Here we are, 11:30ish pm and 2012 staring me in the (tired and heavy) eyes. So much has changed with how I am ringing in 2012 this year, compared to last year. 2011 started out with me still dealing with the pain of a break-up and not knowing what to do. I spent New Year's Eve last year getting drunk at my apartment alone until my friend came over and we played drunken board games. We then did the drunken hook-up thing. Way to ring in the new year with a bang...
I was hanging out with a different chick that I knew was trouble, and sure enough, proved it over and over again. I was practically stalked by this nutcase... Its unproven, but I think she is responsible for smashing my roommate's truck's window (after mistakenly smashing HIS window and not mine)...
I started to spend more and more time with a girl I kinda knew beginning at the halfway point of the year. It has progressively turned into what, I guess, you could call a relationship. We've met each other's families. Mine loves her and I'm pretty sure hers thinks I'm ok...
I have completely stopped drinking, and I now find myself over four months sober and I haven't really looked back. It has gotten easier and easier to stay away from the beer and booze that had been my crutch for so long. I have moved my addiction to something else: exercise...
I started to run and progressively moved into cycling. I bought myself a Specialized road bike and have REALLY gotten into this sport. I ride about 4 times a week, about 20-25 miles a ride. I am training for a triathlon, but have found I get the most joy out of the cycling and am starting to look into solely cycling events, as well. I have never been happier with how I look than I am right now, although, you won't see me walking around without a shirt on just yet...
I am looking forward to the possibilities and opportunities that await me in 2012, and I am excited to face any and all challenges! Lets go, 2012... Try your best!
