So for me 2008 will be remebered for...
Watching a leader who inspired millions all over the globe to rethink the world as it is and reject anyone who tells them they can't do something.
Earning enough respect to call myself a full-time employee at a job that comes with 'benefits'.
Trying to figure out what exactly having a job with 'benefits' means.
Remebering that on this day last year I said "I'm not sure when, if ever, I will be ready to be employed at a 9-5 job".
Becoming comfortable enough with L.A. to consider it my 'home'.
Truly seeing why some people will live no place other than in Southern California.
Truly seeing why some people will live no place other than in Southern California.
Really seeing why some people want nothing to do with Southern California.
Seeing a close friend achieve athletic success reserved for only a select few.
Being able to witness those successes (and some trying times) from a unique vantage point.
Realizing (once again) how clear the stars look from a place where you don't need any of the things people 'can't live without' on a day-to-day basis.
Traveling to my favorite city in the world and remebering why I feel that way about it.
Seeing a baseball game in the world's most famous and historically significant sporting venue. A place that won't exist after this year.
Anticipating a horse race more than I ever will again in my life.

For me 2008 will be remembered for...
Being more unsure about my future plans than ever before...and learning to become more comfortable with that fact.
I'll remeber 2008 as the year I began...
Looking toward the future of my country and humanity with uncertainty and a hope that within my lifetime we can achieve a new way of living.
Trying to re-think my daily habits so that I can begin to do my part to help us achieve that way of living.
Realizing I'm in touch with fewer people than I thought I was.
Knowing one of my favorite live musical acts will never be the same.

Watching all of my favorite sports teams float around in the sea of mediocrity.
There are many memories and lessons I'm sure I've forgotten. As 2008 passed too quickly I'm sure 2009 will do the same. I can only hope I learned as much as in the new year as I did this year.
