Like most years ending in odd numbers, 2009 was a fun year to exist within the space-time continuum, but hardly represented the universal paradigm shift of human enlightenment so many of us are awaiting.
2010, with its aesthetically-sound round numbers and new decade-bringing ways, will be another difficult year financially, politically, and socially for all of us human critters circumnavigating our courses through the labyrinthine machinations of modern life. But I’m still excited, if nothing else, to just exist.
This year, I plan on:
- Cutting down our own trees and chopping them into firewood
- Traveling to Buenos Aires, Argentina to see my friends Jonah and Katrin
- Purchasing some drum microphones to ease the recording process
- Becoming financially solvent and responsible
Among other things. Time gets away from us and the next thing you know, it’s 2011. However this year marks a personal shift in which I’ve become more comfortable with my surroundings here in Vermont – more acclimated to the culture, my job, my friends – more in tune with the harmonies of this wonderful place. That said, I think I should take more pictures this year too.
