Happy New Year!

Sipping on the "Arrogant Bastard" clone
It's 2011. I'm drinking in the new year with my newest batch of beer and it's delicious! If you have ever had an Arrogant Bastard by Stone Brewery then you will love mine because it is a clone. It's dark and strong with a smooth finish. Let's put it this way, I'm still hung over from last night and despite having a head ache and being disgusted by the smell of alcohol, it still tastes good (the hair of the dog...). Anyway, I'm pretty happy about it.

Well, another year has passed and 2010 was an exciting year to say the least. I over came a five month hip injury that put me on the shelf and really had me wondering if I was ever going to be the same again. My cycling season didn't produce many great individual results, but the team had some awesome performance and I definitely got stronger and enjoyed every race. Well, maybe I didn't really enjoy Lotoja, but I'm glad I stuck it out and finished strong. I applied to PA school, but didn't get in...bummer dude. I played really hard and made a lot of great memories along with some that I'd like to forget as well, but that's life, right?

Now is the time for new beginnings and with the entrance of the new year, we have the opportunity to change our lives in a positive way with the traditional new year's resolution. It's a funny concept, but one that we should all give a shot. I'm pretty awful with money and my resolution is to track my spending and come up with a budget plan. We'll see how it goes. Day 1 of 2011 and I spent $23 on checked bags for my flight tomorrow. Here we go.
