Ummm I guess I should do my second annual year end post ….. for some reason I felt like I had to write one up for 2010 …. I guess it was a good year …. ha .. because I sure as hell don’t feel like writing about 2011.
Naw .. I will lol.
I don’t really know what to say about it … I had a few resolutions … I accomplished all of them … except moving .. I discovered the beauty that is Sunrise Park (2 blocks away) during the Summer ….. actually I went to chill on the bleachers a couple of days ago… it’s been a dry Autumn … finally just started to rain yesterday. I bought a patio set … so delicious … I cannot count on my fingers and toes how many nights I stayed out there admiring at the moon on clear nights ….. Can’t wait to get good use of it next year
. Another resolution was going to more concerts ….. I don’t think I went to any this year … of course I’m kind of straight west coastin’ right now … but I’m pretty sure I don’t think I did ….. I went to a handful of dance parties though … and I’m gonna see Prince tomorrow … which will be a concert/dance party .. wooo!!. ….. Ummm another resolution was go to kickboxing more often ….. I totally quit that a couple of months ago … I stopped going in the Spring lol. I got busy .. and had no energy after work … and when I did … it was a joke LOL – well .. I mean .. it’s definitely a workout and it felt delicious after … but all the chicks in there were such pansies …. it was basically a fashion show for their gym clothes … “Check me out while I take a break to catch my breath every 30 seconds between slapping the pad on the wall.” … and that’s not why I stopped going … because I found it kind of amusing lol but …. I just changed my eating habits and accomplished what I would have wanted to accomplish with kickboxing anyways … so another resolution out the window.
Umm what else? …. work … was interesting LOL – I remember being really stressed out about it earlier on in the year ….. but then it wasn’t too bad …. some changes happened around the summer time … and things went a little haywire for a little while ……. the smooth sailing had come to an end. lol – I don’t even remember why I was stressing … anyways …. if I was a sound wave being modulated by an ADSR envelope … I’d be in the sustain stage right now. Chillin ….. Might be the fact that it’s the holidays and that everything is just a little more relaxing … but, I think I might have just adapted.
The Godspot … I say that with a smile on my face … we had quite the year …. I lost count of how many shows we played … definitely in the double digits … we played at Scratch Records, The Railway, The Cobalt, Lana Lous … a backyard surprise B-Day party .. even a REALLY sketchy seedy place both under the bridge and on the wrong side of the tracks lol I’ll never forget that night…. We recorded an EP and put on a sweet Electric Kool Aid Party … the oil and water projector was AWESOME!! That night we played with a band named Hallow Moon …. oh my god .. most pretentious band EVER!!! … all of their fans looked like Russel Brand clones …. the drummer spoke with a British accent and he thought he was soooo coool … =\ … lol no, I’m sure they are nice fellows … I am sad to say though …. I am no longer in The Godspot … love those guys seriously, we had an adventure and a half this year.. but, I wanted to do my own stuff – …. which I’m hoping to focus on more come 2012….. I’m just letting 2011 finish me off for now …… – Good luck gentlemen!
This year … the boat got rocked (so to speak) … rogue wave attacks from all directions …. with a side of as many days of tanning as possible. Now, my tan is not as toasty as it once was … I’m thinking I might take a little weekend trip in January … I have a nice 4 days off I need to use by the end of the month anyways .. so .. I’m thinking I just might. Somewhere local … but it’s gotta be somewhere where I can replenish my tan lol …. Hmm Anaheim? … San Diego? …. Go Chargers? … baby blue is so 1999 … hmm Anaheim = Teemu Selanne … speaking of Hockey ….. I have not watched a game yet this season …… well, I’ve watched one … I’ve just been uninterested is all …. not like me … but I am not trippin’ – I have other things on the mind.
Also .. the Canucks kinda ruined my birthday this year …. by not winning the Stanley Cup …. schmucks!! …. naw I wasn’t expecting anything …. either way my birthday was spent safe in East Van away from the retards rioting downtown. Sure we lost … but how much fun was it getting to get to game 7 of the Finals? … That’s an accomplishment I say … yes I am one of those LOL … but yeah .. I just .. haven’t watched … I’ll get into it soon .. maybe :/ – I watched me some rugby matches for the first time … those gentlemen from the New Zealand team .. oh my! *fans herself* lol … anyways .. GOOOO JETS!!! Sanchez #1!
Last year I was all gung-ho about posting about the year that had just passed …. this year, not as gung-ho LOL … like, it wasn’t horrendous ….. there were definitely fun times had …. it definitely did test my endurance though. But, see that’s what makes life exciting I think … the ups, downs, sharp turns and all of the above.
Coincidentally, my Twitter ‘quote’ ‘quote’ of the day:
