New Year’s Eve in St. Louis, and Urban Strata is Eight Years Old http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/urbanstrata/~3/ZDz39WH5F1E/ http://urbanstrata.com/2009/12/31/new-years-eve-in-st-louis-and-urban-strata-is-eight-years-old/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:07:52 +0000 Jeff http://urbanstrata.com/?p=19 The last day of the year. A time to reflect on 365 days of accomplishments, challenges, experiences worth remembering forever and experiences we’d rather forget. Overall, it was a tough year for me personally (for reasons that I won’t go into now, but maybe someday) amid some awesome achievements and firsts: a job offer from Microsoft, my first A+ in graduate school, an amazing first trip to China, my first white Christmas in St. Louis.

But overall I feel like I still have a helluva lot more to do than what is done: finish my MBA, get back into shape, read the unopened books (especially novels) piling up at my bedside, write more often, keep a cleaner apartment… The list goes on and on. It’s the little unfinished things that drive me the craziest, and for which I have the least excuse for leaving unaccomplished month after month and year after year.

Today I’m accomplishing at least one of those little things: resurrecting Urban Strata on its eighth birthday as my blog for thoughts on life, urban living, marketing and technology. My posts here may be less frequent than my tweets (follow @urbanstrata for my whole stream of consciousness), but I hope to post occasional writings of more length and depth than would be possible in just 140 characters.

So bring on the New Year! I feel ready and invigorated for the new experiences, accomplishments and challenges that 2010 will bring.

Snow Falls on St. Louis
