SNIP Blog

Hey Not blogged on here for ages, and as 2009 was about to come to an end I thought I should put one last blog form this decade.

I’m sure this entry will be more of a diary come journal come memory for me rather than an interesting Diggable post for anyone else, but hey – you don’t have to keep reading.

I can honestly say, that I think the last ten years of my life have been the most significant of all my 38 years alive on this planet. A lot has happened, good and bad I guess. Some major events and some minor ones too.

I completed my nurse training, got my first proper job and earned over £10,000 per year for the first time in my life. Nursed dying people. Changed jobs. Got jaded in my work. Got inspired in my work. Still do my work.

I got married and had a child. Had holidays abroad. Bought lots of useless soul sucking gadgets. Got debt. Made friends. Lost friends. Bought a house and got a mortgage. Bought more needless items of consumerism.

Went to the pictures by myself. Downloaded many gigs of torrents (and uploaded only a fraction – sorry Demonoid). Got an iPhone. Started various blogs and bought some domain names. Come up 1st when you google my name. Found a hobby in photography. Watched loads of TV shows.Subscribed to loads of Podcasts.

So busy and so many things that I’ve done. I remember feeling really weird when it was 2001 as it finally became the year of the masterful Sci Fi 2001 A Space Odyssey. Now it’s almost 2010, which is the year of the sequel, will I feel weird again? Who know. Who knows what even the next decade will bring. More tech, more gadgets, more explosions and acts that make it to Sky News? I guess so.

I’m rambling now and on the verge of getting pompous and pretentious so I’ll stop. If you are reading, then I hope you too had a significant last decade and like me, realise how fast life whizzes past. See you in 10
