Way Back Whenesday: He Man

This was one of Tyler's shows that we watched while playing in the basement. He also had various toys based on the show that he would play with. The reason I am posting this is not because I remember watching the show or him playing with the toys, but rather because I would steal his purple cat, which was the bad guys (Skeltor) battle cat named Panthor, and use it as a toy for my Barbies. I don't know exactly why I thought a giant cat would be a good house pet for Barbie, but the purple colour likely had something to do with it. Anyway, what respectable evil villain has a giant purple cat as a pet - really now?!

More than all the Rest

I posted 286 blog posts here on The Great Abyss in 2009, which is more than all the previous years combined! I like to think that my more regular posting has created more loyal readers and also like to think that my posts have gotten more interesting as I have progressed in my blogging. Though I am not doing this blog for professional reasons (ie. I am not a writer), I hope that I am not boring the world with my e-space. Either way, I have no intention of stopping (or slowing down) in 2010 and see another year of regular posts and features. Thanks to all my readers in 2009 and hope you stick around through 2010 (and maybe even bring some friends with you).

Blog of Note (January): EpiCute

Dave found me this site the other day while he was traversing his regular sites and I can't get enough of it. EpiCute is a collection of epicly cute images of cakes, cupcakes, lollies, and other treats. It often has images of faux-treats as well, like soap in the shape of a cookie.

I think the above image is my favourite one so far. It was can be found on EpiCute as well as when it was originally posted by sugarbloom.

Mission Goal

I am not a fan of New Year's Resolutions, in fact, I am pretty much against them all together. New Year's Resolutions are tacky and predictable and very, very few people obtain these goals, or even continue working on them once February rolls around.
I am however, a fan of determining what you want out of the next year (I am calling this my Mission Goal). I know it sounds like the same thing, but if I look at it as more of plan for the next year (an incredibly general plan of course), then it is something I can get on board with. There are no 'I will stop...' statements, or anything like that. Just some sort of idea of what you think the next year will bring you and what you want at the end of it.
I want to be happy, healthy and comfortable in 2010. For me, these things are most likely to occur if I lose some weight, get a decent amount of money in my savings account, travel more and get a puppy.

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
