So a new year rolls around, and I look forward to being a year older. Not that it really means that much...the year changing just helps to further distort my perception of reality. As a child of the 80s and 90s, I still think of the late 1990s as being "recent", even though it was a decade ago *sigh*. That aside, it's nigh-on-impossible for 2008 to be as life changing as 2007 for me. I begin this new year in a new state, as a married man, and (more importantly) as a father. I remember writing a similar post to this one on my WordPress blog almost exactly a year ago.
At that time, I had no idea how much my life would be changing. Well, I had some inkling...I knew I was getting married, but that was about it. Nothing can surpass the joy that comes from being/becoming a father. The one thing I really look forward to this year is watching my son grow up. His birth has definitely been the highest point in my short life -- and every day since has run a close second. His birth sparked me re-registering this domain -- though I waited until now to actually post anything. Up until now, I was just using the domain to host pictures so my family/friends could readily retrieve them. Unfortunately, I don't have the motivation to migrate all my older blog posts to this site...oh well. Yeah...new host...new dad...2008 here we come!
