A look back at 2007
I overdosed on blogs this week and noticed that everyone is summarising their 2007. Here’s mine.
Highs
- Finally moved away from my home town after only 35 years
- Increased my salary significantly – for a short time
- I had balls big enough to reject a ‘sensible’ career path
- Went to Glastonbury for the first time with highlights of The Who, Madness, Editors and Shirley Bassey!
- Met a lovely lady
- Made some new friends
- Became my own boss as a freelance webbie thing and haven’t yet had to promote myself
- Started writing a blog and realised how much I love it
- Discovered the only things I missed from home were my few close friends
- Quit psychotherapy
- Learnt more about the father I never really knew
- Joined Facebook with all its great connecting capabilities
Lows
- Mum’s craziness (and my own guilt) reached astronomic levels
- Lost a friend through my decision to reject corporate hell
- Struggled to make friends in a new city
- Flat sharing with an idiot
- Found some more ailments to add my steadily growing list
- London’s expensive and confusing transport system
- Joined Facebook with all it’s shitty pointlessness
Goals for 2008
- Get enough work to clear my debts and save some cash
- Have a decent holiday
- Start a fitness regime – morning runs are the first thing, from next week. Eeek!
- Get a better daily routine: earlier nights and earlier starts
- Spend less time on the computer
- Buy a decent camera and start experimenting
- Start drawing again
- Explore London and find some decent pubs!
If I manage to do even half of those I’ll be happy.
