2009, the year that was…

… an interesting ride. Neil Gaiman summed up his 2009 as, ” unquestionably the best and strangest year of my life, with many enormous highs and one huge low“  I can relate to this with that huge low being my grandfather’s passing and the highs being the friends I’ve gained, the creativity that flowed and Sarah. Of course that’s just my 2009 (and Neil’s apparently.)

For 2009, I could name several people who’s lives where changed in the most negative ways, some of them found resolution while others are hopeful it will come in 2010 (their facebook statuses confirms this).  I find it strange how much a roller coaster ride each year delivers yet after 27 years, getting used to has never happened. 2009 is that year where nothing stood still, everything kept moving, something new each day, and after my grandfather’s passing– every other bullshit felt minute.

The lows of 2010 are expected, and I will still be a whiny little prick when they come…the highs are expected as well and I will be an even whinier little prick if they don’t come.  But as far as 2009, I’m both happy and sad that ride is over.
