So I sit down to write this post, all about what I did in 2008. I figured I must have something to show for the year. Anyways, this is what I came up with:
1. I went to the Emerald City Comicon and met Wil Wheaton. Ed Brubaker, Tim Sale and many others in the spectrum of nerdery.
2. I went to London and Paris. Whilst there, I met Stephen Fry. I saw Avenue Q and Timon of Athens. I also saw Sam Roberts in London, because I can never see his Vancouver shows for some reason. I went to the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Parisien catacombs, the arc de triomphe, and saw a dead body being dragged out of the Seine.
3. Was first in line for the midnight screenings of the Dark Knight, Indiana Jones, X-files: I Want To Believe, and Quantum of Solace.
4. I learned how to play chess (properly), and joined a bowling league. I discovered the secret to solving the Rubik's cube.
5. Found in myself a tremendous passion for Social Media and Marketing. Therefore, starting this blog, getting over my resentment of facebook, and becoming a twitter addict. I read more marketing books than I ever thought I would.
6. Went back to Alberta (my birthplace). It was nice to see the Rocky Mountains again.
7. Had the silly idea that having three jobs at one time would be a good idea. As it turns out, that wasn't such a silly idea after all.
Aaand...
That's as far as I got.
Ok yeah, I did some awesome stuff. But those events were few and far between. In fact, I don't have anything on the list that didn't happen before April. In 2009 I hope to remedy that.
So far in January I will be...
Getting a tattoo, attending a concert, and maybe a conference or two.
I resolve that next year will be twice as exciting as this year.
What is your resolution?

I have two. One is more serious than the other, and the same one is the one that I am more likely to go through with.
The first is to reduce my "carbon footprint" (ugh I hate that term) by not eating meat (including fish) for the entire year.
The second is to not use forks. (It's like "always use chopsticks" but easier, because if I don't feel like it I can just use a spoon)
Not using forks, eh? I've not heard of that before. Sounds to challenging for me. Good luck!
Also, congrats on joining the ranks of the veggies! We shall assimilate the world to our cause.
That last sentence made sense by the way.
