To say that I can't wait for 2012 to be over would be the understatement of the year. As many of you know, I lost a very close friend to cancer in June, a cousin to cancer in August, and mixed through out the year 3 other people I know passed away from various issues. I suffered a 50% pay drop from a very confused industry which lead to having no commissions and impossible to reach revenue goals.

On the bright side, I knocked five countries off my list. Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and the Dominican Republic were all AMAZING places to visit. My girlfriend remains to be my best friend and most amaizng person I might ever know. We celebrated our 10th yr together this November, can't wait for the next 10!

Got some good gaming in, and really had a chance to push our new gaming PC to it's limits with BF3, F1 2012 and Starcraft II, all pretty awesome games. As for my GOTY...hmmm, I guess it would have to be FarCry 3. I'm no way close to being finished with it, but it's lots of fun and well done.

The Baltimore Orioles and now the Baltimore Ravens both made it to their playoffs, it's been a great time to live in/near Baltimore!

2013 is looking much, much better. I already have more sales booked than I had all of last year so the job thing seems bright. We are going to Costa Rica in Feb for 7 days, and then in June/July we will be back in Europe visiting Germany, Luxembourg, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Belgium. Luxembourg, Switzerland and Belgium three countries we have not been to yet.

Games I'm looking forward to.... GTA5, SimCity and maybe the new xbox?

Oh, weight loss goal: I wanted to drop 55lbs, I did not make it. I lost 35lbs, but now have put 10lb back on. Looks like I know what I will be doing again in early 2013. Look out gym, I'm coming back at ya!

I completed my first,(and only) 5k run. I don't know what's wrong with people that run, but they should all be locked up.

That is all, 2012 over and out! Hope you all have a fun, safe NYE!
