh the horrors!
Overall I think 2010 was a fairly quiet year for me. Things happened, both good and bad. I enjoyed the good and learnt from the bad. 2011 will be a big change for me, my own place, but at the same time I think it'll also be a quiet year as well. But then again, I could be wrong, after all, who knows what the future may hold for me.
Resolutions? pffffft. We all know I won't keep them anyway. But like many, I want to lose weight. So we'll see how I go with that.
Happy New Year folks, over to you!
