Hi.

I thought after my 538-day hiatus I'd come out of blogger retirement to announce fulfillment. I'm sure no one's reading this - I've done a pretty good job alienating my entire online audience. In fact, you probably found me today because you were removing outdated bookmarks and accidentally clicked on peer2all.com. Or, if you're one of the creepy-ass stalkers who clicked refresh all day just waiting for my next update, you probably have moved on, or have found other ways to stalk me. Spare me the drama.

Still, you're here. Cool. I thought it'd be interesting to display my 2007 goals, now that the year is done. Best. Year. Ever. Check this out:

Get more involved in the community. Knights of Columbus, Comfort Zone Camp, Richmond Runners, Habitat for Humanity, Board Member of C3, Richmond Artists...

Train for (and run in) a Marathon. Did two, actually. Richmond & Disney.

Get active at church. CRHP participant, CRHP organizer, CARITAS (feeding homeless), Knights of Columbus.

Take Brickworkz to the next level. Guinness World Record holder for "Largest LEGO image. MUSE award finalist. Window display downtown. More local press.

Begin to learn a new language. Started Arabic. Don't think I'll finish that one- Struck me as odd that the first three words learned were 1) "Man" 2) "Airplane " and 3) "Zionist Propaganda"

Travel some. Chicago. Ohio (3 times). DC (4 times). Asheville NC (4 times). Syracuse NY (twice). Orlando. Mississippi. Savannah.

Start dating. Had some interesting dates. One serious winner. We're in love.

Aggressively pay off debt. Closed four credit cards. Used only cash the ENTIRE year.

Trust your gut. Always. Hasn't failed me since I committed to doing this.

Make a difference in people's lives. This is harder to judge, but I hope I've at least made some sort of impact on everyone I've come into contact with.

Lose a lot of weight Without dieting in 2007, I dropped 65 pounds, and for the past 3 months have maintained. The next round of pound-shedding begins soon.

Simplify and intensify a source of income Refining and re-negotiating created a schedule I tailored to be simple, stress-free, and very rewarding.

I was pretty impressed to knock everything off that list (and then some) in 2007. It truly was my best year. Never have I been able to do MORE with LESS in my life, and never have I been happier doing it.

I'm a little rusty writing , so I'd better slow down and call it a night. Wouldn't want to get blogger whiplash or something. And I won't make promises about an update. I doubt it'll be 17 months, but who knows? I might just have another stellar year.

Is your year going well? No? Get your ass moving. January is GONE.
