So tomorrow is the last day of 2004.....how sad. This year was pretty good and pretty bad in some ways. For the good:
I got promoted at work
I got a nice raise
I went to see a Notre Dame football game at Notre Dame
I started my own business
I started going to the gym and getting my ass in shape
My Father bought another fishing boat and was able to fish all summer
Sirius Satellite Radio stock....need I say more
I built a full-size bar at my sister's house.....I have my legacy!
I spent more time with my Father than I have ever before....and it was all cool!
For the bad:
I am still single
I tried meeting new people, failing most of the time
I tried meeting women in particular, failing most of the time
I am resented at work.....and for stupid ass reasons.
I almost lost 3 of my fingers in a workplace accident
There aren't more than 24 hours in a day
For New Year's, I am going to get wasted since I only have to crawl up a flight of stairs at the most. Maybe I might just crash on my couch. Whatever, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Last night I saw my friend Kiera for the 2nd time this year. That is all I ever see her since she lives in another hemisphere....yeah, she lives in Argentina. Don't ask why cause it is kind of a long story. Moving right along.....she is really cool. Every time we are together, we can talk for hours and it always seems like we speak everyday, when in actuality we speak maybe once a month. We went to this great Mexican/Latin food restaurant in Smithtown. Too bad she doesn't live on Long Island anymore...she is such a cool person and a good friend. Maybe though, that is what our relationship is. Which is fine by me.
That reminds me....today I was kinda down in the afternoon. I don't know why, but maybe it was because I realized that I am still single on another New Year's. I know that is a poor excuse to feel upset, but when you are me and try so hard, that is excuse is just fine. I guess you could say my goal was to get into a relationship this year and I failed miserably. And it isn't because I didn't try.....I really did. I meet a lot of new girls and it always came down to the girl never calling me back. Say what you will about destiny or that it is her loss, but it still hurts more than any of you can understand. I am going to stop feeling sorry for myself now and just have fun while I can.
Finally, I was amazed when Amy commented on my personality before she left for Kansas this week. It never dawned on me, but I guess it has on others. This is what she said to me, "You know Joe, you have really loosened up. It is good." I was really pleased with that. I know that in the past I acted like a tight ass. I guess my whole "stop caring about a lot of things" has really paid off. I am really a much more laid back kinda guy.
Oh well, I am going to get ready to go out tonight. If I don't talk to anyone before the New Year, have a good one and I'll catch ya on the flip side!!
