A lil bit of Retrospect....now that 2007 has gone by.

So this years been an interesting year. Suddenly when you come to the end of it your wondering how you got to the end so soon. When I think about things that happened exactly around this time last year, it still seems pretty fresh in my memory, so much so that I can say without using it as an excuse that this year went by pretty quick. I’ve heard this from other people as well and time does seem to be moving by exceptionally fast these days.

Anyways, hmmm… anyways I had a quiet new years last year wasn’t anything I’d deem as one of those new years to remember. But it brought in the year pretty much like it usually did and I found the days rolling by simply because there doesn’t seem anything uncommon to remember for the first half of the year. Except for the fact that I started realizing pretty late in the day that there needed things to be done in a time I don’t think I was ready enough to start preparing for. It’s getting quiet and I think I’m starting to like it. Needless to say it’s not like I really have very many options but maybe that’s what I guess I’m starting to like. Oh wait, there was a wedding I remember attending which was pretty eventful. . I do remember having a pretty good time considering there was plenty of alcohol involved and that seemed like a priority at that point moving into when I made a trip to Bombay. Bombay was a bit of a highlight and a bit of a defining moment as well which lasted a couple of months into coming back and then of course came England. So yeah a lot did happen pretty soon this year. I’m not getting into what were positive and negative defining moments with those trips but lets just say there was a bit of both.

All of which have left me in retrospect at this point because you really can’t change a lot of things that were said and done but have nevertheless happened and have a consequence about what probably lies ahead. But I’m hoping and beginning to think that starting to think about what could possibly lie ahead is something that I could and should probably start to take control of. Something I pretty much didn’t do through the year.

So I guess whoever says whatever happens, happens for the best is actually full of shit.

The General was down for 2 months and we had some pretty wild times. I think a lot of memories will definitely go down there but that’s what usually happens whenever we get together, so I can really say its unexpected. I ended up meeting 4 people from school for the first time in 6 years so I guess some numbers are improving. I actually ended up meeting an ex for an entire day in London considering the odds of us ever being in the same city always seems pretty much slim to none. But I guess meeting her brought back memories of feelings I went through when we split up which till date maintains an all time record high on the “How depressed I’ve ever gotten” chart. No but seriously, nobody likes to remember how much pain they’ve been in. It happens when you start to revolve your whole life around that person and you realize she's not the 'one'. What goes around most definitely comes around ;). I did however meet an another ex from school which was really pleasant. Which is ironic by the way considering I had put her in that very same situation at one point in time. Coincidence? I’ve stopped analyzing these things…

She did however take a photo of me and said it would make a pleasant memory, but I know that she knows the pleasant bit doesn’t go very far.

England was lovely. Mostly surreal for the most bit. I finally made it out to see my sister and nephew and visit of one my best friend’s ‘machismo’. We had a crazy ass time together and that was one of the highlights of the trip and my nephews first birthday. I made a pretty interesting impression on some of my colleagues in Sandwich. I think if I make an attempt to keep in touch with someone I could actually make some significant friends and people I could carry whilst I move along what’s to come ahead. I think a lot of what I do this year will tell me where I actually stand and evaluate what I actually want. It could actually be a lot more defining if the important bits I want to happen do take place. We’ll have to give that a shot this year.

Although I would like to think I’ve been underground this year I don’t really think I have been, probably not as much as I actually imagine myself to be this year.

But this years going to be different and I sure as hell will have something positive to write about once I get to the end of it….
