Thoughts on 2008:

It was the worst year I've ever had and the sooner it finally ends, the better.

Thoughts on 2009:

It's not 2008, and that's good enough for me. I'm also closer to getting college done.

[DX Kidd]

I hope I'm in college by December 1st 2009.

[Thom]

In September 2009 I aim to be going to Leeds Met University to study Music Technology. That's all I'm working towards at the moment.

2008 was a pretty good year for me, passed my finals, had the best summer vacation evah, got closer with some mates and started Uni

2009: I want it to be abit like last year, so passing my first year in Uni would be nice and gettting a job so I can leave my parental home

Also I'd like a GF and a Xbox 360 next year xD

i'd recommend a girlfriend OR an xbox, not both as you'd probably never get to play the xbox if u had a gf... or maybs shes a bitch and you'd never get to play with her and just depend of the xbox... i dunno

[Thom]

I'd recommend getting an Xbox with Live instead of a girlfriend. At least you'll get some half-decent conversation from it, and it'll only cost you £40 a year.

2008 has been very good to me. had fun, passed my classes, met a special lady friend. no drama, no health problems so no complaints.

for 2009, i hope to finish college and land a job in accounting. hopefully after that i'll be able to get a place of my own and i dunno, go on to the next stage of my life whatever it may be. might have to wait til 2010, but here's hoping.


note to future self: dont do anything stupid, fucker.

[bigpoppn]

Had a rather shitty year, but 2009 can only be better.School is fucking me up the arse right now, I almost have a GF (must be weird to read this but yeah, almost) and I'm getting a few games for Christmas and my birthday so I should be fine.

Pretty much the same for me

---------------------------------------

2009 I'm looking forward too. I'll be graduating from high school and I'm hoping to get into Berklee School of Music. But if I can't get into there the music director at Carson-Newman really wants me to go there.

[Aero]

Well 2008 was mixed for me, it started off really well and then just declined.

Work
I've been doing really well in work and wrote a load of apps that saved the compnay thousands, got praise and been introduced to all the big bosses, yet for all that hard work i've recieved a £10 gift voucher for Game and a case of Carlsberg... Then I got moved on to another section in work with the dumbest people i've ever known.

Gambling
As for gambling, I hit a high of over £3,500 between August-October that I was banking to help pay for a flat/house, then I got greedy and lost it all.

Women
Well the ones i've met this year weren't up to much and never really lasted long as a result of it.

Smacktalks
I'm quite happy with how things have been this year, although we still dont seem to have great numbers of members online the new sections seem to have done well. The wrestling news forum has been a great success, with around 400-500 views per topic which really helps in terms of ad revenue to pay for this place.
Then theres the SvR News/Blog page that is only 1 page but hit well over 100,000 views and continues to receive around 250 hits per day after the release of SvR'09. Then there's CAWSearch, which is now setup to a high standard imo and ready to take the next step and help bring members into the forum.


So for 2009...


Work
I want to get myself motivated and go for some higher paid jobs within the company, rather than be the guy that does all the work and has managament reep the rewards.

Gambling
I want to learn that profit is profit and not risk loosing lots for the sake of an extra few quid.
I also want to use the money to get my own place in the first half of 2009.

Women
I want to meet a women that I can actually have a proper relationship with and not just a bunch of one nighters.

Smacktalks
I want to see the likes of CAWSearch and the external news pages help bring members into the forum and help raise the activity in here. With CAWSearch i'm wanting to see it grow and see hundreds of people using it in the who's online box.

[Jonny]

Well this year has been... interesting...

Women

I got stuck with a crazy attention seeking multi millionairess hypochondriac girl for 6 months, for the first half of the year. I can't say it was fun having to take her to hospital all the time becuase of her daily dying routine... But atleast I got a nice pair of Superdry high tops out of it.

I ended up getting together with the crazy girl's very hot apparent friend who really doesn't like her but secretly has a soft spot for that muppet. So out we went out for a few days then she told me she wasn't ready... Seems she was only after a good shag.. oh well, life goes on.

Work

Work hasn't been too good this year.. I was doing video editing and directing for a media company early in the year, but that went tits up and the crazy cripple aka my ex showed up... Ever since, I havn't had much work at all, which really does suck.

Reflection

Well I'm glad to see the back of 2008, nothing else to say really. Roll on '09!

[bigpoppn]

I'll let you know how it went Aero, and you'll see I'm right

[salizzle]

this forum is fuill of depressing cunts. get a GRIP.

i've had a good year, never had a bad one actually. moved into a new flat, got a brilliant girlfriend, got closer to my friends, met a lot of new people.

'09 just hope to get a great job with a good income as i'm totally an exceptional worky.

[bigpoppn]

What did I tell you Aero? lol.Sofie and I got together on Monday, despite you telling me I got friend zoned

[Aero]

hmmm... if you've not fucked her yet theres still a chance of friend zone
