In a couple of hours it'll be 2013. Here's wishing everyone a meaningful New Year's eve, and a happy and prosperous 2013.

Looking back at the year that was....

About a year ago I was hoping that 2012 would turn out to be a better year that 2011. With five days left, well, was it really better? I suppose it was, though it was not the home run I had been wishing for. Embroiled in a lot of work though, and got to travel more than I usually do, which to be honest, seemed rather meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I did a lot...but it really didn't seem as if I accomplished a lot if you know what I mean. Like a hamster in a hamster wheel. Life has apparently made me insensitive to the simple things...simple things that once, I guess, brought me uncomplicated joy, but now are simply set aside as an eventuality of life.

Methinks blogging has lost its charm....

It's been more than two months since I last posted a blog entry. For some reason I just couldn't be bothered anymore. I've been blogging for almost eight years now. It used to be a lot of fun. Now, It just seems like a lot of work, when I can easily express myself with a few keystrokes on Facebook or Twitter . I don't get as much visitors as I used too.
