short retrospective on 2009

I am going to be pretty brief here because I don't feel like spending hours and hours typing out an entry of one sort or another.

( Summary of Mark's 2009: probably the best year I have ever had, bar none. )

There were definitely some moments in the year that were pretty stressful, and some things that I wished would have gone differently, but overall I don't think the negative parts of this year are really worth mentioning.

2009: you were awesome. 2010: you've got a lot to live up to!
