In reflection
I think I’ve posted at least two opinions in a row with no quote inbetween, the world may actually be ending soon…
In reflection, this year was quite dramatic from my viewpoint at it’s tail end. Wikileaks, Anonymous, and just all the cyber drama in general has been almost overwhelming. I’m disappointed by the reaction of my government, and many of my countries citizens, because they show anger at their informers rather then at the government which has committed wrongs.
I have my concerns about the future of all this. From the G20 protests to pfc. Manning, things have not been going all too well.
On a personal note, this year I’ve gotten a good job that I love. I’ve spent most of this year with a girl I really love, and I wouldn’t change a moment of that. I’ve behaved quite well, and I’ve done decently in College.
I’m a bit behind on my personal projects, but then again, I always am. I didn’t get a lot done in the coding department, but I did a ton of server work that I’m happy with. I’ve learned a lot about programming, even if most of it was unfortunately in Java, but I did get a lot of Linux experience as well.
This next year, I want to spend a lot of time with my girlfriend. I like my job a lot, so I’d like to make progress there, not so much in terms of position or anything, but to see my works goals proceed well. I would like to continue to improve in my programming and to work on learning more javascript. I want to learn to form better relationships with my friends and to focus on being a quieter, and more intelligent, well spoken person.
I’d like to be able to make more of a difference in others lives next year. I assume I’ve made some difference, as we all do by simply existing, but I would like to focus on making more of a difference, not in a corny “donate to the needy” sense, but in an active engaged sense of dealing with people and being a problem solver.
Oh, and I’d like to actually spend next new years with my girlfriend, not just home alone in my cold basement.
