• 2007 Ends

  2007 was sort of a mediocre year for me.  I started the year a bit depressed, and basically stayed in a funk of sorts most of the year.  I spent a lot of time by myself, and much of that doing quite a bit of soul searching. 

  I've never been big on change.  I've had the same job since college.  I wear clothes until they fall apart.  I eat the same foods all the time (and too much of them).  And I make the same "resolutions" and plans to "organize my life" all of the time.

  Every December/January, I come up with the same ideas to "make myself a better person", a better Christian, a better son, brother, etc.  These plans usually focus on reading the Bible more, and stopping my OCD/hoarding behavior and getting my stuff cleaned out and organized.  And by every March or April, I've fallen hopelessly behind in those plans and give up until the next year.

  But as 2007 wore on, I think I had a few ephinanies of sort.  I rented a storage site a few months ago, and moved much of my collections there.  I have latched onto a new "philosophy", the Rule of One, which I think is going to work wonders.  I'll expand on it in a later post.

  One thing that became clear to me in the last month or so, was that I
  was happier back in 05/06 when I writing more.  I barely touched this
  blog in 2007.  I'm promising myself that 2008 will be better.  I've written a few notes/placeholder/private entries the past few weeks, but this is my first real entry of 2008.  I started this on New Year's Eve, but am actually writing the majority of it on January 26th.  More tomorrow?
