How was your 2006?

[MaryJaneintheCloset]

As 2007 is rapidly approaching, I've been thinking a lot about the year in review. I dare say it's been a pretty good year for my family and me, which included a new car, new friends, and some unexpected $$. This is probably the first "good" year we've had since our first son died 5 years ago... and I'm so happy to think that things are looking up. So I'm very grateful for what I have, and I'm looking forward to an even better 2007.

How was your year? Good? Bad? Any major events take place? And what would you like to accomplish in 2007? I myself would like to get into the shape of my life. :)

[Oneironaut]

Another lonely year of solitude. I'm 21 years old, and in my whole life I've managed to make only one good friend (who is currently in the process of turning into an unemployed alcoholic mooch) and I've never had a girlfriend. I wish I knew what was wrong with me. :( My goals for 2007 are to try to find out what it is and fix it.

[savagepossum]

2006 was probably the worst year of my life simply put

[Its a Plant]

Cheer up Oneironaut. Keep on keepin' on =)

As for my '06 . .

"There were the best of times, and the worst of times."

I still came out H A P P Y though.

And for that, I am thankful. ~

[Skink]

at my age if I can stay out of the hospital it's a good year...

I usually focus on the good that happened,,,and perceive the bad as a start of something good...

[Oneironaut]

Cheer up Oneironaut. Keep on keepin' on =)
That's easy to say when you're not lonely as hell, I'm sure. It's hard to cheer yourself up when there's nobody you can go to when you're feeling down.

[MastaChronic]

to put it bluntly
my year sucked hairy gorilla nuts

[Skink]

That's easy to say when you're not lonely as hell, I'm sure. It's hard to cheer yourself up when there's nobody you can go to when you're feeling down.
Hey,,, your not alone...

[MFer]

2006 was..OK.

Met a bunch of new people, who I'm still pretty good friends with.
Of course, lost some from complications, or distance.
First Concert, First Weed, First Alcohol this year.
Somehow, a really good friend got lost in a series of mix ups and my own damned stupidity...But we hung out yesterday, regardless, it was awkward.

[Jedi Hash]

Crap, crap year. One of my worst. However, it finished strong, and I am looking to have a great 2007!

[Matt the Funk]

Craziest year for sure.

[rottenPauL]

difficult, big changes happened to my life this year, but its all good now :D

[slipknotpsycho]

hardship after hardship... i'm afraid i have to say, this year has been one of the worst years of my life...

[orangeman]

Other than getting weed 2006 sucked big time. It was one of the worse years in my life. I am still having hope that the next year will bring bigger and better adventures and just give me one of the best years I'll ever have. I swear now that I look back on 2006 it was a short and bad fuckin' year. I feel like I have conquered another part of maturing and glad I made it out without doing something really stupid. I guess I was in denial that I was 16 and still discovering my self but I guess it was true. I feel a lot better about a lot of things I guess I never noticed up until '06. But anyways I hope '07 is much better :).

and i dunno what your problem is dude, you're like a cool guy, i've always thought so... keep your chin up and keep trying... i never really had many gfs or relationships either, but i found my wife.... and as far as friends, i've said it before, i've never at any point in my life ever had more friends (not just good ones) that i couldn't count them on one hand.... if you lived near me i'd love to hang out with you all the time..

[az666]

one of the most eventful and possibly worst years of my life...
not going to go into massive detail but to answer your questions.

Yeah it was an eventful year, major things that happened included admitting to myself and my long term girlfreind I was gay, lots of cancer in very close family, once again working full time after studying...all I care to think about at this time.

In 2007 I would like to sort my self out alot, I have some major changes to make in my life. Life choices I guess. And i'd like to save some money for further studying. Maybe move out of my parents house and in with a close friend if the finance side of things works out.

Thats about it, I hope everyone has a happy christmas (holiday if not xmas) and a very happy new year.
Take care

[chris420]

This year was good, it was very enlightening. As for the girls... I found out my first girlfriend was getting married after 1 week of us getting back or something like that. Its been a lonely year I guess, but the solitude has been beneficial for my spiritual awareness, etc. Im looking forward to travel a lot more next year as it would be my last year living in central america.

Oh btw, happy holidays my fellow potheads

[az666]

just have to add...(sorry about the double post )
Oneironaut I agree with Slipknotpsycho on this, I have always thought you were a really cool guy. One of the most intelligent and thought provoking posters I have seen on here. Yeah it probably doesn't mean much in text on the internet...just thought id share my honest opinion of you. I think it's a shame you don't post as much as you once did as I really did enjoyed reading your posts....but hey thats up to you. I honestly hope things are better for you in the new year. I wish you the best of luck in the future dude.

[big smoke07]

Not a good year for me at all. Got busted and then arrested in my front yard in front of family. Besides that this was a great year but that kind of fucked it up. 2007 isnt looking to much better either as that is when I will have court and I will find out whether I go to juvenile or probation. So either way 2007 is also going to be preety shitty. :(

Gotta keep on truckin though.

