As the evening begins to approach Christmas Day, I like many other
people have begun to undertake a retrospective on the last year.
I must admit that I have been somewhat remiss in filling out the
biographical section of my blog. I am getting around to it at
some point. Nonetheless, I must admit that this year is certainly
ending on a much different note than it began. As 2004 began, I
was enjoying the continuation of a good relationship with my
girlfriend. and undertaking a modest effort at a job
search. At the middle of the year, things fell apart. The
relationship ended rather unexpectedly, and I began a the three month
whirlwind search for a new residence.
I eventually found a place for myself in August, and I proceeded to
move out the meager things I had at my girlfriend's place, leaving
behind the feelings I had for her and our dog (as she could not go with
me, and I could not see her regularly in my temporary circumstances of
the summer). With things settled, the last part of this year saw
me resuscitating my job search and getting those things that I needed
for my apartment.
That said, what does this really long post have to say? Well, the
last year has been quite tumultuous for me. Given that, the next
year should be better. In the last week of the year, I will be
making some resolutions for 2005. The bottom line here, though,
is not me complaining about the year I had. Instead, I am of the
mind that since this year was ultimately crappy, the next year is going
to be a better one.
I am off to bed. Merry Christmas to everyone, and see some of you following the holiday.
