    That is pretty much how I feel, my main goal was to get my business started which is what I've done. Every year I try to set some weird goal that pushes me to work harder.. Next year would be to bring in 6 figures before taxes and hit about $60k in sales in a month with my business.

    On a personal level.. just being able to watch my son grow up is good enough for me.

    Lets see what all happened to me in '06...

    1) Was hit by a DUI on my bike
    2) Spent my 21st Bday in a wheelchair due to that
    3) Got a decent settlement, bought a skyline and saved the rest
    4) Blew the motor in the SRT4
    5) Now I'm about to get a new bike before '07. Only a week left so I better hurry lol

    I don't know, despite all the bads, I still enjoyed my '06. I'm the kind of person that lets the past keep me down. All I care about is the future, and winning the lottery

    Current Toy: A few classics, maybe a few imports too. Whatever

    I'd say it was pretty good.

    Got out of a useless relationship and into a damn good one
    Did a lot of driving, exploring GA and the southeast
    Met a TON of great new people
    Modded the hell out of my little car
    Great raise and bonus at my job, another one coming in about 2 months

    Looking even better for 2007

    i did pretty good, my new years resolution was to get the hell away from Geico, i left on January 20th (i dont waste time)

    then spent 6 weeks at home mooching on my 401k, decided to finally get a job, took a job as another pencil pusher, and before i could even start the company called back and said they couldnt hire the people they intended to hire b/c the FCC blocked the acquisition which was making it possible, that same day i was offered my current job, not something i figured id like but its turned out to be the best job ive had so far, good pay, good people, minimal bullshit

    got run the hell over on my bike while on vacation in july (not one of my new years resolutions), spent 2 months in physical therapy and unable to work, thank you U.S. Air Force for running me the fuck over

    only run through 4 cars this year, and the totaled bike, bought a new house in october, and me and the wife are trying for child #2

    so all things considered, not the best year, but it has been my best year since leaving home

    2006 sucked. I don't expect 2007 to be any better.

    2006 was okay, Started off great then just kinda died down the second half of the year, I hope '07 is a good one.