Thanks guys. I have no problems making myself seem cool online, since I can articulate myself better in writing than I can speaking. I always feel awkward in social situations, especially around people I don't know, and part of my problem is probably that I don't put enough effort into going out and meeting people. I also tend not to be very talkative (I'm bad at small talk and often just don't know what to say), but I've been working on that and I think I'm getting better.

I've thought it over a bowl or two and I've come to the conclusion that I need a new outlook on life. I've been just moping around in sadness about the crap that I have to deal with when I really should be trying to improve my life instead. All I can do is keep trying I guess. If I fail, I fail, but I have no excuse to complain if I don't try.

P.S. The reason I haven't been posting much is because I've just been so damn busy lately what with my new job and all. Plus, I've been out of bud a lot lately and I don't like coming here when I'm weedless (but I got an ounce now and I think a steady connection so that shouldn't be a problem anymore).

glad to hear it dude, you're too good of a person (well atleast from what i know online) to just give up on yourself.... the more and more you talk the more you remind me of ... me... i have those same problems, i really suck at small talk, infact i usually just end up sitting there in silence.. and i never really made much of an effort to go out... but there's not many places to go out (i live in a really small town...) if you're ever in SE texas, hit me up, even if it ain't to smoke or some shit, cuz i'd love to hang out with you...

[BizzleLuvin]

mine was good and bad. but overall, its been a very turbulent year.
the good:
got into college
went to spain for a month
got my tattoo
mom quit smoking
senior year was a breeze
dog lost a lot of weight
good grades this semester

the bad:
grandma died
my dog's (he is my everything) heath is declining rapidly
car accident that cost me a lot of money
a speeding ticket and a point and a half on my license

mom lost her job

[nikweiser]

wow this year was fucking crazy for me..
i moved out at the begining of the year as an experiment, to experiance what living on your own with out anyway of money is.. not to mention i moved across the hall from the biggest drug dealer in my town i could leap into his apartment from mine, and i have, just to say i could do it.. ive seen kilos upon kilos of yay, pounds on pounds of bud, thousands of pills, acid, shrooms anything you can think of... i became his right hand man and best friend. i had to get my way into selling for money since i couldnt find a job (yes i looked)
i experianced so many crazy things, ive gone on drug runs and crashed my car and saved my friends life from dying from stepping on glass an cutting his only artery in his foot after polishing off a fifth of crown.. my knife has been used in a double stabbing, ive been cited and searched from tons of police officers, ive had detectives in my room questioning me, ive been robbed, twice, my apartment has been raided because they fucked up and raided mine instead of my neighbors.. (before i sold) my grandpa died he was like a dad to me i love him so much. i have had a really rough year, TONS more stuff has happend and i have seen so many more crazy people i have hella crazy storys .. just ask if you wanna know really, its a pretty cool life lession i chose to live. i could go back to the wealthy fortunate life if i wanted to anyday, but i chose to live it rough
cant wait for 07

[RIP ODB]

The good -
Quit all other drugs, slowed down a LOT on the pot
Moved out of my parents' house
Been blessed with a lot of awesome people in my life

The bad -
Spent 3 months in rehab
Had to end a few friendships
VERY little punani
Moved away from all my weed connects!

[yoda]

i had a pretty good year, along with a pretty bad one too. these are what i can currently think of

the highlights: some of the ppl i met, some of the craziest parties, going back to school, switching jobs

the lows: realizing my new job isnt a whole lot better lol, realizing alot of the ppl i chilled with werent worth wasting my time on, getting into drugs for a 2nd time, a very good friend of mine had a close call

[the yeag]

pretty good not bad...lets see I worked about two and a half months made more than 65,000 and smoked a'lot of good dope

[Reefer Rogue]

I'm unsatisfied with 2006. It could have been a lot better for me.

[biohazard]

my 2006 was full of events... the most memorable is/was meeting mary jane. she is magical... i love her so much! good times lol.... now i smoke weed all the time :).

[lardman]

"There were the best of times, and the worst of times."

I still came out H A P P Y though.

And for that, I am thankful. ~

Very well put. I feel exactly the same. Keep on being happy! :D

[birdgirl73]

My 2006 was full of events and change. Some good, like leaving my job and entering medical school after wanting to do that for as long as I can remember. But one big one, my sister's illness and death, was the worst I've encountered. I'm hoping 2007 will be happier for my family and less eventful.

[SkatePopwar]

its been the most thought-provoking, life-changing amazing year of my life

[Pipe Dreams]

damn son my 2006 was epic son while we rep it up in the 352, we keep it real all day every day, i got locked up, fucked up, fucked with, pissed off, beat off, beat on, shot at.... My 2006 was pretty good over all :D

Are you in FL?

[Pipe Dreams]

Are you in FL?

