Best: finding a good lady, getting back into riding, getting my '74 Raleigh, learning a lot of new things, getting my MS, starting my Roth IRA, and building up my fixie flip-flop to close out the year.
Worst: my girl breaking her arm and being unable to ride for a few months, living in a town that still has winter, my car getting hit twice... that's about it. A pretty good year!

Best: Meeting a girl I truely loved, having lots of great sex, and not having a job/school and ****ing off for the year.
Worst: losing a best friend because I fell in love with his girlfriend, finding out the girl I fell in love with didn't have the same feelings, having to move to NC, and getting in trouble with the law (court date in January). Ugh.
It was a rough/emotional year.

Oh, I thought this was bike **** only. Then the worst was definitely losing two of my uncles to cancer. And the best would be summer vacation. Best time of my life.
