So as this year has come to an end, i find myself appreciative of where ive ended up. 2009 definitely started off pretty god damn shitty. took me until summer to really start feeling ok about things. then the Hawaii Trip happened. and as much fun as that was, i think its even better than we have the Hawaii Video. its probably the same kinda thing as all the 48 Hours Behind the Scenes stuff. The competition weekends were always epic themselves, but sitting and watching the slideshows and BTS footage makes those weekends even more amazing, and something that will live on forever very vividly in our mind because we have such an awesome reminder (the 240 Hours Documentary).

After Hawaii, the rest of the year was pretty good. Not everything was smooth sailing, but i enjoyed myself a whole lot more than the first half. and now, starting off a new year, "i am in a good place". i kinda hate those words, but it does describe how i feel.

I have great friends. I have a healthy family. I have a job that i love. I still have passion for a million different things. 2010 is gonna be a good year. The start of a new decade. A new era, perhaps. I have rediscovered a drive and motivation i havent had in a couple years. I would like to try some new things. Push myself a little more. In art, in business, in health. And its nice feeling that I want to push myself because I will enjoy the processes, and not just the destinations. I want to pursue things I enjoy, and not just worry about the end result.

I hope that 2010 brings a new start for everyone. And if youre one of those lucky SOBs that just has everything you want, and love the shit out of your life so much that you dont want anything to change... well, i hate you, but i guess i hope your gold can stay.

Thanks to those of you who have made this year not only bearable, but enjoyable. <33

And to end this year off right, i leave you with the great Friendland adventure of Winter 2009...
