2008: Year in Review

Well, 2008 is on its way out, and it's time for a look back. This year saw me graduate from college, change vehicles, put almost 2000 miles on my motorcycle, and get a pretty cool job on the IT staff at a local bank. The economy's gone to shit, but don't worry, the government will save us. By paying for ridiculous bonuses for the executives of failed financial institutions. Apparently. We'll have a new president in a few weeks, and who knows, maybe a rich black guy will be different from the previous 43 rich white guys.

Since it's customary at this time of year to list some resolutions that you'll never get around to following, I guess I'll list some.

I need to pay more attention to my social life. That is, if I were to hypothetically have a social life, I would pay attention to it. Case in point: it's new years fucking eve, and I'm posting on my blog.

I need to read more, and watch less television. In my defense, I watch mostly Discovery, History and Science channels, but even those are starting to get invaded by mindless holy-shit-let's-watch-the-same-disaster-footage-20-times shows. I got a copy of The God Delusion for Christmas (irony much?) which I have been devouring. When I'm done with that I'm going back to my leather-bound copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy collection.

I need to lose me some weight. Still.

Well, it's almost midnight, and if I don't post this in time my wishes won't come true, or something like that. I don't know.

I'm out, see you noobs next year.