[Gamma]

it was alright..alot of shit happened this year..good and bad

well first of all, i got into a university..pretty glad about that
hmm this is the year i was trying to "find" myself..i was diong stupid shit like X...was depressed for a bit..now im over all that
also..ended a 2 year relationship...
i had a nice vacation after i graduated from high school..i went to germany and italy..that was fun

next year should be a good year..i have a good feeling about that too

[Ae...]

Same as the last 18 years. Nothing special in the past, probably not much to look forward to in the future either.

I really should stop living life in auto-pilot...

[Wesley Pipes]

in short.... it sucked

except for meeting some great people from this site ;)

[couch-potato]

I really should stop living life in auto-pilot...


Don't know you, but you really should :thumbsup:

As for my 2006... I'm going to kick my life up a few notches for 2007 and beyond for sure... I spent WAY too much time thinking.,,

[anotherhippie]

I have to say this year has been up and down. There was a great uprising in solitude I've spent. I sware I had my first epiphany and many others to join it this year. I have become AWARE and have grown spiritually. Along with others in this thread, I too have not had luck with women. I just seem to look at it as if it isn't meant to be for me at this moment. I forget some quote or proverb but its something like....to walk thousands of miles begins with one step. So that's all we need to do, take that first step and many others to complete our journey...I hope i don't sound too much like a hippie. I am glad for one of many things though....that I have marijuana to help me and this website which i joined this year!! I know theres been low times and A LOT of HIGH times.....so I wait patiently to explore the next year and hope it will bring not only myself but everyone else a step closer to where we want and need to be! PEACE and LOVE!!!

[higher4hockey]

2006 was without a doubt the craziest year of my life. so many life changing events happened. basically when i look back 2006 has been the year i've grown up.

[ericwt]

All things considered... I made it through alive.

Spent 3 months following Nine Inch Nails on tour.

Smoked a massive amount of weed.

Faced some of my greatest fears and went beyond them.

On the other side...

Experienced a hellish divorce in which my ex wife betrayed me and tried to Narc out my grow op.

Lost my grow op and business because of the viper ex. Lost more than half my assets to her and lawyers.

I have had no weed for about 6 months. Learned what it is like to be not stoned all of the time.

Still...

I stayed out of prison.
Looked the "Man" right in the face and said "Come in and look around all you want"

I learned the importance of family and how much they mean to me.

I have learned about myself and I am stronger than I thought.

I dealt with the betrayal of my ex and did not kill her.

I realized that I can pick myself up and go on, regardless of my circumstances.

Finally I feel like I am on the right path. So life is good and I am expecting great things this next year.

My goal is to be higher and more abundant in 2007.

[wholapola]

The good:
Saw a lot of concerts-David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Priest, Seger..
Read a lot of books, finished The Dark Tower series

The bad:
My mother diagnosed with cancer

The laughable:
Listening to Carl Sagan (Cosmos, The Science Channel,"Who speaks for Earth") refer to Euclidian Geometry as 'a good read'--
yeah,right...(although a brilliant visionary)

[pixel]

shitty

[Nelf]

I had a pretty good year, some parts very scary (girlfriend pregnant) some parts very exhilarating (baby born). From the stress was born my love of mary jane :).

[xblackdogx]

i don't think about my life in "time periods"

but for those complaining about your lifes (and this won't apply to all of you); but it seems that the majority have WAY HIGH post counts. Not making judgements, but it may reflect the amount of time you spend on the internet when you could be doing something.

i think having a social life in a forum is great, because ideas can connect so fast, and build upon other ideas instantaneoulsy. However, when we go on the internet to talk on forums about stupid stuff, it's not spending your time productively.

[ATrain]

Year has been nice. No major changes. I am smoking more :D:rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: :rastasmoke:

If 2007 is shaping up like 06 I'll be cool with that.

[minnesota man]

Good and then bad and then great.

I don't like how I spent 2006. I think I'm going to make up for it in 2007. I'm going to kick it on its ass.

So nice to catch up and this thread is perfect for it. ty mjitc.

[S.P.Q.R.]

2006 was one of the worst years of my life.. It's ending pretty cool now, but the rest of the year sucked ass..

[tootsie roll]

Life in general has been "different" since 9/11 and my cousin made it out of WTC1 alive. The firsthand stories have impacted me and I see things from a "what if" point of view.

For the past year my health could have been better, then again, things could have been much worse.
We have our home, our babies, we have our vehicles, we have our toys, and my husband works his ass off for us. It's not easy to be a grown up with all kinds of responsibilities. I comes down to , If I don't do it, who else will. So I do things I never would have thought I'd do.lol
Here is saying goodbye to an "OK" 2006 and looking forward to a better, more well thought out 2007.:areindeer: :silly:

[MaryJaneintheCloset]

Good to see all of your updates! To those of you who had a shitty year, here's hoping to a badass 2007... much love to all! :)
