Two Thousand and Seven
31st December, 2007
Blog, Life,
A lot has changed in 2007, for me, and everyone. So I figured it was time for a review (and hey, everyone else tries to do one...).
The year started off with me moving to a faster internet service (ie ADSL2), with iiNet, which made things much easier, becuase unlike 2 years before it, 512/128 just did not cut it anymore. But while I celebrated for speed, others celebrated for a totally different reason, but that didn't last long.
In March, Sydney decided to put the environment before itself, and together, we turned off our lights for an hour, and saw drop in usage of about 10%!
In April, America yet again came into the spotlight, when it proved that its Gun Laws really do need a review, when a student at a American University killed 32 people. Unfortunately, violence sometimes comes to play very close to home.
In July, I put the pen down for the last time, as I completed my final exam required to complete my Bachelor of Computer Science. Also in July, I was able to work at and enjoy the atmosphere of Live Earth, Sydney, which ended up not being too bad at the end of the day. Oh and who can forget that also in July, smoking was finally banned in pubs and clubs in NSW and Victoria. Making these places more appealing for non-smokers.
In September, after having received my results for everything, I graduated! In 2007, I was also able to grow some bad habits, which have unfortunately not been able to shake yet. Tho, maybe that is for the best.
In October, I went away with work to at the Bathurst 1000. Fun times were had, and I will never look at a car race the same way again. It is just a tad different to watching it on TV, when you can hear, and smell the atmosphere. Even the toughest of critics may be swayed. It was also in October, that Australia was fasinated by big flying things.
In the lead up to the end of the year, unfortunately this happened. Saddness broke out everywhere, even in Australia.
In the home straight of the year, I was offered a position at work, that I had applied for, and started in early December, and have almost racked up 4 weeks there! :) And I got a PSP (but thats a story for another article :))
In Politics, we saw a few common names go, and new ones come (finally) and hopefully bring about a needed change.
So, like most years, while there was a bunch of good, I sometimes did make a silly decision or two, but in the end, I did achieve some really big goals. Lucky I didn't make this mistake.
To finish off the year in review, a look back at some of those faces that we will no longer see anymore: Anna Nicole Smith, Billy Thorpe, Boris Yeltsin, Bobby Pickett, Stan Zemanek, Benazir Bhutto.
I know I have most likely forgotten some really important parts of 2007, but that will do for now. I know for sure tho, that next year will contain something about this.
I leave you with a song that made 2007.

Well this year is almost over, and as the year starts to fade into the sunset and while we wait for the sky to be lit up with taxpayers money, I share the following YouTube Clip with you (care of James Dumay).
