Review of 2008, Looking Forward to 2009

By Christian Little • Dec 29th, 2008 • Category: Miscellaneous

Hey it’s been a whole 2 weeks since I posted, the sky must be falling! Nah, I’ve just been super busy like the rest of you. Having a family, working a full time job, working on a thesis project, attending graudate school, and dealing with the usual holiday stuff has basically grinding my posting to a hault (which I expected it to). This blog will be back in full swing in January when things settle down.

So here is a recap of my life for 2008:

  • 4,000 blog comment spam
  • 4.5 deaths (4 humans, 1 dog):
    • Colin Main – a good friend for over 15 years
    • Bill Morenz – my sister’s father and close family friend
    • Julius Nicklom – my grandfather
    • Karen McCrae – a close friend I’ve known for almost 20 years
    • Footlong – my parents dashound that we’ve had since I was a kid
  • 2 different jobs, the second I’m very happy with and will probably spend the next few years here
  • 10lbs lost (about 60 more to go! lol)
  • 1 minor surgery to remove a small lump from my arm
  • Getting my debt under control with the help of our bank before the recession really hit Canada
  • I sold off my of my unused domains finally! At the start of the year I had around 400, today I’m down to about 40 (most of them are in use). That saved a lot of money.
  • 1 car accident (I backed into somebody that was riding my bumper at an intersection the other day)
  • 30,000 unique visitors to this blog
  • 1 World of Warcraft account reactived. I managed to resist for a while, but unfortunately I’m back in that stupid game….grrr….
  • Discovering that my dog is epileptic (yes, she has seizures!).

Biggest regret of 2008: Not spending nearly enough time with my family

Plans for 2009:

  • Finish my MBA (Dec 2009)
  • Get my physics journal/publication (my thesis project) to generate $2500/month in revenue
  • Spend more time with the family
  • Get one World of Warcraft character to level 70 (probably my Warlock since they are stupidily OP right now)
  • Buy my wife something shiny, it’s been a while since I’ve done that
  • Play with my Wii Lightsaber that I got for Xmas

I hope you all have a very Happy New Year! This blog will be back to it’s usual posting of 2-3x per week starting in January. Until then, have a very Happy Holidays!

  2. Hi
    Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing. Also Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. I wish the very best of luck. May GOD be with you in all aspects. You have a bright career.
