i remember having the feeling somewhere around november that this would be a extremely eventful year for me, and i was right... it started off eventful and in a rush and over the course of this past year a lot of "bad" things have happened to me or have taken place in my life...

im a pessimist (frequent readers know this) but im somewhat of a recovering pessimist... a natural pessimist trying to change my ways or at least push the "bad" aside and try to see the good...

at the risk of sounding cheesy and sentimintal, here are some of the good things that have happened over the course of this past year...
