I probably could have thought of a better title for this entry.

Here's a quick recap of 2009:

Jan-April kinda sucked. We were bored and depressed, job-less and living in a place we hated with people we didn't like- not friends and family of course, we wouldn't be friends with people we didn't like. However, when you live in a small city you tend to run into every person you've ever come into contact with. You might think you are someone who likes everyone, but you're lying, even if you do like everyone, someone definitely doesn't like you. There are a lot of people that I don't like, that's for sure.

So we decided to go elsewhere and do elsethings...So we started looking for apartments in Toronto in May. After several day trips to the city, we found one, packed up our shit and with our guinea pig in tow, we got the eff out. I got an internship at a talent agency and a weekend job at a kids party place. Carey got a job in the new-media advertising field. He works campaign to campaign which gives him down time in between to keep writing and working on film stuff. He also got an agent for extra work and has enjoyed some of that as well.

Now entering our 9th month of common law-ism(?), we have adjusted, settled in and are ready to start a great new year. My internship has ended and I have developed an interest in Casting. I am currently training someone to take over my position and in the next few weeks will start looking for an assistant position with a casting director. Carey has been working quite hard and will hopefully have some time to finish up a few projects and start working on his dramatic series pilot.

That probably all sounds good and well, but don't get me wrong, 2009 was like a long distance swimming pool of shit that we had to breast stroke our way through to get here. I will touch on all that stuff along the way. But as for right now I'm going to focus on the positive. After working practically 7 days a week for the last 6 months, I really embraced the last 2 weeks. Carey brought me home to St. Catharines for the holidays. He had to go back and work the campaign through to boxing day. I stayed at my grandmother's which was horrible for my allergies, but I got to spend some time with friends and family. Carey came down and we had a late Christmas and got spoiled with gifts and a few days of relaxation. I learned that I dont mind shopping and dragged Carey around for several days of boxing week deals. I made out like a bandit, but Carey only got Assassin's Creed 2-which he can't even play till we get home. Last night was alright, it could have been a lot better, there were many factors that contributed to that, but all in all I'm glad I got to wear my new shoes.

So that brings me to today. New Years Day. Our last day of laziness. We watched the entire first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and just started True Blood- I'm a bit of a TV Junkie but we'll get into that later. Tomorrow we head back to Toronto. We will throw out the old to make room for the new and spend the next 2 days getting ready to go back to work.

So Anyways, as 1 of my 5 new year resolutions I am starting a blog. I think it will be fun next year to look back on all the crap I thought about/did in 2010. I guess I could start by touching on what the other 4 resolutions are.

1-Start a blog- which we have already established
2-Experiment more with my allergy free recipes-you'll hear all about that later
3-See more movies- I have been so swamped with television I haven't had time
4-Finish all the books that I have started reading- I have about 9 going right now
5-Go somewhere- any vacation will do, even if it's 2 days

So I guess we'll see what happens...

P.S. I'm not deep, so if you're looking for that kinda shit, you wont find it here.
