Wow. Two Thousand Eight... Gone. Done. Another year in the past. It's kind of crazy looking back on it. So much happened. So many adventures. So many things that were typical Me and so many more that we not.
It started off with a New Year's Eve bash in Gainesville with the reuniting of the Triumvirate of Cool and never really slowed down.
Lots of random women throughout the year...
Wait.
That didn't come out right.
Not at all.
First off, by "lots" I really mean two. But that's a lot for me.... And by "random" I mean... well, ok. They were both random.
In the beginning of the year I started talking to a fellow bby'er up in North FL. She found me on Myspace through a friend of a friend of a friend or something like that... turns out we had emailed back and forth through work about a dozen times prior. I think she stalked me to myspace. :) Either way, it was fun... Still is, but in a different way. Back then we were both hardcore flirts.... now? she's engaged. :) heh... strange days, my friends... strange days....
While we're still on the begining of the year, I suppose I should mention my accident. It definitely changed the course of my entire life.
Well, maybe.... maybe not.
Either way, it was an experience.
I broke both my wrists playing basketball. It sucked. I mean, it was fun dunking the basketball (on a 9 foot rim) and for the rest of my life I've got a great story... but actually having two broken arms was a pain in the... well... arms. So, I broke them on a Sunday night... went to the ER... was told only one was broken and I should see a surgeon first thing in the morning. Only there was a slight problem. The Mets were playing the Marlins in Miami's home opener the next day and I had tickets. No way I was missing that. I had my friend drive me down to the game (he had a ticket and was already planning on coming so it's not like I just had him chaeuffer me to Miami and back... he was going anyways). I remember the game, but vaguely. I was popping Vicatin like they were tic-tacs. Went to see the specialist on Tuesday morning, found out both wrists were broken and one needed surgery. Got sliced that night and became a Bionic Man. Took 2 Wednesday and Thursday off work, then went back in on Friday. Grrr... me tough man... grr....
Anyways... that lead to many smaller adventures over the following weeks... I will spare you the details, but just know that I had a good time in spite of the pain. I even started bowling again, with the broken wrists. Probably not the smartest move... but I suppose I'm not the smartest guy, so it's ok.
The summer of 2008 brought ProjectCali... a week-long trip to San Diego to visit Bordo Baggins when he moved out there.
Good times... Good beer.. Good friends....
Can't wait to go back!
That was really the highlight of the summer. I'm sure I did other stuff, I just can't think of what that stuff may have been.
Then came the fall...
That's when things got interesting.... again.
I lost my fish.... and got a replacement as a gift. That was in early October. That fish was given to me by none other than Batgirl. I just happened to send her a message one day on Facebook, even though we hadn't talked in over ten years and, really, we were never more than acquaintances. In fact, all she even remembered of me was that she thought I was a nice guy... a bit snobbish, but nice. Can you believe that? She thought I was a snob in high school.... I can't believe that... but that's what she thought. To be fair, though, I had her confused for somebody else in elementary school. Turns out she didn't even go to my elementary school. Anyways...
We've talked just about every day since.
Just before Christmas we went on our first date.
I gotsta say... Best First Date Ever. That's all I'm going to say.... but it had to be said.
Just before the new year, I had another first date. It was fun and all... but noone compares to Batgirl. If she were to call me right now and ask me to run away with her, I would finish my load of laundry that's going right now, pack my bags and be on the next plane to Anywhere.
So that was Last Year In A Nutshell.
It kinda makes me wonder what Two Thousand Nine will have in store for me...
