36
so anyone who i've let into the inner workings of my brain knows that i felt that *something* would happen to me the year i turned 36. i never knew what it was, but with the way my life usually rolls, it was probably going to be something traumatic that would cause me to lose a limb or an eye or something.
now that i sit as the ass end of 2009, i gotta say that good karma really dislocated its jowls and vomited all it had on me this year. the biggest blessing, obviously,
came in the form of a response to a randomly placed craigslist ad that mentioned the word 'integrity'. that changed my life in ways i never would have imagined, and sweet jesus am i a zillion miles away from what i used to be. in a good way.
i climbed shit, i rode hard. cleared my first century and then some. i made stuff, experienced stuff, and ticked off a lot of stuff on that big list of 'things i really want to do but my head was too far up my ass to get motivated enough to do them'. this was such a good year that i can't even make the words for it. so, i retroactively declare 2009 as the war on bullshit. 2009, consider yourself pwn3d.
2010 is already almost planned with boog and i learning how to downhill, and D and i will hopefully be doing something in the spring that will open a shitload of doors for me to actively pursue things that i have been dying for. i am really looking forward to that. this summer is going to be exploding with a lot of good stuff.
to all 5 of you that still like to read entire paragraphs instead of 140 character snippets, have a great new year, and thanks for keeping me on.
