Final thoughts for 2008
17 years ago
Well, here we are again. On the eve of the New Year, wondering now more than ever what the next twelve months will hold in store for us. I've been reading a lot of journals from people talking about this year and the next, and I guess that's inspired me to write one of my own, or at least make some kind of attempt at one. So, here we go...
The year has been a fairly important one for me. First year out of an educational institution, finishing my Film and TV Advanced Diploma from Swinburne last year, so going pretty much straight into a full-time job at the end of Feb was a big jump for me. Then I moved out of home, another big deal, but probably even bigger for my folks than it was for me, I would still get text messages, 3 months after leaving home, several times a week, asking if i was coming home for dinner that night! Talk about your separation anxiety!!
A downer of the year was having to decide to pull-out of going to FC due to the global financial crisis, not an easy thing to do when you've had the plans of your trip in your head for the past four months, and then the week before you go to get your ticket, the economy turns to shit overnight. Oh well.
However, MFX went off!! Australia's first furry-con and I really don't see how they could've done much better for a first-time team. Only problem is: they've set such a high-standard for themselves, that MFXI is going to have to be pretty awesome to try and top it, and just between you and me, it's going to be massive!!
To those we've lost this year. I'd like this chance to pay my respects to comedian/broadcaster, Richard Marsland, who's time on this Earth was all too short, at only 32 years of age.
To all my furry friends: thank you for being apart of my life, weather it's online or in person ("furson"?), and may the new year bring you many wonderful things. You have all helped inspire me into (slowly) bring the two parts of my life, furry and non-furry, together, and made me realize that I really have nothing to be ashamed of to have to've even split it up in the first place! I feel lucky to know such fine people and to be able to count them as my friends, and for that, I say thank you.
Well 2008, as Vinnie Jones said: "It's been emotional." 2009, here I come!!
Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that. - Michael Leunig
