It's curtains for you kid.
2008... Man, what a year
Sure technically it's not over yet, but the fat lady is warming up backstage and we might as well kick the vaudeville number off now.
This year will not be forgotten, that's for sure. The first time I've cared enough about politics to step inside a voting booth. The first time I hurled myself out of a perfectly functioning airplane. The first time I've gone camping. The first time I've gone caving. My first half marathon. Helluva lot of firsts for one year.
There was a lot of growing up to do this year. When the economy took a tumble, it took down a lot of hopes and dreams I had, but more importantly I think it made me realize I wasn't a kid anymore.
There was also a lot of learning. Both good and bad lessons. For one, I now have a motorcycle license, no bike but most definitely a license. I've gotten more into climbing, and hopefully better. I learned a lot about friendship, perhaps more than any other year.
I rang in 2008 with a great big party in the company of a lot of friends. It's slightly depressing that I end this year feeling more alone in the world than I ever have.
To 2009 eh?
What do I want out of 2009? A pony.. a goddamn pony towing a better economy behind it. A little stress, a little less heartbreak. A little bit more climbing, a little bit more driving. But most of all, hopefully at the end of 2009, a Leo that feels a little less alone.
