2012: Year in Review and Goals/Resolutions for 2013

2012 will go down as much of a mediocre year as it was a great and successful year in other ways. I got to see Philadelphia a few times (I still owe the City of Brotherly Love a cheesesteak try). Part of that was the High Speed Rail Congress put on by the APTA and the UIC (International Union of Railways, of which the USA is not a member of). I got to ride my first high speed train this year, Amtrak's Acela, but I don't think I topped out at over 125. I graduated college. I applied for more jobs, and landed one, which I start tomorrow (and yes, I'm a little scared). I'm almost finished writing my first novel. I've been writing more. And I realized that while I still want kids, I wouldn't mind having just one kid, and if it be a daughter, makes no difference. Honestly, my family name in the United States is dying out. Heck, my kids might have a hyphenated last name, as tacky as they are.

Goals:

-Have another long term, hopefully permanent relationship. Except for Snow Ball and maybe early July, I didn't date much this year. If any girls want to go on a date with a sweetheart, make you voice heard. Preferably someone younger than my brother's girlfriend. (Except for one girl, all the girls my  brother has dated have been older).
-Leave my comfort zone much more often.
-Get a job in the airline industry. Again, I don't mind loading bags onto airplanes. It's fine. I can put up with it.
-Write more often than I do. 
-Make a successful transition between Northern NY and the Catskills.
-Play more computer games in addition to Flight Simulator.
-Be the best Sasha I can be.
