The year is pretty much ova

It's that time to remember the greatness from the past year and see how much I failed from my goals for this year.


2009 Goals
I want to lose 15 to 20 pounds and feel better about myself. FAIL, if anything I gained weight. I don't feel any better obviously. I suck.

I want to find a job that I can hopefully enjoy. Somewhat successful but overall I'm surprised that I'm so used to working already.

I want to enjoy life and the people around me. This was too general so I have no clue

I want to maintain a very happy relationship with Megan. True, even though she likes to whine

I want to be confident with whatever I do. obviously not true.



OK, on to this year's goals and crap.

Things that happened this year

Graduated college: big surprise there
Got a job: guess I should be more surprised than I am but it's been good so far
Moved out of AH and into Schaumburg w/ the Meggers: I'm actually surprised that I moved out so early but it's been fun and interesting because I've learned a lot living with her.

Those were the main things. I could have gone over a lot more though.


Goals for 2010

Sticking with the first goal for this year: lose some weight, maybe 15-20 pounds if I'm lucky. This goal has a lot to do with Megan. If she's on my schedule then it would be a lot easier.

Move into a house or new place: Will obviously have to move out in August so hopefully we can find some place to live.

Make some money playing cards: I've had a good run play in tournaments on the AZ trip. I've cashed in most of the tournaments I've played in and if I can stay motivated I think I can do okay. I'd like to have a four figure tourney cash. I need to improve though.

Try to clean more/stay cleaner: I know this one is going to be a work in progress.

I hope if I set easier goals then I might actually be able to achieve some of them. That's about it and I hope everyone had a solid year and a better new year. BOOM

HI IT'S ME

I'm writing a blog now letting you know that I'll be writing a blog soon. It will probably be my end of the year wrap up one where I ramble on about the past year. Get pumped.

Here's a thought...

People that file for bankruptcy because they managed their money poorly should either go to prison or be required to take accounting or some type of money management class.

Thoughts? Matt's Meal of the Week

I was thinking of making a weekly entry for strange or unique meals that I make. Obviously the first one would be the Matt Gavin. It might be something that I'd enjoy doing and looking forward to because I assume work won't be fun. Does anyone have any suggestions on foods you want me to mix or things you want me to make?

It's rigged but don't tell them I told you

I just have a few things that I found funny.

First one is the red card that Bradley got today. It was one of the dumbest soccer calls I've ever seen. Keep in mind that I haven't seen that much soccer but honestly, the ref must have had money on the game or wanted to make things interesting. Damn.


This one isn't as ridiculous and mainly something that I find funny.

Itunes is running a scam. I really hate when you download a CD from there and it only allows 5 people to use the CD. Well, I've had to restart my whole computer at least 3 times so that pretty much eliminated my 5 uses. My idea is that Itunes put these viruses on my computer so they could "rip" me off and make me obtain the songs a different way. Way to go Itunes because you got me.

Pointless blog but I know you love it.


P.S. Just got 3rd in an 8 game tourney for like 40 bucks or so. yayyy

Is it only me?

A few months ago when I would be walking outside I felt like every car that drove by was going to shoot at me. I really don't have a clue why I felt like that. I just had a weird feeling that someone would shoot at me and then just drive away. It could be that I played too many video games as a child or now, but I really don't know. I haven't really had that feeling recently though.

My new thing is when I hear a certain clicking type noise in my room I think the fire alarm will go off. Also, I lay in my bed before I go to sleep and I feel like the fire alarm will go off at any second and I feel the noise in my ear like the alarm was actually going off but quieter. I can't really explain that one. Maybe I just hate the noise of the alarm or I remember living in South and remember the fire alarm going off at random times during the night. Am I messed up or do other people have these types of things and what weird thing will I imagine next?

This is all about a girl named Megan

Her name is Megan and she deserves her own post. She is probably the best person that I've ever been around. (That's a sappy way to start it off)

You put up with all my sarcasm and bullshit and just smile and laugh at it.

You get me to run (sometimes) and when you don't you do it yourself and make me feel like a lazy ass.

You usually maintain your sanity (if you are still awake) when I watch sporting events constantly even though I think you enjoy them sometimes.

You will let me win at a game just so I don't feel bad even though you know deep down that you owned me.

You are too nice and not confrontational that you were afraid to hit the wall when my roommate was playing loud music, even though he wouldn't have known it was you that hit the wall.

You keep me sane when I find something ridiculous and you calm me down for the most part with your quiet wisdom.

You have an awkward sense of humor that I'm not sure everyone understands, but it can be very funny. For example, you find it funny to say that your middle name is Maureen when I clearly know that it's Marie.

You also seem to understand my sense of humor and laugh at all my jokes even though a lot of them suck.

You are the speed racer when you drive your Focus and have learned to accept the nickname, regardless of stupid it might sound.

You always put my feelings first when dealing with pretty much anything and I'm not sure everyone can say the same.

You obviously aren't perfect and I enjoy beating you on tests and listening to you complain about useless things that you can't even control.

You have made me a better person, even though I'm far from perfect. You are there when I feel like no one else is and I hope you know how grateful I am. I love you. (Gotta start sappy and end sappy).
