almost a year ago i made a blog post listing a bunch of things. here they are…

January 17, 2008 i wrote these:

- sister still pregnant, expecting end of month delivery.
- online Audio course is crap.
- weather is beautiful, but a bit windy.
- can’t wait for Cloverfield to get released here.
- darjeeling limited just released in theaters here.
- maybe i should just rent the DVD of Cloverfield when I get back to Chicago.
- current song: Ozzy - Goodbye to Romance.
- iPhone still working; unlocked and on a prepay sim. fantastic.
- i don’t get charged for incoming calls or incoming text messages (SMS). brilliant.
- not taking enough photos. that should change in the coming days, possibly hours.
- my sister just said she has to go “pee pee”. baby talk has begun.
- my dreams have been crazy as of late.
- planning on a sailing trip for monday in the indian ocean. hopefully some sharks will come out.
- goal for the rest of the month: see a shark in the wild…from a safe distance. :)

today i write these:

- sister is pregnant, again.
- online project management class hasn’t begun yet. but i’m sure it’ll suck.
- weather is terrible…cold, windy and snowy.
- i still want to go see slumdog millionaire
- notorious just released in theaters here.
- current song: Brazilian Girls - Good Time
- iPhone 3G now, still working. jailbroken, but not unlocked.
- my phone bill has never been hire and i can never seem to have enough minutes.
- i’m still not taking a lot of photos, but i did buy a flickr pro account for some reason.
- i’m sure if i called my sister right now, the baby talk would still be happening.
- the other night i dreamt that i beat the crap out of this kid.
- this monday i have classes for 9 hours. i hope it’s not too cold.
- goal for the rest of the month: get a job.

ok, so when i decided to do this, i didn’t think it’d be as terrible as it is. well you know by now, you read it. my how things are different. dammit this better not effect the rest of my day.

it’s been just about a year since helloBos began as a simple blog that provided some sort of microscopic view of my travels, experiences, photos, friends, et ecetera. today i looked at my google analytics to see where in the world has helloBos been viewed and it’s exciting for me to say that it’s been viewed on every conteninent except for antartica. which isn’t really that much of a continent if you ask me. it’s cool, no pun intended, but continent, come on, lets get serious, i’m barely giving australia a pass here…

but the fact is, helloBos has stretched the globe, whether it was the one his from Laos or Chile, to the hundreds of hits from tinsle town, lala land, hollywood…it’s pretty cool that my life has been broadcast to you through this medium. (sidenote: whoever it is in hollywood that’s reading helloBos, i’m easy to reach, let’s talk. make me famous.)

life has definitely changed in this past year or so. it’s hard to look back and pick out specific examples of what has been change for the better and what has been difficult, but i know i have this feeling right now that things are completely different than what they were a year ago. i do feel older, more mature. i would say my maturity level is probably still at the third grade level but furthur into the school year, like after parent teacher confrences.

it’s funny though. life that is, i’m still on that subject. i guess i could’ve predicted what today would be like a year ago when i started this blog… minus the whole black president thing. i don’t think any of us saw that coming, but thank goodness it did… i hope.

but even so, i can tell you this much… i have no idea what to expect a year from now. and i don’t know if that’s exciting or scary for me yet. right now, a bit more scary…but this is only the beginning; again.
