What Did I Do in 2009?
- Graduated Undergrad with a Double Major in Human Services and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Trust me, it sounds like a lot more than it is...
- Started Graduate School, focusing on Counseling...
- Finally accomplished a dream and published my first (official) collection of poetry (which can be found for sale at Great Publishing).
- Developed a growing interest/passion for photography.
- Seen the inauguration of America's first non-white President...
- ...which, coincidentally, allowed me to see a lot of insensitivity within the Body of Christ, as well as this country itself.
- Performed in front of my largest crowd to date with The Jedi.
- Finally bought the Complete Series of Seinfeld & The Wire, both for under $110 apiece, thanks to eBay.
- Spent an entire summer in Golden/Branson, Missouri, doing ministry work by spreading God's love to dozens, if not hundreds of innercity youth across the country.
- Mourned the loss of my most influential artist/entertainer.
- Split, then rekindled one of my most treasured relationships.
- Finally, after years of torturous pain - I got my first car!
- ...which, coincidentially, allowed me to get my first flat tire.
- Moved into a new apartment, with nicer features!
- Met the face of resolution with an old heartbreak...
- Twisted my hair again...
- Attended one of the most fulfilling concerts I have ever been to.
- Got somewhat closer to my siblings...
- Got lost in my own city...
- ...and developed more tales in the story of my life, including but not limited to
- skinnydipping
- "pre-game" bonanzas!
- cooking experiments gone right!
- recording myself in a studio
- road trips to DC, VA Beach & NJ
- discovering the social underground of lynchburg's college life
- a whole bunch of "almost's". Take it how you want it.
- coming face-to-face with ignorance, on my side of the fence.
- a few of my darkest demons
- re: my love life - a deep affinity for John Legend, John Mayer, James Morrison and Little Brother
- ...and much, much more. Stay tuned for 2010!

I applaud you. 2009 was tough...
Despite my tendency to worry, I'm going to choose to steady my feet and look up this steep path ahead...
Still feel like climbing? ;)
Great things in 2009, even greater in 2010. Happy new year!
awesome post. it also allows one to gain your spirit. 2009 was quite a year for you as well i see.
you speak the truth @ ...which, coincidentally, allowed me to see a lot of insensitivity within the Body of Christ, as well as this country itself.
it's funny how i recently saw some Seinfeld DVDs in Target over the holidays and i couldn't remember why i had a thought about 'em. after reading this post i remember it was you spoke of how great a series it truly were.
now i need to purchase 'em myself.
You've been busy, those who are chosen usaully are. I made a list but of the things I wanted to do maybe it should have been about what actually got done. I love to read about people doing the dame thing.
