2012 in Review

This year has been a really good year.

Friends
Becoming friends with everyone from The Cellar has been awesome. Ariel, Julio, Clara, Kim, Gaby, Carlos, Lindsey, Stephanie and everyone else have been some of the coolest people to have hung out with. Becoming friends with Felix, Jack and Nick was also really cool. Not many dull conversations with anyone.

School
I'm another step closer to graduation. 4 Bs and 2 C+s this semester means I can sleep soundly and just continue to improve next semester. Next semester is also probably going to be my hardest, which is a bit exciting, especially since I'm going to taking the two most important classes for my major. Bring it on school, I can do this. 

Concerts
What a year. Saw DevilDriver (for the fourth and fifth time), Iron Maiden, GWAR, Turisas, Arkona, Huntress, 3 Inches of Blood, Dethklok, In Flames (twice), Lamb of God and still many more. As much as it hurts to to go into the pit, that shit is fun and stress relieving. I got a good amount of hard knocks this year in the pit.

Cycling
I already previously dedicated a whole post to this. But buying Abigail had a huge impact on my life and has definitely aided in becoming a better person physically and mentally.

Germany
Man, what to say that I haven't said before. That trip is just memories I'm going to keep for life. Standing next to the pitch of the Alianz Arena and passing through the dressing rooms of the Bayern Munich players :3 I even got visit a fucking castle for myself and walk through its halls.

Mexico
Going to Mexico over the summer brought many great memories. Seeing my cousins again for the first time in two years and surprising my aunts and uncles brought along many smiles.

Movies
I 've seen a lot of movies at the theaters. Frankenweenie is still my personal favorite. The Hobbit and Django Unchained were both super great movies, Crazy, Stupid, Love and Paranorman are right there too. If I had to label one movie as the worst that came out, I'd easily go with This is War. That movie is shittier than shit. (I still didn't really like Drive)

Soccer
Real Madrid and Chivas are total disappointments for me. Arsenal are having ups and downs but kicking butt. To have Jack Wilshere back is great and I hope they do well in the rest of Champions League.

Video Games
I played a lot of FIFA 12 and 13 this year. Rayman Origins is fucking awesome and I really want to play Far Cry 3 (which I'm hoping to buy later tonight). Epic Mickey 2 is really good and If only Bioshock Infinite had not been pushed back, I would be playing it right now.  

Music
Heard some great songs and great albums this year. I'm still going with Pig Destroyer's Book Burner as my favorite album of the year. But man, for a debut, Huntress' Spelleater is still fucking kickass. Every song on that album is fast and just in-your-face riffage. (New DevilDriver cd next year :D can't wait)

Crunchbite
Well Crunchbite is still Crunchbite. Nothing new there.

America
Hehe not the country. I'm happy to call her my girlfriend and I enjoy spending my time with her. There is a point in time where I begin to lose count of all the good times we've spend together and the laughs. She's also trying to do The Blues Project next semester and I really hope she gets accepted. I know she's looking forward to it. (In all honesty though, it really bugs me that I can't beat her in Blokus. I try really hard and plan out my moves yet I keep losing to her, grrr)

Thank you for the memories 2012

(I need to figure out a way to improve my cellphone coverage at home. The fact that my phone can't get any calls or message when it's not attached to my window really sucks. Maybe if I cover my walls in tin foil...)
