#best09 Day 17 Three in five minutes? Insane!
Day 17 Best word or phrase: A word that encapsulates your year. “2009 was _____.”
I did a lot of this, this year.
Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn’t.

Day 16 Best Tea: I can taste my favorite tea right now. What’s yours?
I can’t really speak for this. I only just recently discovered tea. By just recently I mean three days ago. I decided to buy a few bags of raspberry (I always forget that damn p). So far it’s been the best tea ever. Well I guess unless you want to count all the damn peach iced tea Snapple I drink. I...
#best09 Day 15 Earliest post ever. I suck.
Day 15 Best Packaging Evar: Did your headphones come in a sweet case? See a bottle of tea in another country that stood off the shelves?
I honestly thought I was going to have trouble with this one. I couldn’t recall seeing at at a store or bying anything online that came in an interesting looking package. I went to (like I have for nearly every other #best09) facebook for help. Hoping that...
Being that I'm hateful of all things Apple (yes...
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while...

Day 14 Best Rush: When did you get your best rush of the year?
Probably my favorite feeling in the world is when I suggest something to someone, be it a book, a TV show, website anything. There’s something gratifying about knowing a person well enough to say to them “Read this. You will like it.” I told a friend to start reading Ender’s Game this year and then later...
#best09 Day 11 & 12 Whaaaaat?
Day 11 The Best Place: A coffee shop? A pub? A retreat center? A cubicle? A nook?
I don’t think I can respond to this post well. Not because I haven’t discovered any new places to hang out anything of the sort but because I am a firm believer in the idea that it’s not the place that makes a location exciting, but that people you share it with. I could tell you of all about the...

Day 10 Best Album: What’s rocking your world?
I can’t even think of what to say here. I want to give some kind of epic introduction to the album I listened to the most this year. It’s an old album older than me and probably you. It’s not even a genre a care for. Regardless of this though Led Zeppelin 1 is the album I go back to time and time again when all I want to do is...
WatchI must say, I’m actually kind proud of this. A friend challenged me to make a playlist for Pokémon trainers and me and another close friend did just that.
#best09 Day 7 edit
You know, now that I think about it. I do read a lot of blogs. The only thing is that I don’t really follow any. I’ve been using StumbleUpon for nearly five years now and I use it a lot. Like more than I probably should. In doing so I happen to stumble on a lot of blogs and read nearly every article that it leads me to. So I do read a lot of blogs and I probably did discover some great...
#best09 Day 8 Moment of Peace
Day 8 Best Moment of peace An hour or a day or a week of solitude. What was the quality of your breath? The state of your mind? How did you get there?
I don’t do it so much anymore because I’ve been caught up in a lot of things lately (Cod mainly) probably my favorite time of night is space in between one and two o’clock in the morning. That’s when everything just seems to...

Day 7 Best Blog Find Of The Year: That gem of a blog you can’t believe you didn’t know about until this year.
You know, to tell you the truth blogs were never really my thing (which I suppose is funny considering where’ you’re reading this from). Not without trying mind you. I’ve tried following a few blogs before and some people just don’t seem to care about...
#best09 Day 6 This is going to be lackluster
Day 6 Best Work Was there a conference or workshop you attended that was especially beneficial? Where was it? What did you learn?
Yeah, I help run a family business… The words workshop or conference don’t really apply to me. I realized after reading ahead on the list that there are probably going to be a few days that I may do nothing more than a small blurb for or just flat out skip.
#best09 Day 5 I have run out of witty things to...
Day 5 Best Night Out: Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night?
Halloween night was cold, wet and damn well possibly one of the best nights I’ve ever spent in the city.
My sister, my girl friend, my closest friend and myself each went as characters from Clue. More characters were supposed to join us...
#best09 Day 4 Slow and steady wins the race
I realized I’m doing this whole #bestof09 #best09 thing and never really mentioned the source of it all. Actually as far as I’m concerned the source is thatgirlallie.com because that’s where I first heard of it the concept actually comes from Gwen Bell. Anyway, now onto more nostalgia.
Day 4 Book What book - fiction or non - touched you? Where were you when you read it? Have you...

#bestof09 Day 2 I'm getting there
Best Restaurant:
I don’t recall the date exactly but sometime in mid July I and most of my closest friends took a trip to a wee castle in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. It was the first time back to Medieval Times since having been in middle school. I must say, going when you’re really young is fun and all but it’s not until you’re old enough to (legally) drink that it truly...

#bestof09 Day 1 It's a bit late sue me.
Day 1 Best trip:
I’ve been to Virgina with a few friends a few times in the last year or so but I think the last time I went this past March was my favorite regardless of the weather.
We were down south and it was spring so of course that meant it was cold and raining. We ended up spending most of our time inside. After a couple of days of this one of us, I’m not really sure who,...
