The year is over, and I’m ready for a NEW SENSATION!

I love blogging, especially when it gives me the opportunity to read some of my old posts and have a good laugh at what a stupid moron I am. Case in point: check out my new year’s eve post from a year ago:

Still, there’s something about the coming year that makes me think I may be in for something different this time. The number 8 is said to symbolize new beginnings, and man, after this awful stretch I’ve been in since the turn of the millennium, a new beginning sounds just like what the doctor ordered.

Here’s what I hope I’ll be able to accomplish in 2008:

1. Clear up my health problems and get strong again (vith ripplin’ mosscles to impress de vooomen.)
2. Generate a stable income of at least $1250 a month via my blog.
3. Get out of my dead end job and find a new career, whether it’s with another agency or by becoming self employed.
4. Move somewhere else, either out of state, or to nowhere in particular, depending on how successful I am in earning a living off the Internet.
5. Meet the girl of my dreams.

What in crap’s name was I smoking that day.

Yeah, I think it’s pretty much safe to say now that I have accomplished absolutely none of these things. In fact a month later my health got even worse, starting with my hands suddenly going numb, then my right foot, then my tongue. It was like somebody had poured Novocaine on parts of my body or something. Weirdest, most unsettling feeling ever too. Then flecks of blood would come out every time I blew my nose, and I started having weird breathing problems as well. Then I had a neck cramp, where if I turned my head slightly to the left, I would shriek like a 6 year old girl in pain, and man, that cramp stuck around for several months before it finally went away. Through it all I was always fatigued and completely without energy. It really killed whatever aspirations I had for the year, and yet for whatever reason I refused to see a doctor. I guess going through all that made me kind of give up on life in general, not to mention all the goals I had.

And then of course, the economy blew up in our faces and the Antichrist’s little mini-me won the election. Great year, huh?

So yeah, I’m very much glad that this sucky-mcducky suck-a-butt crapfest of a year is finally over. But in spite of all the major setbacks I experienced, I have the oddest feeling that 2009 is going to be the year that 2008 wasn’t. I’m finally planning to see a doctor in January to get myself tested every which way so I can find out what’s wrong with me, and force myself to get back on the path to being strong and healthy again. I also have something in the works to bring myself the traffic I need so I can finally earn money through this blog, and I’m also on an accelerated repayment plan to pay off my car loan and college loan, making me completely debt free by July. Once that happens I’ll be making plans to move as well. Maybe it won’t be out of state, but at least it will be far, far away from the awful memories of this evil town.

And then of course, there’s the event that made me truly believe that the girl of my dreams was real, and that she will be there waiting for me once I decide to stop being such a weenie.

So… 2009 will have to be the year that I man up for real. The world is after all in grave danger, and desperately needs a hero now more than ever. I for one am just studly enough for the job, ready to ride on my Black Stallion to save the day and get the girl, all to the tune of INXS, but of course.

Happy New Year!
