I spent New Year's Eve of 2005 and 2006 in the same place, so it got me thinking about everything that has happened during the 365 days between parties at Brian and Dave's loft.

Since January 1st, 2006 I have...
Traveled to Los Angeles twice, New York City three times, Austin, Costa Rica, and Copenhagen once; I went from zero to three cats; moved my home from apartment to condo, my office from big to gigantic, and traded in my impractical car for a more practical one; spoken to college students 3 times, been on TV 3 times, been published in 2 books, and been on the cover of one magazine; changed my drink from Ketel to Jack; gone from a workout addict to a non-workout addict to a healthy eating and cardio addict; seen good concerts, bad concerts, boring concerts, and spectaular concerts; watched literally hundreds of movies; read literally dozens of books; learned the joy of mixing salsa and cottage cheese together; started to understand more about wine; still no understanding about why people like black coffee; become inspired by industrial design; become uninspired by social networking; spent the holidays with a new family; strengthened my relationships with my own family; and most importantly - gotten engaged.

Happy new year!
