Hey, what's going on everyone? It's been a couple days since my last blog (which was deleted for censor bypassing) and I was not too happy about that. Whatever though, I always thought putting **'s in words made them okay, but I guess not.

Anyways, this blog is going to highlight important events (and some not so important, but still had an impact) that occurred in the past year. I'll break things down into sections to make it easier to read.

Love/Relationship Life

-Dealt with my first (and last) long distance relationship

-Cheated on my girlfriend with 4 different girls (what she never knows, won't hurt her. I guess I'm not always such a nice guy after all.)

-Broke up with my girlfriend after 25 months of dating.

-Already have started dating around for girls since it is making me get over my ex a lot faster.

Academics

-Graduated High School (yay?)

-Started my first year of college, which I enjoy much more than high school.

-Earned an overall GPA of 3.5 my first semester. I was happy with that considering the little effort I gave.

Social Life

-Lost contact with a lot of my old friends from high school.

... Wait a second, I didn't have a social life... Ahem...

Gaming

-Met a lot of cool people over the PSN (Nav, Powerman, Dorkiie, Idaman, Chaos, etc). Pending: I met you in '07, that's why you weren't on the list. Cheer up lol.

Bought a lot of games:MGS4, Fallout 3, Resistance 2, GTA4, Dead Space, Army of Two, Uncharted, and Devil May Cry 4.

Miscellaneous

-Bought a whole bunch of stuff that I had been wanted for awhile. I already made a blog about them a few weeks ago so I will not mention them.

-Joined GameSpot (I guess?)

-This one is actually something I am very proud of: I used to only listen to Rap/Hip-Hop but had grown extremely bored with it after some of the crap that was passed off as music this year (I'm looking at you Flo-Rida. Man, I hate you). My good friend Pending from my PSN introduce me different types of music which I am still really enjoying. I have completely ditched Rap and moved on to bands like Disturbed, Scars of Broadway, Seether, and Mudvayne.

That pretty much wraps up my 2008. I am sure I missed some stuff and will possibly edit it when I remember more, but it seems like a good list to me as of now. It may sound like this blog is coming to an end, but it not. I have all of 2009 to talk about.

I guess you could calls these my "New Year's Resolution", but I prefer not to since I am actually going to do them (HA!). One is to start working out and lifting weights again. Since I am single again, I now have to actually care what I look like since in today's society, you're only as good as how good people think you are. I'm taking an extra unnecessary course this semester which is weight training, so I am forced to do it.

Another thing I am really going to push is to be more social with people. Instead burying myself in my basement playing games all the time, I am going to try to get out a lot more. I already even have plans to hang out with some girls next week when I'm not working. I guess you could call them dates since they are all girls I have had some sort of "more than friends" relations in the past, so I am interested to see how those go.

Anyone who is reading this that does what I did during '08, which was play games all the time and refuse to associate with people, you have to change your ways. It will get to you eventually. With all the stress I was dealing with between my crazy ex, school, and my job, I began to feel suicidal during the past few months. I nearly did it at one point and looking back on it I can't help but think how stupid I was being. The main reason for all my stress was because I was lonely, and I am not letting that happen to me this year.

Well here it is for my "resolutions". This was kind of 2 blogs mashed into one, but hey, it's my blog, I can do whatever I want (except cuss, since my last one was deleted). Plus, I'm going to be busy the next couple days and probably would never have gotten around to writing this. Well, thanks for reading. As always, leave some comments.

P.S. Anyone who posted on my last blog, I cannot thank you enough for the support everyone gave me. I really did help me out a lot. I can honestly say right now that I am happy with the way things are right now and I am glad I do not have that wretched girl ruining my life anymore. None of my real life friends cared enough to even talk about it with me so I'm glad you all gave me input on what you thought of the matter.
