As the title states, I have now reached the 2-year anniversary of writing blogs on this site. As always, I have to pay homage to that “Cuteyoboy” who introduced me to this lovely site (two years ago on this day), but sadly I can’t say I talk to him anymore. Every now & then I’ll read his blog & for the most part it looks like he’s doing all right. Anyway, enough about him as this is my blog & since I FINALLY have a free moment this month, I figure I’ll take the opportunity to reflect on the year which was 2006 in a series of high points & low points (Many of which have been highlighted in earlier blogs).
HIGH POINTS:
1. Traveling: In 2006 I got to expand my travels & go to such places as Philadelphia, PA, New York City, & Delaware. In addition to that, I went on various camping/road trips to places such as Caledonia State Park & Lums Pond. Also, I can’t forget to mention the wonderful cabin trip my friends & I went to at Herrington Manor State Park
2. Friends: This year I had the opportunity to meet many new & exciting people & through these people I got to experience new things. In addition to the new friends, I had a lot more opportunities to hang out with my regular friends as well & attend their many CRAZY parties. (Quitting my job @ K-mart definitely freed up my weekends in which I could be social & hang out with my friends)
3. The Job: Although I was having a very difficult time at first & was at a point where I wanted to just quit, but I stuck it out & I slowly but surely started to learn the job & learned the job well. I’ve made a complete turnaround & I’m now actually starting to like the job. Who would’ve thought?
4. RENT: One can definitely see the influence this musical has on me (look @ the title of this blog LOL). Earlier this year, I got to finally see it live & it was magnificent. Although it didn’t star the Broadway actors I had grown accustomed to in the movie & the soundtrack, the actors were amazing & I still loved the play nonetheless. (Thanks for the invite Nick!)
5. Significant Other: Although I’ve talked to him for a while, it wasn’t until this year that he & I got the chance to meet, but he was well worth the wait. Since our meeting we have become GREAT friends/lovers & I look forward to our weekends together. Many of the wonderful traveling adventures mentioned above were with his company & I hope to continue going on many more adventures with him.
LOW POINTS:
1. Abercrombie Boy: You’d think I was living every gay man’s dream, but earlier this year (WAY before meeting my bf & before “A” for that matter) I’d meet this HOT Abercrombie boy online. He worked at the Abercrombie & Fitch at my local Mall & he looked like he came right out the pages of one of the store’s infamous catalogs. Although I knew he was totally shallow, lacked a LOT in the intelligence department, & was only interested in a hook up, I thought with my other head & decided to hang out with him. The date mainly consisted of he & I going back to my place where he wanted me to f**k him, but I just could not bring myself to do it & he was shown the door. Afterwards I felt so ashamed with myself for being so cheap, but I guess the redeeming factor is that I didn’t got through with it & I’d learn that there has to be some substance/intelligence in addition to style in order for me to find a person attractive.
2. Don Dwyer: Sadly, he got reelected by a margin of only 25 votes & that means I’ll have to listen to another 2 to 4 years of his anti-gay propaganda.
3. Money: This year it seemed like I’ve spent MUCH more than what I’ve saved & I’m nowhere near my goal of being able to afford going back to school & learning to cut hair.
Well, I think that concludes my high points & Low points for the past 525,600 minutes. Luckily, my high points outnumber my low points. For the most part 2006 was a pretty good year & it’s still not over as today is only 12/26/06 (I definitely intend to make the most of this week & weekend). All in all, I look forward to 2007 & writing another 525,600 minutes worth of blogs.
