the last two years have been tough. paula and i separated and our marriage ended with a divorce only a few months ago. whilst also working way too much, it wasn't much of a surprise that burn-out symptons were starting to show. it's not something i wish upon anyone and i am thankful i was able to take a lengthier time off. during my stay in south africa and australia i was able to slowly start getting better. so with all that and so much more, i am looking forward to 2012. i have a feeling that it's going to be a good one again. so here's what i am hoping to achieve:

• visit australia and research the possibility of emmigrating
• learn how to surf
• learn more about finance
• find better ways to invest and secure assets
• continue to visit the gym at least 3 times a week
• continue to eat and chew well
• continue to find a medical practitioner or ways to heal my daily aching screwed shoulder
• watch less telly and read more
• work on another groovy and grails project
• ...and of course to have a blast with family and friends
