The year is ending...what's your greatest accomplishment?

Came out as a homosexual, good times.

Good for you man

Thanks bro. That helped me feel good about me'self.

while i think its awesome that u did that i have 1 question , why does society have such a problem with homosexuality?

Muiltiple answers, one is against religious beliefs. Another is the irrational fear that Homosexuals find them attractive, or can't relate to Homosexuality since its feeling deep love for another man, which they can't relate too.

Many times, it just comes down to being different. Its literally child hood bullies just growing into bigots because they refuse to just let people be. Its like hating black guys, or people of other religion, is simply because their different.

I guess it all comes down to religion after all. The bible states marriage as between a man and a woman, however, also states that you can marry your brother's widow, become a polygamist and that female slaves must put out to male slaves. Not once does God say that Gays are evil / bad / sinful but due to describing marriage as what it is, followers just take it as ONLY between men and women.

I have not read the Bible myself so can't give you much more then what I have heard or think, but its somewhere along the line of 'Not understanding it.' 'Religious reasons.' and 'Generally being different.' I don't care what people think of me, especially people of religion. If you want to follow a book thats a giant hypocrite, made all the way in the past and still follow it without reading, then by all means, humiliate selves, but its a different thing to read the bible and to understand the bible.

It's kinda a tie between starting to learn guitar, I reckon I'm going pretty good so far and becoming a fair bit more athletic, and that ones probably a bit higher achievement-wise because in my childhood I was quite the chubby one and I was pretty awkward and shit at sports, some of it could be blamed on me having diabetes however most of it was just me being a lazy little prick.

I going to be an uncle within the next week (though I guess that's not my accomplishment), and I've lost 20lbs since last January..

Overall though, 2011 has probably been the worst year of my life. I'll drop a list of everything;

Spoiler: For those who care

- Had to drop out of college because I failed 3 courses and didn't know until my professor updated the marks 6 months later.. Obviously, I couldn't stay in a program like that.

- Since April I have been in and out of 4 jobs and was fired by all of them (I've never been fired before). Currently still unemployed.

- Broke my glasses in June, since then I've been wearing 6 year old perscription, so my eye sight is off. And I can't afford new ones until I get enrolled in school again, then I'm back on my mother's benefits.

- From my time in college, I'm $16,800 in debt from my student line of credit.

- I've been on several 1st dates this year, none of them leading to a 2nd. Not from a lack of trying, December marks 5 years I've been single.

- 2 months ago one of my best friends from High School died from overdose of drugs, and his birthday was last week. Now I'm down to 2 friends, one who lives in New Brunswick for 3/4 of the year and I never hear from him until he's in town, and the other who I only get to hang out with once every other week... So I feel pretty lonely.

- I finally got laid for the first time in 3 years, only for it to be depressingly and embarrasingly short.

- Due to me being out of school and unemployed, I'm at odds with my father and everytime he's home I cower away into my room, because I feel he's contantly pissed/disappointed/ashamed of me.. And to be honest, I wouldn't argue with his reasoning.

-I'm turning 24 and I feel like I have no direction.

In short; I'm not in school, not working, in debt, single, overweight, had a friend die, don't get to see too much of other friends, still live with parents, speaking of which my father is heavily disappointed in me, and I'm almost 24 years old.. I think I might just join the Military.

This year I finally met a girl worth my time.

Also, I got a nifty promotion at work!

I got the balls to ask a girl I liked out. And I can now pick up random chicks at clubs. Not much advancement, I know, but the destruction of morals and cowardice takes time.

 

[Craorach]

Getting my new job, without a doubt. I've moved from low paying, stressful, fast food shift working to a day job in a credit agency spending most of my time trying to improve their customer service.

 

[Ben MacGougan]

wrote a book. Bam!

 

[Icehearted]

I helped someone that lost their child learn to laugh again. Most of it was her though, no taking credit for her strength.

 

[Techsmart07]

Finally started going to the gym would probably be my proudest feat, seeing as almost everything else is going down the tube...

 

[Dethenger]

I've been doing very well in AP Language, so I'm proud of myself for that. I keep thinking not to invest too much into a grade I got on a high school, but I remember, fuck, this is a college class. Maybe the teacher is more lenient, or maybe the course itself is simply not as difficult as the ones in college, but I at the very least am glad to see someone who I have a modicum of respect for (the AP Language teacher) react positively to my work.

If I were to say it in less words: 100% on Computer Tech test, meh. 100% on Huckleberry Finn analysis, fuckin' walking on air (deep, deep down).

 

[Tizzmarelda]

over came my soul crushing heart ache an came become a more wholesome person because of it.

 

[Draitheryn]

I lost the 120 lbs I put on from renal failure

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

I tried dieiting this year and Lost 35 kilograms. Diets arent as hard as they are made out to be. (granted I am a healthy 23 year old man, so its a little easier for me to lose weight than some)

 

[kommunizt kat]

within 6 months I became a decent artist from having almost no talent at all.

It's been a busy year with a lot of ups and downs. I've made a lot of mistakes this year, and I've learned a lot from them. But here are some things that I am proud of:

-Attended an invitation-only Master Acting Class taught by top Hollywood producers
-Was signed the top agent in my state
-Acted as a principal role in 3 feature films
-Received SAG eligibility
-Acted in 5 (and counting) short films
-Have had a short story and an informal essay published
-Directed a shoot for a major player in the region
-Responded to the largest fires in the state's history
-Commanded a special operations unit in the world's largest paintball game (we won)

And most importantly, I got my life back on track where it needs to be.
