Let's take a look at some of the more substantial events of the year, shall we? New Year's Eve 2008 - I started off 2009 with a bang... by hosting an amazing party surrounded by amazing people and had an amazing time. 'Nuff said. Job Hunt 2009 - Since I quit my job in December '08, I spent the first three months of 2009 frantically trying to find a job. http://blog.thejustinporter.com/2009/12/2009-in-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Justin Porter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087487905201814265.post-6122041100898041436Tue, 26 May 2009 13:42:00 +00002009-12-03T21:56:08.903-08:00I really want to dump everything and move to Australia, is that wrong? I mean, let's take some time and evaluate why that would be totally awesome. Reason #1: Beautiful beaches. The nicest beaches I've ever been to are in Hawai'i, and from what I know that's exactly what Australia is like. ANNDDD how could we possibly forget about the Great Barrier Reef? Reason #2: Hot people.

I attended a Q&A panel at SAG on new media, and found myself during and afterward to be somewhat... inspired. The gears in my head were turning, and I was ready to put to paper all the ideas I had been tossing about in my brain but have never done anything about.

For those of you who don't know, I quit my previous job at the end of the year. I had been there for three years... it was time to move on. But what's really exciting about this whole "no job" thing is the complimentary "no money" thing that goes along with it!

What surprised me most was not that the SNL audience cheered for her, nor was it that Alec Baldwin came up and said nothing short of “Sarah Palin is a horrible human being” right in front of her, nor was it that Amy Poehler performed a rap poking fun at her “bridge to nowhere”.No, what http://blog.thejustinporter.com/2009/02/sarah-palin-on-snl.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Justin Porter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087487905201814265.post-892518564529306333Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:52:00 +00002008-07-02T23:35:29.942-07:00For those of you who haven't yet seen Wall•E (and for those of you who don't know what that is I feel sorry for you)... you should know that it's amazing.

I don't know why... but it's been really great.For the past two weeks I've been totally stressed out at work, disappointed in other areas of life, and in an all-around funk.
