2010
Hooray~! 2010 is here… Wait a minute… It’s almost March… Curse you calendar! …I’m sorry calendar, I don’t mean it, you’re awesome.
I really haven’t written anything in 3 months, this is terrible. I actually meant to write this New Years post around New Years, but you can see how well that turned out. 
The good news is that I now have a lot to say, so perhaps I’ll space them out into a few entries.
This one will be about the fact that it is now 2010, and what this year means to me. You know, general New Year’s resolutions and such.
It’s almost the end of this decade already, the “Noughties” I believe people are calling it. Honestly, who came up with that name? Why not call it something awesome like the “Zeroes”. That’d be much better. What I’m also wondering is what the next decade (in 2011) will be called. It’s kind of strange, just like this decade, which is clear seeing as they ended up calling it the noughties… <_< I reckon they’ll probably end up calling it either the “Tens” or the “Teens”, most likely the latter. It doesn’t make any sense until 2013 though…
Also, what are you all refering to this year as? “Two Thousand and Ten” or “Twenty-Ten”? I believe there was actually a discussion on this last year on some website, or discussion paper. Anyway, I personally think that everyone should start calling this year “Twenty-Ten”, and “Twenty-X” thereafter. I don’t believe that hanging onto the past and insisting on calling it “Two Thousand and Ten” is int he spirit of this year at all. Time is clearly changing, people, technology and such.
That’s what 2010 is for me, a year to initiate change. This decade has been great, I really have discovered so much more about myself, especially these last two years. You may not believe me, but I only got deeper into computers in 2004, when the first version of ShadowThief.com began. I got more into the Internet, more into web design, and more into computers in the next few years. Now look at me, computers are my life. Before it was just a general interest in computers and technology, but no real knowledge of them.
Anyway, I believe this year is about change. There are so many things I feel I need to do: make new friends, get my provisional driver’s licence, get a car, get a job… I feel my life needs developing this year. These last few years I haven’t done much with my friends, I’ve been focused on other things. I really would have liked to have spent a lot more time doing things that I enjoy with them, things that are really just plain fun and exciting. I also need to make myself independant and ready to move out, so I can go to university in Canberra or Armidale next year. I’m really looking forward to it, so I need to put in a lot of effort this year.
..Which brings me to my New Year’s resolution. This year, I resolve to be more productive. I’m doing a Diploma of IT at TAFE this year while I work on becoming independant, so I’ll be making an effort trying to get all that work finished on time. I’ll try (yet again ) to write blog entries frequently, and also continue working on those projects I’ve been meaning to do. One of the ones I need to work on is actually the new layout for this blog, so hopefully I’ll be able to manage my time well enough to work on it and get that finished soon. 
That’s about all I have for this entry. But I’ve got a few more topics in stock. Just so I don’t forget, they will most likely be about my Brisbane trip to see my favourite band, my experiences starting TAFE this year, possibly another one I’ve forgotten, and hopefuly regular updates on projects I’m working on.
So, to me this year is about change and developing myself for the future. Here’s hoping it all goes well for everyone.
Happy New Year.

I’m not exactly sure if they ship to Australia or not at this stage, probably becaue I haven’t checked, but if they don’t, somebody is going to have to get it for me and post it to me.
