Review Your Year!

[Lunar_Wolf]

2010 is quickly coming to an end, meaning a new year/chapter/era or whatever you may call it, is dawning on us. Let's individually take a look back on the past year by sharing your own review on it. The thrills, the spills, the accomplishments, the disappointments and the harsh times, share it all!


My review:


This has actually been one of the best years of my life. Lots of significant things happened. I moved out, got into a relationship with a great girl, wrote my script and I'm moving forward to film it, sister became pregnant, made new friends, got to travel to Paris and over-came my fear of roller coasters.

I can't say alot of bad things happened, just one major thing did, a guy I used to work with at a Cinema, killed himself. I didn't talk to him for a couple of years, but I still went to the funeral with other former and current employees.

Other than that, personally, I wish I would've gotten into shape, but I had no time for it, so I'm kinda bummed I put on weight, but I get to loose that fat soon. When I don't feel right, I love working out and getting back into shape.

Overall, great year, and I just hope 2011 is the same, minus deaths of people I know.

2010 -
I guess the biggest difference I had at the beginning of the year was that I started to develop huge muscles.

I was pretty much a loner during the first few months of the year, focusing on getting in better shape.

I dated one guy, he turned out to be a huge ****e and a loser, dumped him, then started dating on of his former employees, and have been dating him since May.

I worked almost everyday over the summer, and became amazingly good friends with everyone there, and now have a good group of friends and an amazing boyfriend.

I think that helped me this semester, because I had the best grades I've ever had during college (two A's and two B's) and I actually worked my ass off.

During the fall, two kids from my high school graduating class killed themselves, they're the first two to die from my graduating class.

So, I guess the year ends on a high note.

My goals for 2011 are to get in better shape and get good grades (which is harder than you might think).

It was a frustrating year up until August. I applied for grad school and didnt get any sort of answer at all until a few weeks before classes started. I only took one class, and despite being out of college for five years, I managed to score a 96%. Its expensive as all hell, but I'm managing to pay back my dad for tuition. Work has been the usual. Repetitive and unfulfilling but I need it to pay for school. I find myself in the odd situation of needing my job so I can get rid of my job.

Dad, brother and I took a Mediterranean cruise in April and were almost stranded due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland. We took a chance and were one of the first flights from Europe back to the US. The cruise was nice, even if it was not as good as I hoped. Some of the destination sites were disappointing (Corfu, Greece; Valletta, Malta), some were awesome (Pompeii, Dubrovnik, Croatia and Venice). Some old broads needed to learn that they were 70 and 80 years old and not 21 any more. That irritated the hell out of me but besides that the fellow passengers were cool.

I love me some Venice!

I love me some Venice!

I kind of wish we could have seen more of the city, instead we kind of got abandoned by the shopping area near the big clock tower. Everywhere we stopped in the Mediterranean, they stopped us by the souvenir stands. We got the picture pretty quickly.

 

[Sundancer]

I spent a good chunk of it at my job and grad school, working on my writing when I could.


Another lonely year.

 

[Schlosser85]

Very early this year I lost the only job I've actually enjoyed, and spent most of the rest of it trying to find one.

I still really wish I had my old job, so that sucks.

On the other hand, my ex and I have moved into a zone where we both feel closer and healthier than we ever did when we were dating, and that is very important to me.

I had a one-night stand (which is very uncharacteristic for me) with one of our mutual friends whom I have been attracted to for quite some time, but I can't help but wonder if I screwed up any chance for anything coming of it by the way I handled the aftermath. I still feel frustrated a lot of the time I'm around him and wonder if I could have gotten more out of it.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

This year has been a mixed bag for me,there is nothing from it that I am really proud of. I'm not hoping for the next year to be better by alot,this year was the year where I was made to read a certain book that was broken down,or not. A funless,obtuse,and superficial book. Hopefully there are 27 left for me to read.

My favorite parts of the year were certain Green Lantern leaks in connection to the movie, and the birth of my sister's second son.

 

[BizarroAids]

2010 wasn't that bad for me. I've moved 3 times in less than 10 months. Hopefully 2011 will allow my job to keep me in one place.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

It wasn't a bad year, but I seem to be getting worse in certain aspects of my life.

 

[Firm18]

2010 was probably one of the worst years in my life. It begun with my 2 years old dog dying because of he got poisoned, no body knows how. One month after that my guinea pig died. I know how this may sound, but I still have got 2 dogs and my brother has a guinea pig and we all take perfect care of the animals. We pay attention to what we are doing and etc.

I had my high school exams and I finished high school with excellent results, graduating. I went into uni but the course I chose is really difficult and so many factors make me hate it, I have been depressed for 3 months after starting that course and if I'm going to change it I need to start the course next year.

I found a girlfriend, we had great time but after 4 months she said she doesn't know if she made the right choice, since she still had feelings for ex. So we broke up. After a month she told me she knows she wants to be with me, but I told her to leave me alone.

I've been working on my music and my art and stuff like that.

I don't want to go into detail on a public forum, but 2010 started off really bad and got worse. By late August/early September I was seriously contemplating going on a rampage that would most likely have ended with me getting killed.

All of a sudden, things really turned around in September. I'm in a really good place right now financially/physically/mentally. I also have time to pursue some projects I've always been interested in.

 

[Marx]

I don't really like to go into too much detail about personal things on the forum, but this year has been nothing but stressful. My older brother was nearly killed in an armed robbery a few months ago. (Thankfully, he made it.)

