2011!!!

Where do I begin?  2011 you came in a lot better and a lot less violent than 2010.  We started off on the wrong foot but I thought the world of you, you had so much promise and so much appeal!

Do you remember our first month together and that night when I had too much to drink and got behind the wheel?  I barely remember it and damn it was stupid.  Thank God we did hurt ourselves or someone else.

Or how about Febuary?  You know where we once again spent Valentine's day at a bar hitting on random women?

And there is no way you could forget about my Birthday in March!  We brought in my last year of my 20's together.  Of course I had to hit on a bartender...

How about that old saying "April Showers Bring May Flowers?"  You're so damn sneaky 2011!  You could see my stress level rising in April.  It was like the calm before the storm, we both saw it coming.

May, we closed a business together and put a lot of people out of work.  We shed a lot of tears...

Then we went a little nuts together!  Drinks, drinks, and drinks in June and July!  I mean we didn't give a damn!  You're so crazy 2011!

During all the summer heat remember when we were rebounding and were walking miles to work together because of that DUI night in January!  You sure helped keep the pounds off, you must like me thin 2011!

Know way we can forget showing up to work with a severe hangover in October!  I mean let's be honest with ourselves 2011.  You and I both know and can admit that even though we were there, we had no business showing up like a shit show to work.

November and December?!  This is where we look in the mirror and do a lot of soul searching.

So this being our last day together I just want to say to you 2011 that you have been the best year of my life and I thank you and love you for it!  You think I'm kidding?  Let me explain,  yes you put me through enough stress to kill some people and handed me by far my worst financial year ever and again I thank you for it!

I take the blame for that DUI and learned to never do it again.  It also made me move and my roommate is one the greastest people I have ever met and never would've known that without that DUI.  I have been on the mat many times in my life 2011 and you were the first that ever made me question if I could get back up.  But guess what?!  My family and friends picked me up, when I doubted myself they didn't.  You brought me closer to my family than I have ever been.  Finally, late this year you introduced me to Jesus and I proudly say I am Christian now.  And I want to make it clear I'm not perfect and never will be but I am a better person.

So there it is, every good thing has to come to an end but I will never forget you 2011!

  2. Glad I got to come along for the ride this year brother. From ordering "The Special" at Braswells to karaoke to rolling to a bank on Saturday to sort through the mess, it was a great year. Looking forward to another 365 days of it.
