So i thought seeing as i haven't blogged in awhile that i would just sum up 2009 early as i am running low on inspiration for blogs these days!
So let me recap!
January i went to Rome, it was great to finally get a holiday. January wasn't a particularly great time of year for me and it was a welcome distraction! Plenty of good food, some good banter with Paul Maybing and Neiller and plenty of Peroni and Pizza!!!
I very much doubt i am going to go month by month because my memory is pretty crap!
After easter i decided i would visit my old church again at Craigmore, i don't really know why i took the urge to go but i went, and it was a little odd. Here i am now in December though and i am back at church, back playing in the band and back serving in the Youth Club, God really does look after His prodigals, at this point i would like to highlight "the crew" as they have called themselves! Thank You for the love and support you guys have given me since i have been back, you will never know how much it means to me!
May/June brought the end of an era to a close as i said my goodbyes to the big smoke and moved back home! The end of the centre, the end of seeing my two best friends every morning for coolios frys and clements coffee and scones! (I'm sure it will do wonders for my wasteline). Nick and Neiller thank you for making this year a good one and an easy one for me to get through! Although the Triple N is dispanded we still manage to meet now and again for Steak Stella and Sinema.
26th June 2009 What were you doing when Michael Jackson died??? I can say i was having a laugh being invited to Helen's BBQ just so that i would do the BBQing! I jest, having a laugh with a few of my nearest and dearest playing Rapidough!!! CINDERALLA!!!!!
In June i also moved O2 stores, my pastures anew were Portadown. What can i say about Portadown? Well, i can say the people i worked there with are absolute legends, i mean guys, it was just meant to be one! As of November i have been shipped off to O2 Lisburn which is very handy and good for the back pocket, especially now that the Sky man is a coming to give me Sky Sports!! Yes no longer shall i have to miss a single over in test cricket, no longer will i miss my beloved Tottenham on the TV!!!
In the summer i managed to make it to Summer Madness again, to co-lead the activities team with my friend Lynne, needless to say Lynne did most of the work!!! But it was good to make new friends on the team and to see friends of old!!!
Neiller and i took a road trip to Dublin/Wicklow for a H-themed party, i blatantly copied Neiller's idea and dressed in school uniform and pretended i was of course from High School Musical, my original idea was to go as Baywatch 2009 The Hoff, but i didnt like the idea of wandering around in red speedos all day long!!! I think i mentioned the story of Gol in an earlier post and the friendship that i have from that night! Wadey Wade Wade!!!!!
Nick and I hit Dublin to see U2, what a gig and what a night afterwards! Thanks to Chris for driving us down and the fun we had in McDonalds and the cheeky bint of a hotel receptionist! Whatever the heck her name was!!!
2009 has had a lot of laughs and a lot of lows but i have had such a good year! I got to go stay in Glasgow for 5 days with my friend Rachael, visit my wee brother, eat a heck of a lot of good food and got subjected to the x factor :(
God has been good to me this year and has been good to my friends too! Prayers have been answered and that is awesome!!!!
December has been mental! Working like crazy, everybody seems to want Samsung Tocco Lites, or Samsung Genios!!! Crazy! How could i not forget the first Saw movie night! gutted to miss part 2 but will be caught up for part 3!!!!
I think i will end this post with some of my must haves of 2009.
Album of the year: Spring Tides by Jeniferever
An easy pick, its been a constant since i picked it up in April this year, the band probably wouldn't be everyones cup of tea, but their blend of keys, strings and melodys chill to bone at times and always leave me satisfied, if you ever get the chance turn all the lights out and listen to Ox-Eye with headphones in, i guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Song of the year: How to Save a Life by The Fray
A hard one this was and it was a tough choice, i got to see The Fray live in the Ulster Hall in Belfast and at one point i actually got to do a little bit of worshiping when they sung 40 by U2 for those of you out their wise enough 40 is basically Psalm 40. Why how to save a life? well its the first secular song i learnt on the guitar and i would now say i can play it pretty well!!!!
Signing of the Season: Niko Kranjcar
What can i say, young Niko has been a revelation since joining the club and little Luka Modric will find it tough ousting him from the Tottenham team.
Film of the year: Star Trek
Not more to say than OH MY WORD, what a magnificent piece of cinema, a film that appealed to the trekkies and to the non trekkies, Zachary Quinto was well cast as Spock and it had the right mix of cheese for me to be ok with it!!! It was a hard choice with films like Avatar and District 9 also blowing my mind this year
Frivolous Purchase of the Year : Samsung 32" TV
This was a tight one, with such frivolous purchases as a Sony PS3, iPhone, Sky all coming close in a tight race. But my TV kicks ass, and Star Trek looks awesome on it, as does Battlestar Galactica!!!
Website of the year: http://aiizstore.com
nuff said, cheap kick ass football shirts
And i cant think of much more else! I hope you have enjoyed my years review and i hope you have an awesome 2010!!!!
Ciao
