Blog Passes 1 Year Mark
Well, I didn’t update my blog on its’ own birthday…How pathetic! Anyways, my blog has been officially a year old since December 20^th and I’m amazed I made it this long considering most people hardly make it past 3 months! According to my archives my first few blog posts were about AGLOCO, I won’t even go there. Even though my blog posts aren’t very frequent anymore I still enjoy having my own personal space on the web and sharing my thoughts. And yes, I still read most of your blogs, you know who you are, I just haven’t been commenting. Thanks to those of you who still drop by every now and then.

My 21^st Birthday
My 21^st birthday was on January 8^th, 2008. I didn’t like the fact that it was on a Tuesday, especially the first week back at school. For the most part of what I can remember I enjoyed going to the bars for the first time with friends. I’m not going to lie I woke up at 8am the next morning still pretty drunk. I woke up that early so I wouldn’t be dropped from my Information Systems class since this was the first week of school! Guess what? My professor didn’t even take roll…sigh. Anyways, I’m still alive and that’s all that matters.

Yes. That’s me in the middle!

Looking Back
The last year (2007) definitely had a lot of ups and downs (not like you haven’t heard that one before), but I definitely learned a lot about myself. I’ll have to refer to 2007 as my “entrepreneurial years” because I had/have so many business ideas I’d like to get started on! I’m glad my brother and I made plans for our online business, we learned a lot about the business process and gained experience and knowledge in the field.

As for blogging goes, I’d like to say that I was pretty successful. Not quite so in the making money department, but networking and making friends that I never would have if I hadn’t started blogging. Again, you guys and gals know who you are. I did have my run with PayPerPost making about $500 in a month and a half. However, I don’t think I’ll be writing PayPerPosts anytime soon.

Christmas was great. New Years was great. That’s pretty much all I want to say about 2007 because I’m ready for the now and the future!
