Day 345 of 2009
So the year is about up and I'm making my second Blog post. I could blame Twitter... but that would be wrong. Although Twitter is a great way to just get something off your chest or mind and move on.

So this post is basically an account of what my blogged 2009 hopes were. Overall, this was an exceptional year with a tremendous amount of blessings.

Tier 1 hopes...

• These were met, with a deep appreciation to the Lord, etal. Both my wife and son went through the birthing process, completed it in good health and remain in good health. We are fortunate to have a wonderful, beautiful baby son!!! (YAY!) ^__^

Tier 2 hopes...

• I still have a job (yay!).
• We are no closer to buying a house (bummer).
• My allergies cleared up for the most part (yay!).
• One thing related to 2001 came up (boo!). But in large part, it is why my allergy symptoms got better. Stash this one in the category of, "be careful what you wish for, you might just get it".

Tier 3 hopes...

• I lost about 30 lbs., but do not consider myself remotely in shape (okay). Although its a good starts and I remain motivated to continue getting in good shape.
• None of my credit cards or school loans or car loans are paid off (boo!).
• I did not get promoted and I did not get any salary increase at work (bummer).

Tier 4 hopes...

• Well I did complete 1 of the 2 classes I need for my Creative Arts degree (okay.)
• I no longer am aiming for the Certificate in Creative Arts Entrepreneurship. Reason being that I am no longer aiming towards earning my MBA (fine).
• Besides working in the profession, I did nothing towards completing my PMP (boo!).
• Overall I do not think the Wolverine movie "sucked", but they never got his hair right even once, and they totally goofed up his back history... so whatever (fine).
