2003 review(these seem to be all the rage nowadays)
Wow I have done a lot of things this year! And a lot of changes have been made in my life as well.
Lifestyle:
One of the biggest changes I have made this year was joining the navy(technically I did that last year, but eh), though I view that as some what of a mistake I did get to experience things I never would've otherwise. Where else but the navy can one man do so many jobs and still be underpaid for even one of them? I have learned a job though a good job in the navy, it won't translate very well into the real world. But that's all on account to the navy not using state of the art equipment, or even software that isn't ten years old.
I've come to terms with some difficult things about me and my past. Some of them were easier than others. Some were very difficult.
Me:
I've changed my appearence a few times. I lost the sideburns and soul patch I was so proud of*sob*. My glasses broke and I finally got some contacts. Most of my acne is gone now so that's a big plus to the self-esteem. I've gained a little weight and a little muscle. Got a few new scars too. I've had my heart ripped out and am still recovering from that.
People:
I've met some really cool people. Mostly due to the navy. Some of you are here online, while some are off somewhere in the real world. The people I've met this year who have made a difference good or bad:
Naomi
Naomi has made the biggest impact on my life this year. She has shown me a lot of things about myself, and other people in general. Mostly though she has taught me about love. Through her I have known extreme hapiness, but alas much sorrow. I now know that I can not make people love me, nor can I let them treat me like that again.
Kyle, Jessie, John, and Josh
You guys have taught me various things. Kyle, Josh, and John you guys were the big brothers I never had. You guys cared about far more than my real brother ever did. Jessie you are my sister no matter how much you might deny it. We fight like brother and sister. lol if she could read this she'd laugh at me for being retarded.
Mac
You will always be there for me, because you're my friend. It means a lot to have somebody on the ship really give a damn about me and my goings on. It seems like when I tell the people in my shop my problems they laugh, but you listen first then laugh. All that and you even try to get me laid with your friends and stuff.
All those shitty Navy people
Thank you for without you I wouldn't stress nearly as much.
All my LJ friends

darthkasst

discordian
You do your own thing and I respect your opinion for that.
el_supe
Jeremy first thing, fucking call me. Don't give up hope, you judge yourself a little to hard. But at least you're growing up.

Kalin buddy sometime soon we have to hang out again. You're coming along nicely. I hope you answer all your questions soon.

jasonulloa
Oh fuck it I'll see you at work soon enough
lifeofaspider
Maybe just maybe one of us will figure out women, but hey if it you let me know.
linkinparkyay
You are hands down one of the best emcees in our humble little rap communities. Even if you doubt yourself sometimes.
mac_03
See you tomorrow.
marikoroo
Baby if you change I just might go out of my mind from boredom. Keep posting pictures, you turn my buddy on! Everybody make uber babies!
meltherose
We are so getting married. So don't even try to deny it.
modeofgauze
I will help you with your rhyming even though I am still sucky as hell.
muted_prophecy
Keira, while I'm sad you got rid of your other journal you have taught me quite a bit in our short time together.
peabody3000
Your poetry is very good. I know don't comment on it much but I do read it. Keep up the good fight!
pen_is_good
Update more you furry fool.
psychoasuka02
Les I haven't seen you in forever. We need to hang out again.
ravincheshire
Clinton, don't let being so far from home get to you. At least you are surrounded by many beautiful Japanese women. God only knows what I would do in your situation.
seamanwildside
Michael you have one of the best ears for music, and your opinion will always be respected by me. Sometime we have to spar again, but only when I'm one your level.
theresaj
We just met butI hope good things on you.
wrongemgirlo
And along comes Mary. We never really talked when I lived in Vegas but whenever I come back I'll save a little time to hang out with you.
And finally my New Year's Resolutions:
Oh goodies the resolutions time! Next year I'll try to at least uphold one of these(though I won't)
1. I will find the one girl for me.
2. I will try to not let the stupid stuff bother me so much
3. I'll try to meet even more cool people
4. I'll try to get over my fear of relationships
5. My drawing will get much better
6. As will my rapping
7. I will try to become a better person
