How was your year for 2008?

For me, It was pretty good/great. I switched careers and love my job. I had a really good year job wise. I finally moved from ten plus years of being an Admin to something I really excell at. No we didn't have any holiday party and yes my boss can be a tool, but all in all in a very good place.

My solo music added two wonderful ladies and now we are a trio. They have pushed my music in ways that I never would have. Thi is the best musical collaboration I have experienced. Not only that, but I have made friends with 2 very special people I hope to be friends with for the rest of my life.

And Barak was voted as our next president. Not that I wouldn't have minded Hilary, but I can feel a positive change is coming to our nation and I think we are already seeing that.

So I think it was pretty good for me. How about you?

The bad:
* lost our house to the bank
* had to move
* credit scores took a bad hit

The good:
* now living in a nice townhouse
* now have extra money from our paychecks after all the bills are paid
* the stress is gone!

So, started out bad but ended up pretty good.

That's cool. Having bought a condo 3 years ago I can relate. While I like living there, and don't want to lose it, it has been such a huge increase in my bills that part of me wouldn't mind losing it & renting again.

It was good, great, bad AND meh

This year has been a very emotional one for me.

It started out bad b/c my ex and I were going through a divorce and a custody battle.

It has slowly gotten better after that. I was able to continue raising my kids. I moved home to be with my family. I started back to school. I met someone really amazing.

The year certainly is ending much happier than when it began. I expect that 2009 will be even better.

this year totally sucked ass.






























a big fat BEAUTIFUL ass!!

Definitely

it was mostly terrible till about september. then it got good for like a month. then it sucked again.

if 2009 isn't any better by march i'm going back to 1995.

Bad, and I think 2009 will be bad as well

It was an awful year for me. I hope the new one will be better .

This year was tough, but there were too many fun moments to say it was a bad year. I'll just say it was the best of times and the worst of times, and leave it at that.

It was a year of ups, downs, and transitions.

My band broke up just last night, but as there was already a more desirable project underway that turned out to be a piece of good news. I will miss playing with the old band, but the new situation is one I have hoped for for a long time.

The difficult part is that transitions usually cost money, and 2008 was probably my most expensive year ever. But with transitions come hope & excitement.

2008 was a scary year, a mixed blessing, and ultimately so good it hurts.

I'm blessed.

But beyond your anonymous sex encounters in the park, how was it?

Andrew!!

On the professional end, it started out mediocre and ended horribly.

From the personal side, it started out mediocre and ended beautifully. The horribleness that I have (and continue) to endure professionally has been made somewhat more bearable by realizing what wonderful and true friends I have.

Hope things get better.

Definitely meh for me.

It was the year of reconstruction, and I got nearly every aspect of my life back on track and rocking. It wasn't great, good, or bad, etc....it was the year I did what needed to be done, and for that I am satisfied.

2008 was an awesome year for me. I was blessed beyond my wildest dreams.

It was all over the place for me. Good, bad and the ugly Joining the speaking group in the beginning of the year was one of the best chapters of my life. Can't wait to manifest and bring things to life in 09 and beyond. Love you all Well almost all

This has actually been a great year - too bad no new, real Prince album. But other than that, this is a year to make the history books both in my life and the world's.

Can I go back to 2004?

No, wait. I have this feeling that 2009 is going to be amessing

It has had it's bad moments: I fell out of love with someone, I had to cut some relationships loose, etc., but overall I am incredibly fortunate and am counting my blessings every minute.

I'm entering 2009 debt free. I never thought money would make me happy but god damn if I can wipe this smile off my face!!!

Pretty damn good...did not want it to end in some ways but ready to move on in others.

Cheers...

Happy New Year!

it better be.

I'm fucking 19! FUCKING 19!!! Damn! I wish I was still on the edge of 17. Nothing like it. I could still say I'm a teen, rightfully. Now I'm a grown ass man being reduced to such sprawling circumstances. How jarring! I know I don't have it bad, but this shit reeks!

Well 2008 treated me really well professionally, and personally, but romatically it sucked big time. I became a first time home owner (and I'm still lovin' my brand new townhouse!!!! Yeah!!!), I was offered a job after months of looking and in danger of getting laid off in March of '09 (I start my new job on Jan. 5th!!!! Double yeah!!!), but romantically wise, I ended an on again and off again relationship with someone I considered to be my soulmate, but have to come to terms in realizing that he's not...and though it hurts, the stress put on my from the relationship is gone. So I guess as Sinatra said, "The Best is Yet to Come"...especially in '09. I pray that its true.

financially tough, emotionally fulfilling...

Happy '09 errrybody

I could easily complain, but I won't.

The good: Everyone is happy. I like happy.
