A question to ask yourself every morning...

[iMacZealot]

I was asking myself this question to myself today, which made me think of this thread, and I wanted to bring it back later so we can see what progress we've made.

So, Saturday, March 1, 2008. What was I doing 3.1.07......

I've started a new school, and I love it. I've learnt how to make friends much better and am essentially friends with everyone I know. I really look forward to waking up everyday, and that's something that didn't happen a year ago. I was very unhappy with my school last year.

On 2.27.07, I smashed my head into metal bleachers and had six stitches. No scar anymore.

I've learnt to accept responsibility and that only I can impact my life. I can't expect others to fix the situation for me. I think I also view me as happening to my life, not life happening to me.

..that's about it. How are you different from a year ago?

Funny that, was just thinking (after the postman had been) it was a year ago today I received a cheque for £18,000 from my new mortgage company, sadly this morning only £50 worth of Marks & Spencer vouchers from Sky for introducing a friend to Sky.

How am I different from a year ago. Well I'm married now, but feel no different, so guess that doesn't count. But I'm fitter than I was a year ago, cut down hugely on smoking and started to run twice a week.

Well, as long as we're being open on here.


One year ago I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I was killing myself trying to cram lines into my head for the school musical. I was doing very poorly in school. I chose friends based on things that weren't important. I fell in love and lost my virginity. I was a very "stuck-up?" person. I didn't know when enough was enough.

A year later, I know what I want to do with my life. I got involved doing things I loved doing. I realized that I have a passion for politics and helping people. I have met many famous political figures. I worked on the Kucinich for President campaign. I feel comfortable with my friends. I have realized that procrastination isn't cool and that things need to get done. I upgraded to Leopard . I've built a reputation of being the "mature, caring, funny, amazing" guy at school. I'm standing up for my beliefs.

Well, the dishes in the sink aren't the same ones that were there a year ago . . .

And the part-time job I started in April turned out to be just as much fun as I thought it would be. (Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a year since I started - I should bring in cupcakes or something on my one-year anniversary!) And where have I ever worked before that, as I was leaving, the guard at the door said, "Gee, too bad you weren't out a bit earlier - you missed the bear in the parking lot!"

On the material side, I ripped apart one end of the house and gave my son his own studio. And we went from dial-up to wireless to portable. (yay!)

I'd like to think that I am also older and wiser. But I can live with one out of two.
