Looking back on 2008

I really thought about how to sum up 2009, but maybe it is too soon, or too late. I don't know. Maybe the two pics above can do. The first was shot I think on the 1st or 2nd of Jan 2008 in Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, India (the pose and the rifles were their idea, not mine). I also work meanwhiel for their government, funny enough.
The second pic was taken on new year's eve. One of the few pics of myself that I like - which is more due to my vanity than the inability of other people taking good shots.

The guy on the first pic is seriously ill like hell, but does not know it yet. The guy on the second pic is full with drugs but more healthy than ever! I have been thinking how to sum up 2008, but no matter if blogging or writing new year's wishes to friends, I am somehow out of words. Funny, ironically this year has shown to me that two of the things I am best at are blogging and photography. In this respect I tried to choose instead of a summary of the year some of the most typical or remarkable blog entries. M - O - M - E - N - T - S * A - N - D * M - O - R - E I would call them.

Ironically the little switch in my medication this week also gave me a little review on the past year in form of symptoms and side effects. Just nasty, not dangerous. I'll mention it to my doc tomorrow. New blood test and a medical certificate is on the to-do-list for tomorrow's appointment.

Last but not least one song that has been in my head most of the (hard) times. Don't worry, I also have better songs for better times.
