I was having a late night talk with my long time good friend, reminiscing on the crazy things I've done and how much has happened in the past decade, year, month and week.  Like clockwork, in my typical fashion, whenever one year is about to end, I start an obsessive account on things I've learned, how this year was better than the last and if I've accomplished enough.

My friend let me psycho babble long enough for the ice in our glass of Jack to begin melting and then he just reminded me that even when the months were bad, they were still good.  He then linked me to the image of text above and I just thought it encompassed this year and life in a general nutshell, so well.

I'm usually not a fan of posting quoted text, but this one's a good one.

This year has taken me to far places, taught me a great deal about myself, LOTS of incredible noms and included many serendipitous encounters.

So in a few days I'll bid 2011 a bittersweet adieu.

My two favorite lines above.
Fall in love. Fall out of love. Fall in Love. Fall out of love. Do this all over until you know what it really is to love someone.

Make something beautiful and then destroy it.
