For the first day in my life I am closer to 30 years old than 20, yesterday marked my 25th birthday.

For my Birthday/Christmas I decided I wanted the flu, as I write this I have a mountain of used kleenex and medication next to me.

Each year I like to use this time to reflect on the year past, trying to learn from my experiences.

Like probally everybody the last year in my life has been a rollercoaster of emotions and growth for me. To be honestwith you, the past year of my life was the best year ever with only one really dark moment with the loss of my grandfather.

I would like to just take a moment to thank everyone who has helped to make 2004 the year of the web. Friends, Family, New Co-Workers, The Red Sox, The Patriots and even some people I have never met.

Life isn’t about getting a fat paycheck, its all about the good times shared with friends and family.

This year also marked the first time I kept a running log of all the events of my life. I have had a website since 1999, but I didn’t keep a semi-daily weblog until April of 2003. A year in recap will be happening closer to new years day, I know you all can’t wait.

Thanks again everyone, have a great 2005 as I’m sure I will.
