Today, I finally finished cleaning up all 90 gigs of my mp3 folder. Now I can focus on other things, like the website I've abandoned yet again. It's down right now because I've been busy getting the domain transferred to my own name (finally, after 4 years), and then I'll also be switching over to a different host that won't drastically overcharge me. Considering the site hasn't made me a dime since it's inception (not that I'm really trying to make any money with it, yet), there's no point in forking over so much cheddar for the handful of people that actually visit on a regular basis. It should be up and running again in full swing by the end of the year. I totally missed the mark on my promise to post 50 comics this year (I've only done about 8, I can't even remember now), and haven't touched the site since May. What with losing my license and being in a shitty McJob contributing to my unmotivated funk I've been in all year, no one who knows me should be all too suprised, however I'm resolving to turn all that around in the coming year.

Things I've Accomplished This Year:
- Celebrated 1 year with the best girlfriend EVAR: and many more Meggalicious years to come!
- Mega Man Contest: I won 4th place in a Mega Man Boss Idea contest at GamesRadar.com. I got a Mega Man ZX Advent DS game, a GamesRadar beach towel, and Mega Man T-shirt (sized youth large  ).
- Blew 5 months playing City of Heroes: ...if you want to call that an accomplishment.
- Successfully fought the impulse to drive while suspended for the last 6 months: and only one more month to go!
- Submitted an album cover idea to Pomplamoose: ...although it sucked horribly, but at least I did something creative.
- Cleaned up my 90 GB mp3 folder: as stated above. Only took 3 months!
- Donating a live chicken to a poor family in a third world country: under the name Ms. Meggles Is Awesome.
- Staying in shape (sorta): I'm just as sesky as ever (for what that's worth), thanks to a year of riding a bike about 50 miles a week (I actually wore out a decent bicycle past the point of being fixed) and running around another 50 miles a week at my job.

Things I Did NOT Accomplish This Year:
- Getting promoted to Fuel Manager at Wawa: They gave it to some much younger guy who's been there a third of the time I have. Why? He'll work for less and won't ask questions. (*shrug*) I'm better off, really.
- Subsequently finding a better job: I'm aiming for late February at this point.
- Posting 50 comics this year at StuOnThis.com: as pointed out above. Maybe next year. No, definitely next year.
- Getting Maggie and Megan to not hate each other: It's actually kind of funny considering how much the two have in common (like, for instance, being really stubborn). Hopefully, sometime in the coming year the three of us can hang out without any drama.
- Going to the beach or even stepping foot in a pool: somehow, it just never happened this year.
- A vacation: Specifically, a ski trip. Jan/Feb '09!
- Keeping a well-updated blog: Since moving up here to Spruce, I haven't blogged a fraction as often as I did in the couple years before. Thereby creating yet another resolution for the 2009!

Hope everyone has an awesome holiday!

Thanks to Megan and Nadine, I'm now free from the tyranny of Sprint and a happy new Verizon customer with a spiffy new LG ENV2 phone, which is practically a tiny laptop, and I love it. I also have unlimited texting now, and my ability to text back isn't horrificly hindered by a radically shitty phone. So text me all you want now, I don't care.

Still stuck at Wawa, since the Circuit City job fell through. I want to quit SO badly, but I can't do that until I find another job, which is pretty much impossible until I can drive again. Less than 2 months left! I'm counting down the days. It's going to be a huge party, and you're all invited. Yes, YOU. If you're reading this, I expect you there. Text me for details.

Just finished my Venetian Snares folder. That guy's done a lot of shit.

I may even finish my main music folder before I go to work today! Goes to show how boring my life has become. I guess that's about it for now.

According to Maggie, it's an amazing feeling when it happens.

I've been spending the better part of my free time for the past month going through my 90GB MP3 folder, fixing all the track names, ID3 tags, and tracking down album covers so everything is complete and wonderfully spiffy. I've been working alphabetically, and I'm up to Nirvana now (Nine Inch Nails took a couple days).

There's a sample of what I'm talking about. It's like a jukebox! It's also making me realize how much stuff I'm missing. A few years ago I sparked a 40 GB hard drive that was pretty much full of mp3s, and I've yet to re-aquire a majority of it. I should have about 120 gigs at this point.

Aside from that, not a whole lot else to talk about. Everything is pretty much exactly the same. Meggles is awesome. Wawa sucks and I want to quit. Still can't drive. And my ass is devine.

New bike, though. I actually wore out my previous one. Ground the gears down to nubs. My manliness is that intense. Be afraid.

Hopefully within a couple weeks I'll be a Circuit City employee, sporting a a lime green Firedog polo shirt, a slightly bigger paycheck, and a heaping shitload more self-esteem. Having people assume you're at least AS intelligent as they are when they talk to you as opposed to them treating you like you're retarded makes a pretty sizable difference as to how much willpower it takes not to bash your head into the bathroom mirror each morning.

Off to work again. Wish me luck!
