Wednesday, January 9th, 2019When I turned 30, if someone had told me that my 30s would be harder than my 20s, I would have listened but shrugged it off. As they say: hindsight is 20/20. I came into 30 pretty good, but nervous. I already knew I would be leaving the old house. Outside of that everything was […]
2017: Gooch Year 38–The Lost Year
Tuesday, January 9th, 2018I haven’t written one of these birthday wrap-ups in a couple of years. Here’s the summary of those missed years.: 36 (2015): Happy to have a job, met someone who I seriously fell in love with, moved her in to my apartment, Bermuda cruise, she moved back home and that sucked a lot. 37 (2016): […]
2014: Gooch Year 35 – ???
Monday, February 2nd, 2015I know this is late going up. Most of this was written before my birthday. I don’t know what to call 35/2014. It started out with me in probably what has been the worst mental state in my life to date. It ended with me being quite happy and feeling like I can really get […]
2013: Gooch Year 34 – A Slide Into the Abyss
Saturday, January 11th, 2014I wish I could say that I’m heading into 35 in a positive direction. Unfortunately, I’m ending 34 in probably my worse mental state ever. Yes it mostly has to do with my continuing unemployment. I had lots of enthusiasm heading into 34, feeling as if something would be heading my way at some point […]
2011: Gooch Year 32 – Getting Back To Myself
Tuesday, January 10th, 20122011 was what I would call a transition year. I started getting back to myself. I started taking doing things that I like to do. I started worrying about me. It was the year where, by the end, I figured out that I will probably be alone for a while, and maybe even the rest […]
Birthday Weekend
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011Somehow, I got to have a nice long birthday weekend. It started Thursday night, when a good friend of mine took me out for sushi last minute. Friday, was another last minute dinner date with a friend that I hadn’t seen in a while. Saturday was dinner with Mom (Outback has a very nice ribeye […]
2010: Gooch Year 31 – Good Riddance!
Sunday, January 9th, 20112010! It’s gone and past and now it’s my birthday and so I review the year that was for me. There was so much this year: Lunacon, the end of 24 and Lost, one of my best friends got married, the Yankees having an ok season and losing to the Texas Rangers in the ALCS, […]
Still Here!
Monday, February 22nd, 2010I’m still around. I’ve been doing the daily grind and weekends have been busy. Had a nice Valentine’s. This past Saturday, Jo and I spent the day at Faire with a good friend of ours. Spring training is finally here! I’m excited to see what the Yankees do. I’m damn sure going to try and […]
The Top 5 of 30
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010I started this post well before my birthday january 9th, but haven’t gotten to post it for various reasons (mainly laziness), so it may sound dated. This birthday, I’m presenting the top 5 of 30. Lots of various events have happened during this year of life (some significant, some not) that have made this year […]
2010 Is Here . . .
Monday, January 4th, 2010. . . and with it, the end of the holidays and the return of the daily grind. No more short weeks (well at least for 2 weeks). Hope everyone had a good holiday season and is ready to get back it with much vim and vigor. Oh who am I kidding? I don’t want […]
