2009

2009 has been one of the worst years i can remember. not much good happened, but i will now reflect on the good and bad.

the good: the many trips i took. i got to go to chicago for the first time and see the cubs and brand new play. i got to see them 2 consecutive nights which was a first for me. i went camping with the rth crew organized by mr. john walsh. that was probably one of the most fun and drunken trips, although chicago has plenty more stories. i also went to cleveland which was another first, to see the browns raiders and it has its special meanings but hands down chicago was the best. i also got to go back to hessel for consecutive years which has been a while. i branched off of friends like bowditch and met more of his friends and became close with them. i also became better friends than i could ever imagine with damie javis. i got to see my niece turn one and get to watch her grow up. finally i moved into a place by myself. i could not be happier with my choice of residence and the way i chose to decorate it. i also got a tattoo that i have wanted since my dad passed on. it takes up the majority of my left leg and i love it.

now onto the bad: we can start at the beginning, 2009 was rang in with my now ex gf and other friends in an awkward fashion. i can now reflect that it was a minor omen in my future of 2009. i also was broken up with, and looking back i handled it wrong and certain things made that situation worse than what it should have been. my biggest thing is i met a lot of fun people through her and i rarely talk to them anymore. but i guess that is what happens. i have had to switch back and forth between jobs. cabelas then radioshack then back to cabelas. i was fired from radioshack for what i believe non-probable cause which can be debated forever. i have realized the value of money and without my mother helping me i would not be in the apartment that i am currently in. i also feel like i have grown apart from many whom i went to high school with. i know i see them whenever i come home but it is slightly different now. i mildly blame myself.

so what will 2010 bring me? going into 2009 i didn't have any goals i will not call them resolutions for the strict fact that these will be accomplished throughout the year. my first and foremost goal is to graduate. it has been 4 and a half years since i started and i will finish in may with a degree in political science. what will i do with it? fuck if i know. but i want to go to grad school to continue and get an mpa with a business administration certificate. i also want to find a job that will pay the bills more than what i am now. i want to pay off my major bills so that i do not have to screen my phone calls to see which bill collector is calling. i know many people say that they will lose weight, however i am determined to be a more healthy person in 2010. my reason for this? have u seen me lately ha. i will continue to see my niece and nephew as much as i can so that i can aide in their growing up and shaping of things. i also am extremely excited for the new davis baby to arrive in late february. hopefully i can be the uncle to him as my uncles were to me. it will be awesome to watch little davis grow up and he is my first friend with a baby coming. big changes lay ahead for rob or bob and i hope to see all of you there for those changes. cheers to 2010 and goodbye to 2009.
