Good riddance to '09
Hmmm, it's nearly 2 in the morning on a Monday. Of course I'm writing a blog. :)
I just wrapped up another weekend with BBE...burgers, True Blood Season 1, and lots of naps. In other words, it was awesome.
So since I was temporarily in good spirits, I figured I'd give my year-end wrap-up post another shot. And what better way to wrap things up than by looking at this year's posts and all they had to reveal. What will we remember most from 2009? What did I manage to preserve here for the Internet Archives?
A lot of what we'll all remember about 2009: not a lot of fun. :(
Irony is a cruel, cruel, thing. How? Take my quote from the beginning of 2009:
I'm sure that 2009 will shape up to be a huge year, just like 2008 was. But for all our sakes, I hope it's a huge year in that "OMG so many awesome things have happened and things are getting better for once" way and not in the "OMG everything is going to hell in a handbasket and it's only going to get more disastrous" way that we all felt in 2008 (Election Day excluded).
All we have left going into this year is optimism. If we all decide that things have no direction to go but up, things will get better, right? Sadly, that's not the case. But we can all do our best to keep a stiff upper lip and look on the bright side.
Ouch.
Better luck with that next year.
2009 dealt us a mostly shitty hand, to be perfectly honest. The past decade (of which I have been blogging for 8 years?!?) hasn't been too kind either. We all know that.
But even as we left 2008 with a hope that 2009 would be better, we know that 2010 will be better.
At least, I know that it will be better. It just will be.
The few bright spots in my year this year were big ones. Good ones. Things that have set the stage for a better year ahead. It might not happen right away, but it will. I at least believe that much.
I can't wait. :)
