paynegretzky Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Turned 30 and my girlfriend had all my good friends surprise me at a chalet on a river. (best birthday ever) and we bought a dog in 2016, get him in a few weeks. Pretty huge. As far as the quality of 2016, it was one of the best years yet when it comes to health and happiness. What a great year in that respect. Hoping for an even better 2017 mrewest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fucker flew out to Phoenix to hang out and we saw Dillinger and Appleseed Cast. He missed it because his plane wasn't in yet but I also caught American Nightmare and Judge the Saturday (day) before he was in. Overall I think I had a productive year. I had some shit that I wanted to work on/change, and while it isn't 100% there I definitely made some positive change. I had a miserable past couple years and decided that I was going to fix it instead of just dealing with it, and I plan to carry that into this year. I'll stop there so it doesn't end up rambley/overshared, but I know I have talked about it with a couple people here so at least someone knows what the hell I mean.
