You know, the very fact that you're able to talk about this in the open with us has to mean something good. I wish I could have something more to offer you that written posts. You seem like a great guy to hang around with.

You and your avatar are plenty. Empty all day but one look at that avatar has me giggling like an idiot.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI look upon your list of woes; I have a feeling and can't describe it.
As bad as life seemed to have been, through your own strength, you survived it.
A win in Court. A new abode. An interview you aced.
I wish you could see your great victories and not just adversities faced.
Its true sometimes, friends cannot stay. Its true sometimes good people die.
Its way beyond my reason and logic to give a good answer to: "Why?"
As I sit here at my desk (alone too) wanting to help, eyes full of frustrated tears,
I want you to know, when things feel their lowest PLEASE know WE will ALWAYS be here.
I have no doubt that things will pick up for you, man. More Fabio?
"My heat doesn't work"
I read that as heart, so it could have been worse!
Seriously, though, I hope next year is better.
We are all truly grateful on the work you've put in for this site.
You're one of the smartest and wisest guys I've ever chatted with in the forums.
Hang in there, Yoda. I hope 2011 is better for all of us. For one thing, the 3DS is coming out so that should be one thing to smile about!

WTF March 26 - I get the job.
LOL
Here is my year:
It sucks.
My year is like a rotten orange that someone crushes with his foot onto a dirty sidewalk.
At least be consoled Yoda that there are other people suffering.
...Yeah, should and should not go without saying: I wish the very best for you too, Vader!
You forgot to mention
June 26 Fedor lost

Hey now. 2010 was a pretty good year for me. Sure work was on and off, but work is nothing more than breaks between training anyway.
For the rest of you, yes, life does indeed suck
2010 was the year I started to notice that my hair is showing the early signs of thinning. For someone with a sexy mane like mine that's pretty bad. Fortunately I've identified the problem early and am fighting it every way I can. Other than that, things were good this year. In the meantime, here's to 2011 being a better year for everyone who needs it to be.
