2014 -> 2015

2014 was an interesting year. There were ups and there were downs. I explored a bit outside of my comfort zone. Friends visited me and I visited friends. I ventured off of the continental US twice. Experienced my first all-expenses-paid trip to play Magic. Didn't play as much Magic as I have in the past few years. Played weekly pick-up soccer. (also known as "run around for an hour" for me.) Completed a Warrior Dash and a Tough Mudder. Attended my first three weddings. Attended my first three pay-to-attend concerts. Returned to the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival after a break in 2013, this time as flag catcher, drummer and paddler. Did not shave during the month of November and learned how much of a struggle it is for some Asians to grow facial hair. Worked some crazy hours towards the end of the year as crunch time approaches. I had some lofty aspirations for 2014, but made a less-than-half-assed attempt to see those aspirations and instead did a lot of research to learn how I can get there after failure after failure.

Hoping for a better 2015 in every possible way.

And now, the obligatory photoblog:

I made a painting

ROBO TACO in Portland - surprisingly good
