Guys, I am so glad 2009 is over. I didn't really like it very much.
My issues with 2009 directly influenced my blogging (or rather, lack thereof), and I am not going into a lot of detail about those issues here. Suffice it to say that any blog posts I could've written in the last 5 months would have involved a lot of navel-gazing and complaints. Those goals I talked about at the beginning of the year, like getting rid of stuff and learning how to build things? Yeah, didn't get very far with those. I've come to dread the "how are you doing" question from folks I haven't seen in a while. I can lie (yuck), or I can be honest about how I'm not really very happy right now (no fun either). As an added bonus, I feel guilty about not being happy, because I have it so much better than many do. Woo!
This isn't fun to write about. I like to report on exciting new things! Crazy schemes that just might work! Amazing sights I saw or experiences I had! Not on how I'm just kind of stuck in my own bleah and not even really taking notice, let alone advantage, of the possibilities around me.
But, y'know, that's where I am.
So, new calendar year? I'll take it! Maybe things will be different. Or maybe not. But it feels like a change, and right now that sounds pretty good to me.

Hey!
I feel the same about 2009. Even if 2010 isn't a vast improvement, it can really only get better.
So I guess what I'm saying is if you wanted to hang out sometime I would definitely not ask how you are doing or be distraught that you're not happy. I'm not happy either, really. But life is still happening, which is something...
It's good to see you blogging again! I hope the undesirable aspects of 2009 don't carry forward, and 2010 is a much better year for all of us. Let me know if you need diversion. :-) Happy New Year!
you are AWESOME. i love you.
don't be so hard on yourself.

"Kiss my grits."
Crap, you probably wouldn't get it.
Whatever.
