"Oh, you know, strikes and gutters, ups and downs"

I looked at my calendar this weekend and realised that in roughly 8 weeks, 2010 will be in the history books. This year has flown by so much faster than any other year I can remember and it’s had its share strikes and gutters. Here’s a list of the good and the bad of this, the whirlwind that was 2010.


Strikes

Actually blogging
My missus, Dani, starting her clothing label, Heroine (find it on Twitter as well)
Jack White
Spencer Krug
Son House
Inception
CBD living
VIP weekend at Rocking The Daisies
The Football World Cup
Liverpool 2 – 0 Chelsea
Under Great White Northern Lights
New Macbeth’s
For Jacques – Finally getting those Air Force One’s
Getting a promotion at work, Content Manager now kids, get it right.
For Sven and Milli – The Pits playing gigs.
For Sieg – FINALLY moving to Cape Town from Pretoria
Making new friends online, still a concept that boggles my simple mind.


Gutters


The theft of my beloved Xbox
Me washing my iPod
Liverpool being kak
Terrible bands touring South Africa
Not qualifying for the second round of the World Cup. Bafana we still love you lots.
For Louis – Province not winning the Currie Cup

That is all I can think of for now, but I may or may not add some more to the list at some point. Overall the year has been a pretty even blend of good and bad, but I’m smiling more than frowning and the beers are still flowing regularly, so who’s to complain?
