MMX in retrospect.

i like that name mmx. sounds scandalous. the MMX scandal.

so this year started out awesome. i made resolutions, decisions, plans, plans of actions, all of that. and almost came close to acting on those, but one of the things i resolved, was that i would write each week. so i wrote the first week, and now the last day. this is a recap.
