So... its 2010... big whoop! I don't know why people think everything changes just because the date does. Reality check folks... its just another day and another year on the calender. All thoes problems that popped up in 2009... yeah they are still gonna be there.
When I rang in the new year... I said thought to myself.. damn it sure is good to be home. Spending so much time with my friends and family. Well more my family then friends actually.. no one was really around when I was home for xmas. But I thought 2010 was off to a good start... even though I did almost blow my hand off with a firework :S. I should have seen that firework as a sign. This year is going to be nuts. In the 2 weeks that has been 2010, so many things have gone wrong. On my trek back to Maryland, what should have been a 12 hour trip quickly became a 22 hour trip when my flight in Bangor for JFK got delayed by an hour.. causing me to miss my flight at JFK to Baltimore by 5 minuets. Then I stood in line at JFK for about an hour and a half to get on the next flight to Baltimore.. which was set to leave at 8. I though well yes I did miss my flight but at least Im on the next one! Well that flight was delayed an hour, then a half hour then another half hour. Finally at 10:20 we boarded the plane. Then we sat in the plane... at the gate.. for an hour. We left the gate and sat on the runway for another 30-45 minuets before we finally took off. I got to BWI at 12:20... at this point all my friends we in bed fast asleep and I had to pay for a $55 cab ride back to Crofton.
Throughout the next week little things kept popping up that just made everything worse. And then this past Friday, while on my way to the gym, I nicked a guys car... didn't see him coming at all... scratched the paint on his car and there was more damage to mine. But I found out today that its going to cost over $1000 bucks to get that scratch fixed. $1000 BUCKS FOR A SCRATCH!!!! wtf?! And if that wasn't the worst thing... things only got worse when I found out that my grandmother had a stroke this past Saturday night and is now paralyzed on the right side of her body. She will be going to rehab and will hopefully get most if not all the motion back but I hate that I am so far away and I have no idea whats going on.
So that is my 2010 so far. I hope to god it gets better... but right now.. I feel like its going to get a whole lot worse.
Happy Freaking New Year Everyone!!
Till next time!
