the year that was 2006

having just restored my ability to blog (after a year's absence), i will now attempt to enlighten you in written form, with the intention of providing a transition between the posts below (2005) and the posts that i presume to eventually be posted above (2007 - whenever), by taking a look at what i did during 2006 when i wasn't blogging, which was (apparently) all the time.

maybe it was the constant job juggling (6 different jobs in a calendar year! my new record!), or the eternal quest for food (lowest income level since 1992!), but blogging was eventually replaced by myspace. i think mainly it was a desire for connection and friendship, because i was a lonely duck. so i was on it all the time.

now fast forward to earlier this week, when i realized how dumb and unnecessary it all was. AND I QUIT. so now maybe i'll have some time to blog every once in awhile.

because, when i really look at the year as a whole, 2006 pretty much sucked. i'm really glad it's 2007, because i look at the coming year and feel more hopeful – about almost everything – than i have in a long time. it will be filled with challenges i'm sure, but i'll probably want to write about it occasionally.

so the blog is back. happy new year.