My hours at work have been cut back due to the economy, and it looks to be permanent.

...and I am still single.

I am desperately hoping for a 2011 that sees myself and everyone I know happy and healthy.

2010 isn't over yet. It's been a good year for me.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Well 2010 started with my coat getting stolen that contained my camera and iPod at the bar I spent New Year's Eve at and will be ending with me going to one of my earliest friend's mother's funeral tomorrow with a lot of crap in between. Most of the good things in my life this year have come from persevering through the bad. Like others I don't like getting into too much personal information on the forum, but the review of 2010 has been some great things have happened, but for the most part the bad has overshadowed it. The bad has really been things out of my control, which is really frustrating. Overall life is getting better, trying my damnedest to counter the bad and things seem to be turning around. Hoping the universe finds another punching bag in 2010, I'm totally over it.

Well, I started off the the year by moving into a new house (the one I currently live in) and it got kinda weird after that. A couple weeks after, I lost my job and spent the next couple months unemployed and partying a lot. I turned 25 in March and had a bit of a mental breakdown because I was hitting a milestone birthday (25 is milestone, right?) and had absolutely nothing to show for it. After that, things started to go waaaay up. I got a job doing construction (nothing glamorous, but it was decent money) and signed on for my first mma fight.

In May, I quit my construction job to go work at the gym I train at full time. The beginning of June, me, a couple of teammates and our coach took a trip to LA to go compete in the World Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament (just me and my teammates, our coach was there to coach us). None of us won but it was still the best weekend of my life. It was my first time being to LA, my first time seeing the ocean, we went to the Spike Guys' Choice Awards where we got to sit at the same table as Randy Couture and he gave me advice on my upcoming fight, the next day we were on the red carpet for the MTV Movie Awards (one of our good friends works for Gotham Casting and hooked all that up for us. She's awesome.), we partied with the band 'Boys Like Girls' who thought we were the coolest people ever and just had a blast the whole weekend.

3 weeks later, I had my first mma fight which I won by TKO (ground & pound) in 2:48 into the first round. My dad came down to visit for my fight and acted genuinely proud of me for I think the first time ever. Gene Hackman was also at my fight, cheering me on lol. Early in the summer, he started doing private training with my coach (and since then, quite a bit with me) and is really big fight fan so he came to watch me fight.

2 weeks after my fight, I went to Phoenix and got certified to be a CrossFit instructor so now I can teach at my gym as well. OH! And one week after my fight, I finally got a tooth replaced that has been missing since I was 18. That was a pretty huge thing for me.

After that, things were just pretty steady every day stuff. Also, this year has gotten me more women than ever before, so that's pretty cool too lol. All in all, I think I can say this has definitely been the best/most productive year ever. Really looking forward to 2011

 

[JStorm]

Weird year was weird.

First part of the year, January to April, thought I had **** figured out, world came down Mid-April. I spent the next six months trying to re-trace my life and get **** in order. Now I've found myself back in Athens, working for/with my brother, dating the one girl I NEVER thought would come back, and getting into Business school at UGA at the age of 30.

 

[Silvermoth]

I had a wonderful year!

I started off unable to find work, unable to get myself out of a depression, just unable in general. I felt like a burden on everyone.

Over the course of the year, I achieved every one of my dreams. I attained the perfect job (just a year and a half of unemployment to get there after uni), I travelled and fell in love with Europe in particular London and I felt like a very independent person again with a purpose again .

I hope 2011 is as good as 2010 or at least much better than 2009 which was horrible.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

It wasn't until now that I realized I have smoked a lot of marijuana this year.

 

[.Rorschach.]

Jan-Feb were good..turned 26 March I got a Hernia which put me out of work for a month.Was let go due to Hernia.Unemployed till August.Cousin overdosed in October.His Father died last year due to Brain Cancer.Worked at an Italian place till I moved up to Maine in December.Hoping next year has more work for me,and less deaths in the Family.

 

[Scourge2099]

My 2010 sucked a**. I won't get into a lot personal details like several other people have also said. A friend of mine died due to complications due to a heart attack about a month ago because of anger issues at the age of 30. I've been depressed ever since because I'm only 3 years younger than he is and I also have anger issues. Being told I have high blood pressure doesn't help matters. A bunch of other s*** has happened too that I'd rather not post.

 

[.Rorschach.]

Hope next year is better for you Scourge2009

 

[Scourge2099]

Thanks rorschach , me too.

2010 was a pretty good year for me. Nothing really bad happened and in September I went on a cruise for my 5th year anniversary and proposed to my now fiance. Went to three weddings, two friends and my supervisor's and had a good Christmas with my family. It also wasn't too bad in regards to movies released this year.

The only bad thing I can think of that happened was one of my younger sister's moved to Florida(we live in CA)with my two year old nephew. For the first time I'm an uncle and my nephew gets taken away. Was bitter for quite sometime, will have to fly over there in the near future. Got to love Skype though.

 

[PyroChamber]

More of a rant than a review, 2010 was eh.

I spent 90% of the year at work. While the other 10% was spent taking BP meds and trying to save money by not going out.

I finally did have a friend to hang with, an asian hipster chick from San Fran, but she left during the summer because most of the people she'd met in Chicago weren't as cool as her.

All while working with people who think I'm some ticking timebomb just because I'm not social. And of course another year without a girlfriend.

I think the only good things I've gotten out of this year were mostly material things: a HD TV, a blu-ray player, and a bass guitar.
