2009 in Review

As I am sitting here today I have realized that I have neglected this blog terribly for the past few months. I try and determine why that might be, and I realize that it is the same reason that I do not go to the gym on a daily basis... I don't make time for it. That is going to change in 2010. Now it might not be everyday, but regularly I will post my thoughts on the current events in the world. What I ask of you is that if you have a comment, please post it. I really like reading other peoples thoughts. With that said here is my last post of 2009.

I look back over the year and so many things have changed, yet many stay the same. We innaguarted this countries first minority president in January and asked him to revitalize this country and get it moving back in the direction of properity. Now depending on what side of the arguement you fall on, will determine your thoughts on his success/failure. Not what I am getting at here today. The main thing is that in a majority of cases this country has moved past looking at the color of the person skin, and looking into the content of what they say. That to me is wonderful. Is there work to be done, absolutely. But taking this major step is something that can never be taken back.

When you look at the sport world, wow what a year. I never thought the say would come that I would have to boo Brett Favre because of the jersey that he wears. But as a PACKER FAN first, I am obligated to boo him when he plays the Packers. On the flip side I am exteremly excited that our new QB has proven the critics wrong and shown why they were able to say good bye to a legend. Thanks Aaron for another great season of Packer Football. The Yankees won again in baseball, and I believe once again shows that baseball is behind the times and needs to institute a salary cap to even the playing field... But that will not happen in the near future. And really what happened to Tiger Woods. He went from the greatest golfer/person in the world, to just the greatest golfer. My hope for 2010 is that he can regain some personal perspective and then come back and be the golfer that we know and love. To me he still remains the best golfer ever... Maybe on day he can regain the best person in the world as well.

On a personal level, 2009 was overall a good year for my family. After enduring a layoff in January, I was able to land a job that moved my family back down to FL. This is where we have wanted to live for some time and now have the opportunity. After enduring another layoff in June, I believe I have found a job that I can stay with for a very long time. I love what I am doing and being able to do it in my hometown, is even better. As with all things in life, there were downs as well, but faith in God and much hard work; we have gotten through it.

I wish everyone a safe end of the year and wish you the best for 2010. As I mentioned I promise to post more this year and make this something that I make time for. Please help me by posting your thoughts to mine and lets have a great discussion in 2010.
