As it turns into 08: Chapter1- '07 year in review

After having a great 2006, I had high expectations for 2007. In fact I think I had too high of an expectation for 2007 because I really thought 2007 wasn't that great of a year. If I could put a word to 2007, I would have to say it was pretty lackluster.

The reason I say its lackluster is because I didn't go out or partied as much as I expected this year. Thats partially my fault for wanting to save money this year. Also, in an attempt to find a new position, there was no success in 2007. I also realized at one point that I was settling for less, and that was a horrible thing to discover.

Now don't get me wrong, this year didn't totally suck, I still was active, I still went out and hung out with my friends, I attended my first anime expo this year and I went to vegas a couple times.

As for achieving goals and self improvement, I was surprised to achieve the goals that I set back in the beginning of the year. I did get back to learning japanese, i did purchase the list of items I wanted this year, instead of practicing salsa I ended up practicing bboying, and I did save a good amount of money this year. I still was active with the running. As for learning a instrument, I practiced playing the guitar a couple times but that didn't really fly off.

I left 2006 and entered in 2007 with a smile. As I walked through the year the smile stopped and the smile turned into a look of worry. Reality started to set in and the face of worry turned into stress. Towards the end of the year, the stress still remains and the face of determination has been formed. And thats how I'm entering 2008. If I want to make a change this year I have to grab it by its horn with my own bare hands and pull it out. Like John Cena says "The time is NOW!"
