Year In Review

So. 365 days of blogging. Who knew that would happen? So, time for meta-introspection.

The blog itself changed over time. Wrote at first about working out a lot. My knee injury which still aches at times (last Saturday during swing team aerials practice, for example). iTunes (oops, back up to 900 unranked music tracks...). Spirituality. And my relationship with a disappearing female friend.

I went through some journeys. Dated a friend of Friends. Got over Awkward girl. Got exposed to swing dancing and went completely overboard with it.

Ah screw this. Let's just look at the resolutions:

• continue to live healthy
  Doing very well. Knocking on the door of breaking out of the "Clydesdale" label.
  
  
• live my life with more thought about spirituality
  Meh. Been in and out of Quaker Meeting, been an infrequent visitor at the non-Institute class that the Remys invited me to. Meh.
  
  
• compete in a sprint triathlon
  Knee injury cured me of all running aspirations.
  
  
• complete a "Century" ride (100 miles)
  I rock! My first Century was a Cool Breeze
  
  
• take more pictures each week
  Not so much. And not so important-seeming.
  
  
• update this blog with consistency
  Hey, not a bad job. I don't think I've let it go quite for more than 10 days at a time or so. And almost 400 posts in the year? Good for me!
  
  
• increase my social circle
  Definitely did this. Through the Remys to parts of their social network, to swing dancing, swing teams (where I'd like to congratulate myself on being a social catalyst).
  
  
• contribute positively to the communities I belong to
  Not so much with the Quakers. Bit more with the dancers.
  
  
• take a vacation that requires an overnight stay
  Not so much.
  
  
• take positive steps towards finishing my degree
  Kind of. I took a math class last spring, but haven't followed up.
  
  
• write 5 minutes of stand-up comedy
  Not so much. And don't care so much.
  

And from August:

• Go On Casual Dates
  I did do this more in the latter part of the year, going on dates with, uh, three different women. And one of those has sprouted into a full-blown relationship. So I fell short of dating five different women, but that was an arbitrary goal compared to real-life.
  
  
• Be More Organized
  Not so much.
  
  
• Cycle
  Yeah, not in the latter half of the year. Darn.
  

Tomorrow, another year, another set of resolutions.
