Year In Preview

I didn’t make one of those year-end lists like I usually do. You know, those ones where you list all your favorites from that particular year. Movies, albums, books, songs, etc. I didn’t make one at the end of 2004 because I was busy piecing jigsaw puzzles together every single night during 2004's final week.

Now here I am just inside the womb of 2005, and I must say that I have a lot to look forward to and a lot of hopes for the new year. First of all, I want to relax. No more losing it over senseless blather.

Next, I want to get rid of all the puppies except the runt which has become the favorite of the Champion Teenager who lives in my house. We’re already down to three (not counting aforementioned runt).

I’d like to make more friends who throw parties like the one I went to on New Year’s Eve. It was a total high school hotel suite extravaganza! It was even B.Y.O.L... Of course, AJ and I slept that night at the more economically priced Super 8 just a few hundred yards away, but still, it was a fun hotel party night filled with dancin’ and drunk girls pukin’ and bitches havin’ attitudes and guys who look like members of the cast of Boy Meets World makin’ drinks called "Sunshine."

I’d like to keep my car cleaner, but due to the fact that one of the roads on my daily commute is in a constant state of treacherous muddiness and gravelly pot-holiness, I don’t think this is possible.

Fishing trip. I need write nothing more on this matter.

I want to be a radio dj playing independent music again. This begins soon, I think.

I want to do it up royal in Sin City this summer when I go there to GET MARRIED and have the world’s finest bachelor(ette) party and honeymoon ever in the history of such events. This is perhaps the only New Year’s resolution I can guarantee keeping.

I’m leaving out a bunch of less glamorous things such as "start paying back student loans" and "get ass in shape," but those are pretty drab and predictable. We’ll see how things pan out.
