My Year In Review

Happy New Year guys. Well, its that time of the year again, the time to reflect on the past year ( I'm always reflecting, so much so, that if you hit me with a beam of light, it'd bounce back and blind you) and set goals for the new year (that you'll no doubt shirk and ultimately give up on...). Anyway, looking back on this past year for me... well, I'd have to say, its been a fairly eventful, but financially slow one. On the one hand, this year I went for about 7 or 8 plane rides (loads of fun by the way, and much thanks to my good friends at Holladay Aviation for many of them) and the purchase of not just the first, but also, my second vehicle (only 'cause I inadvertently destroyed the first one delivering pizzas). But this was also a year in which I went from a decent 40 to 60 hour/week job to a crappy 25 to 30 hour/week job delivering pizzas. I had 2 jobs at one point, but due to some unknown reasons, I no longer have that, and now I find myself in a constant bind. I also had to move from a fairly nice house to a poorly insulated single-wide trailer. I suppose I can't really bitch though, my mom went from the house, to living in her truck. This was also my first year going alone to the Jacksonville Car and Truck show, where, not hindered by anyone else's schedules, I stayed all day test driving cars I couldn't hope to afford anytime soon. In all, I guess it was an okay year, just, well, a little disappointing. Hopefully this year will be better, with luck, and more determination than previous, I'll finally force my way into the Navy, or maybe I'll catch that lucky break I've been looking for and come into the necessary funds to get a commercial pilot's license... so I can tow banners for Joel at Beach Banners, or fly middle class people around in cheap Cessnas (either one beats most any other job I can think of).
