2008 in review
The amount of goodwill I abused in 2008 was staggering. from to the second to the very last day. If karma runs true, I have quite a bit coming in for me. Have to sort this out.
It was also a reckless year. Not in the life-is-short-so-I'll-do-whatever-I-want kind of reckless, but in the my-life-is-a-mess-but-I-don't-give-a-fuck kind of reckless.
I spent a large part of the year moping in self-induced misery and hesitant over my choices. and as I sought advice on what to do with my life, I realised that the answers will really have to come from within, but kept and will keep asking the questions anyway.
I met some amazing people.
You have no idea what kind of blow I am dealt when I meet people who misinterpret my attempts at humour. So people who understand me are amazing people.
I was relieved to find I missed the house.
I am ashamed to have heard this more than once, 'You have to understand what you are doing,' A year ago, I would never have to have that said to me. Not more than once, anyway.
My tutors are awesome, period. Also amazing people.
Bought a Grammy Nominees compilation lately, something from a decade back,
Vying for Record of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Male Pop Performance in 1999 were these songs,
Record of the Year - The Boy is Mine, My Heart Will Go On, Iris, Ray of Light, You're Still the One,
Best New Artist - Everybody (Backstreet's Back), Amor Ti Vieta, Wide Open Spaces, Doo Wop (That Thing), Torn
Best Male Pop Performance - Save Tonight, My Father's Eyes, Anytime, Lullaby, You Were Meant for Me
Throwback to even earlier times: I miss the days of listening to 'When the Saints Go Marching In' on the My First Encyclopedia, playing MindMaze on that Windows 95 machine (or was it Win98?). Life was as easy as skipping thru the entries; if I didn't like some topic, I simply saved it for another day, maybe never.
Am going home now, after a freezing night in school.
I am still bitter over having screwed up the first sem
