Another year come and gone, and this has been an especially busy one for me. Looking back, seems like the year between August of 2006 to August of 2007 was probably one of the most volatile periods in my life to date. So much has changed that it seems almost outrageous to reflect on it now. I have changed seemingly everything during that period of time; I changed apartments, quit jobs, lost a girlfriend, made new friends, lost touch with old friends, got a new girlfriend, fried a computer, got a new laptop, lost a cat, adopted a new cat, left the country, reluctantly returned to the country. The person I was two years ago seems almost like a complete stranger to me and I can’t help but wishing that I could communicate with my past-self and warn him of the changes ahead.

Things tend to get a little too intense and screwed up at times for me, but I guess that is just life. I’ve learned a lot over the past year, but to be honest, I’m glad that its over. With all the change swirling around me, there have remained percious few constants; Friends, family and small static comforts, and for them and the solidity to my life that they bring I am truly thankful.

So now on the eve of yet another year, I can’t help but wonder, “What else can change?” I have high hopes that things will be changing for the better this year, I feel that I’m finally back in a place where I can move forward with some positive energy and positive motivation.

So here is to the new year… I think I’m ready for this one.
