Oh it’s the first day of the new year!! I’m so excited!!
This year I will make very measurable and very big advances in life. This is going to be the biggest year yet.
2009 I quit my job in April. Decided to start Knot Theory. Met Aaron, Alice, Joey, and the branding company. This year I had my first branding experience.
2010 In Feb I did my first photoshoot – the Duello. In March I turned 30 and launched Knot Theory. Had a good party with a keg and about 25 friends. Had sex on Jason’s couch with someone I later found very unattractive. In June I met Cyndi! I founded the Alopecia support group in August. In November I went to Cyndi’s Noveween as Lady Gaga in a meat dress.
2011 is a year of getting lots of exposure for Knot Theory locally. West Ender, Breakfast TV, Homorrazzi shoot, Men’s Fashion Week, selling in MASC. Had my first Kickstarter which went fine with the help of all the supportive friends. I met Summer, Ross, Anna and Wilson. I dated that French guy Nicholas for 4 months. I learned that if I didn’t like the experience and the guy wasn’t very hot, I remove him from memory.
2012 was a cool year. I had a cool birthday at Opus. Everyone wore bunny ears. I went on Dragon’s Den in April. In October I raised $14K on Kickstarter. In November we had a James Bond photoshoot and I met Patrick.
2013 was a big year because in March I “came out” and told the world about my alopecia. I also embarked on my Shanghai vagabond journey later in the year, Oct/Nov. I saw a lot of things in China and I met lots of people. It was the best year of sex, in quality and quantity. Patrick up until May. Josh in August. First Asian guy in December. Idriss on NYE.
2014 has been a big year too. I discovered my love for location independence after returning from Shanghai in April. I had my first failed Kickstarter project, but discovered the importance of learning from the best. Knot Theory got on AskMen. I lived at Aunt Jane’s from April to Oct. I took courses. SEOD and ASM. I know that I will make lots of money from now on. Moved home but felt fine about it. Just a place for me to not pay rent, keep Mom company, and figure out what to do and where to live next. Got my first SEO client at end of Oct. In Nov I went to SF. Idriss and I crashed and burnt and I predicted that in my dream. Friends with Norm again. Got PADI open water and dry suit certified. I met Dan MacKinnon on the flight to SF and learned that I’d love to travel the way he did in Australia: like a free, adrenaline-seeking 20-something. Feels like for the first time in a long time I have a much more concrete and promising plan for the coming year. Oh, and I’m on Invisalign. I like that for several reasons. I’m taking action. It’s gonna take gradual, consistent push to align my teeth that’s my theme: consistency. I don’t need to see results overnight. I just need to see progress and have a concrete goal that I can reach at a foreseeable date!
2015 is going to be an AMAZING year. This is going to be a year of making lots of money, pushing my boundaries, learning a lot about myself, becoming a better person, and realizing many of my dreams.
