As the year comes to an end the inevitable reflections begin and a quick search through my old blogs yielded the following nuggets from a year ago:
Happy New Year!!!!
Category: Life
Happy New Year folks! I wish you all the best in this upcoming year and remember things can only get better no matter what lol. It will be fairly difficult to top 2007 as far as I'm concerned. A year ago today I dumped my ex and the year took flight since then having a great time. Had a blast with friends, graduated, working jobs I enjoy and met a wonderful woman not so long ago. There are a few things that could happen in this upcoming year to surpass all that, but it won't be the end of the world if they don't, far from it, I'm extremely happy with my life, have been for a while and I wish only the same to all of you!!!
The "wonderful woman" I speak of is no longer by my side, but we remain good friends. I still work jobs that I enjoy and while I don't remember what "few things" could have happened to top a good 2007 many did happen that not only surpassed my expectations, but also set the bar pretty high for 2009. Let me start by the second blog I found:
New Year Bullshit
Category: Blogging
So I was watching Telehit (Mexican MTV) while making myself breakfast and the VJs were talking about new year superstitions that people do for good luck. Some I had never heard of like hanging a small sheep on your door to bring in money, sweeping the house to sweep away bad vibes and walking in and out of the house with a suitcase for... a who cares. At any rate I found it amusing how as they were talking about superstitions they brought on an astrologer to assess the New year. Hysterical to have an astrologer taken seriously on a show about superstitions. At any rate apparently it is the year for earth signs such as Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn. Here is what really amused me, it is Capricorn's year. They'll have new business opportunities, they'll go all high tech, upgrading home crap and what-not and maybe even getting a new car. Really? This is a Mexican channel, mostly viewed in Latin America where 60% of people if not more live in poverty. Is it going to be those Capricorn's year too? How is the homeless or poor one going to go "high tech"? Or how will they get that new car? What a bunch of bullshit, honestly. Also, it seems it's going to be Cancer's year too, I'm supposed to have great opportunities in love, education and professional life. I'm not going to lie, I immediately said "whoo-hoo" to all the good news, but c'mon, you make of your life what you want, not what Jupiter in the house of Capricorn aligned with Venus and Pluto in a scalene triangle will throw at you. It's fun, outside of that it bugs me to no end how we as a society keep giving these blatant charlatans such credence.... OH well.
What I thought was bullshit ended up being shocking coincidence if not flat out fate. I did have a change in employment and when it came to my romantic life… Jesus did I have a whirlwind of a year! Even though my girlfriend at the time decided to call it quits a week into the New Year, I met a woman that, like most of the women in my life, has inspired and motivated me into new adventures. As long as I meet my own goals this year (open my own business, land a full-time advising job and write my book) I'll consider it a good year, anything else that happens will be a bonus. Just like a year ago I'll be just as vague and say that few things can happen to surpass 2008.
Whether you had a good or bad year, it is never too late to turn things around.
Happy New Year!!!!
