Yes, I'm doing a Year in review for 2019, a year where I only posted one post, the previous year's in review. 😐
1. What did you do in 2019 that you'd never done before?
Yeah, no. At least this year wasn't too bad...
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't make one last year, not making one for this year either.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
One of best friends had twins! A couple of co-workers and a friend from my old university also had babies 👶
4. Did anyone close to you die?
An older cousin of mine died in late May-early June.
5. What countries did you visit?
I haven't left my state this year, let alone out of the country. (Yeah, I copy+pasted that from last year)
6. What would you like to have in 2020 that you lacked in 2019?
My own place. I'll keep saying this until I, at least do something about it.
7. What dates from 2019 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
May 25- KKK came to Dayton. A series of tornadoes followed the Monday after.
June 3rd- My cousin married a former co-worker. The week after, his father's funeral.
August 3rd- A shooting happened in an area I frequent. 11 people died and I've been too scared to go into that area since.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Um, I finally got a blu ray player...
9. What was your biggest failure?
The whole job thing that was listed for last year happened earlier this year. Not sure why I listed it for happening last year.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I think I caught a bug from work but I powered through it.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
See answer #8...actually, I didn't buy that. I won it at work.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My cousin getting married to a former co-worker this summer.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
In 2019, where do I even start?
14. Where did most of your money go?
Materialistic things that only brought me temporary happiness. God knows how much was spent on Asian take out.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Megabeast Investigator Juspion on Blu-Ray. I actually won a blu-ray player from work just for the series. Sad, right?
16. What song will always remind you of 2019?
Um...
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
-Happier or sadder: Hate to admit but sadder.
-thinner or fatter: According to a recent doctors appointment, a LOT fatter.
-Richer or poorer: A tad poorer but I'll still spend.
(Yes, this was copy+pasted from last year's list but that was completed earlier this year so not much changed)
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Writing, including keeping up on this blog. I had a big ol' case of writer's block for most of the year and when that wasn't the problem, I just had 0% motivation.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Complain about how much I don't like my job or living situation but yet do nothing about changing either.
20. How was your Christmas spent?
This is being written a couple of days before Christmas.
21. Did you fall in love in 2019?
As always, I fall in love all the time.
22. Did your heart break in 2019?
Comes with always falling in love.
23. What was your favorite TV program?
I really didn't watch TV this year. I began going to bed early as a result.

31. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Synthwave, synth music influenced by 80s music and video games.
32. What did you want and get?
See answer #8
33. What did you want and not get?
Love, a better job, better living arrangements. I'm sure there's more to list but this list shouldn't be anymore depressing.

"Dolemite is my name". "Joker" wasn't terrible, though.

37. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2019?
At work, a blue collar schlub. Off work, black hipster.
38. What kept you sane?
For 2019, it was being around people. Whether it was being at a job I'm unhappy with or the death of a family member, people made me laugh and smile. Some just talked to me or listened to me talk. It was good because I just felt very alone this year.
39. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?

Getting into a near shouting match with a supervisor over whether or not I should be employee of month again.
46. What was your most embarrassing moment of 2019?
See answer to previous question. Anything else embarrassing is most likely work related.
47. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2019?
Best one I can think of for this year; be excellent to each other.
48. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"This life shit, this life shit is like
Is like bugged the fuck out, son, for real
See, to live is to suffer
But to survive…
Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering"
DMX- "Slippin'" 🐕
(It was that kinda year)

Super Duper Senior expands...?
Hey, ya'll,
A while back, I realized that I've had this blog for over 6 years. Though it has been fun sharing my stories of my joys, pains and geekdom with my readers, I feel that this blog is in need of something...more. I'm not talking about giving the blog up but wanting to expand. I am a writer, I've done it professionally, and it was with the help of this blog, along with writing classes, that have helped me become a better writer. I want to use these skills (that I think I have, I know I'm not the greatest) and my awkward, dry sense of humor to reach new heights.
Am I about to start asking for cash? Not that I can think of, but I won't complain if you wanna give me some. I do want to begin doing things such as interviews and podcast but I wouldn't know where to begin with podcasts. I guess I can ask for help.
"But Super Duper Senior, if you don't want our money, what do you want from me?"Well, maybe you, yes, YOU, can spread the word about my blog. It'd be nice for people to leave comments. I want to know if people agree, disagree, feel neutral or just want to tell me to shut up already.
In the end, I want to make my blog more entertaining, not only for myself but for you all too. I also think, in my head, that it takes more than talking about emotions and likes to get noticed in the world. Again, that may just be me...
P.S. If you're a professional writer reading this and am intrigued about anything I've written professionally, please leave a comment in the comment section and let me know.
