looking back at this year

2009 was a good year. In the beginning of the year i lost a good friend in a car accident, bless his soul. In the end of this year i ended up with more friends than i started with. I lost weight, stopped heavy drinking every night. Rode my bike to work and back, got interested in computers again.
I was not impacted by the credit meltdown because i don't have a mortgage or credit cards.
I stopped watching television and started watching downloaded movies and playing computer games. My roommate Haven asked if i wanted to go out to see a show so we all went to see live dubstep and i got hooked for life. Dupstep is crack, try it once and you fall in love. Overall my life has changed this year and for the better. No use thinking about what i could have done in my 20s or 30s, thats gone. I am thinking what i want to do now and there is many things to see and hear, taste, smell or feel. Or maybe even fuck.

I didn't take a vacation this year but in 2010 i'm planning to go to europe for three weeks. This timei'm thinking Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm and then the rest of the time in poland with my relatives. I did three days in Berlin last year so three days per city plus day travel time. I don't want to be on a vacation where i'm stressed for time. sometimes you can get more stressed on vacation than you can at work depending what you are trying to accomplish and what language you can speak.
