2006 Retrospective

Believe it or not, I got this survey from Ragan Fox.

End of the year meme

Was the year too fast or too long: Painfully slow.  I can't believe this year is finally over.

Major Events: going through three temp jobs in a year, long periods of unemployment, weight gain, my sister's marriage, getting assaulted, starting my podcast, becoming a Buddhist

Biggest accomplishments: Getting through the past seven months.

Biggest failure: Not having the balls to go after what I want.

Biggest regret: Taking a shortcut through a poorly-lit residential area by myself at 2 a.m.

Best memory: Marching in Pride. 

Worst memory: Calling McKenzie the morning after I was assaulted.

Most prideful moment: My 2-second performance in Flags of Our Fathers.

Most embarassing moment: The first two months of my podcast.

Number of people slept with:  I am a gentleman.

Started with a significant other: started what?

Ended with a significant other: what?

Ending the year with more money, or less: I never had money this year.

Best Friend: McKenzie.

Biggest Enemy: I didn't get their names.

Favorite TV Show: Veronica Mars, Heroes

Favorite Movie: Flags of Our Fathers because I was in it.  Holla.

Favorite Book: What Color Is Your Parachute?  Reading this book is going to lead to bigger and better things in 2007.

Concerts: I barely went to any this year.

Places Visited: I didn't really go anywhere this year.

Looking forward to in 2007: Reaching my goal weight, moving into an apartment (by myself) in Boystown, continuing my spiritual journey, dating, getting published, bringing my podcast to the next level, finding and pursuing my calling.

Dreading in 2007: Constantly having to push myself to do better.  The possibility of failure.  Turning 26.
