2018 was, overall, a mixed year.

Mom died, changed jobs three times, graduated from community college and transferred to a four year school, got into my first real car accident, and (probably) lost a Federal internship to Trumps shutdown.

Also got good grades and made progress towards getting my bachelors degree, and lost 30 pounds doing keto.

Overall, I'd say it was a wash.

2018 can suck my dick from the back. It was a little better than 17 but not by much.

Mom went in for a pacemaker at the beginning of the year, my dad just had emergency triple bypass.

Hopefully 2019 will kick rear end, or we all end in nuclear hellfire.

It's pretty clear we're living in a Beckett play and each year will be worse than the last as we crawl asymptotically closer to some awful finale but being alive is worth celebrating, so happy new year.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

My plan is to get my finances in order, try to stop creating so much waste (mostly by reducing the amount of plastic I come into contact with) and continue boxing. I guess I have already started all three but 2019 will get the credit.

And who knows, maybe I will see Kirk Cousins earn his loving pay.

Not a resolutionnecessarily, but now that my life has a normal flow again, I really need to try to lose some weight. Hopefully can get some money stashed, and I might finally let the poor folks in my sex dungeon out.

Only good thing I saw in 2018 was a better job opportunity for more money in a much better location.

2019, barring major unforeseen expenses, will be the year I get out of debt. And probably buy a house so I can work on my loving cars and get a dog.

2018 cleared up what debt I had and got me back in shape a bit. Though there's been some backsliding on that. I have my career locked in too.

Still, the state of the world and some other personal stuff has kept me pretty depressed.

I didn't kill myself this year. Here's to another year of still not doing that.

I meant this in more of a "haha he choked on a ping-pong ball what a jackass" sort of way, rather than something depressing. Don't hurt yourselves folks.

Not really a resolution, but I am hoping I will be able to exercise again- like really get some physical activity in after my partial knee replacement.
And quit being such an rear end in a top hat.

Is boxing cool and fun or is it a bunch of try-hard CrossFit assholes? I'd really like to give it a shot someday

I went to 20 countries, got engaged, and got a promotion in 2018 so it was OK for me. But I recognize that it was bad for highschool students who don't like getting shot, Central American kids who came to the US with hopes of not being sent to concentration camps, and House Republicans who were hoping to continue to marginalize both of those aforementioned groups.

Personally, it was a pretty good year. Got married and ran a marathon. But I'm a straight white dude, so it's a pretty low bar for me.

Here's to hoping 2019 is better for everyone who had a poo poo year in 2018.

My year was great. Quit my old job and career, started back to grad school for what I feel is my calling, and maintained my shape.

Next year is to continue doing well in classes, rock out my clinical internship, and improve my fitness.

I really enjoyed the program I was in. It was a 101 program for college credit, although I didn't need the credit I wish I would have put it on the GI Bill. Mine was a small group of like 7-9 of us, all college aged except me and another guy. Typical day was a 40 minute circuit workout and then like 20 minutes of some instruction and/or bag and mitt work, no sparring. It was specifically a boxing gym so I think that kept away a bunch of the crossfit douches. I lost a bit of weight and built some muscle which I liked. If I cleaned up my diet I think I could have seen more results.

2018 was a decent year for me. Went to six countries for work and did some cool stuff there; dealt with some challenging BS back at the office.

On a personal level, I spent my year raising my dog, watching my best friends give birth to their first kid, getting engaged to the love of my life, and capped it off by officiating my sister’s marriage to a good dude.

Let’s see what 2019 brings. Hopefully Trump reports to jail on my wedding day.

Gonna spend the next year learning about the plant tracking programs I'll need for work, METRC and Biotrack. Hopefully shuffle over to the cloning nursery in the spring, and start working a grow position by next fall. But I'll happily take a trim lead role when we have a dozen trim machines and two shifts of people feeding them. Finally in the career I should've been working on entering a decade ago. Feels so loving right.

Tossing my keys at my old boss at the warehouse was the best thing I did this year. And I have the "do crime" angle nailed down on a federal level.

I was pretty solidly hosed about five years ago. It passes, man. It takes time, you get used to living with a mountain of unpaid debt and ignoring collections calls, but it passes. Besides, who is actually planning on retiring anyway, right?

Take some deep breaths, bud. And call the VA to see a psychiatrist. Anti-depressants do help.

Hey appreciate the thoughts man, I'm one of those non-mil refugees from the rest of this trashfire forum who found a home to make bad posts about current events here. I do need to find a psychiatrist though. Hope 2019 goes well for you.
