Happy New Year!

It's official. The crappiest year on human record is finally over! I keep trying to think of the good things that happened, but nothing really comes to mind. So I figured I'd make a list of the bad.

Most Notable Celebrity Deaths:

• Ronald Regan
• Christopher Reeve
• Ray Charles
• Jerry Orbach
• Rodney Dangerfield
• Julia Child
• Marlon Brando
• Tony Randal

There were also many other good people who died this year. Even though I don't know their names they're still in my thoughts.

Most Notable Court Trials:

• Kobe Bryant vs. Jane Doe
• Scott Peterson vs. California
  
• Martha Stewart vs. "The Feds"
• Coral Eugene Watts vs. Michigan
• Michael Jackson vs. California
• Robert Blake vs. California

Please remind me never to move to California. I didn't realize until just now how many cazy things happened there this year. I could fill an entire list with just those.

Most Notably Bad Entertainment Decisions:

• Britney Spears Marries, Anulls, Marries Again
• Ben Afflec & Jennifer Lopez
• Arnold Wins California
• Celebrity Baby Names
• Ashley Simpson Gets Busted For Lip Synching

Please remind me never to be a Celebrity as well. Though I do believe I could do a better job at it than the celebrities who were in the spotlight this year. I would have Lip Synched too by the way.

I'm sure glad this thing is over. If 2004 were just a dream and I woke up on January 1st '04 again, I would jump off a bridge. I'm surprised everyone made it this long. Maybe next year will be better, but don't we always say that?

My Predictions For 2005:

• Someone I Know Will Make More Money Than Me
• A Celebrity Will Do Something Stupid
• A Politician Will Do Something Worse
• My Computer Will Finally Die
• My Cat Will Sleep On Me While I'm Typing
• Mozilla Will Release Firefox Version 1.1
• I Will Still Be A Hermit On Deceber 31st

I would bet money on those things. I don't have any though. Maybe something good will happen in '05. Maybe we'll cure some horrible disease or switch to an all credit system like in Star Trek & Star Wars. Maybe we'll invent the Phaser too. I'd prefer a Mandalorian Blaster Rifle myself.

Hey, 2005 might even be the year that I stop being a geek. No.. That's not going to happen. I have to much fun being this way to just give it up.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year. Just like everyone else says. I really mean it though. Happy New Year!
