And with that we bid adieu to the year that was 2004. Wow – looking back at the year – a lot of shit happened. Join me, if you will, for a brief recap that was my 2004…

First, and foremost, obviously was my engagement to Nikki. Words can’t really express the meaning to me of that one event. I was going to write a rather long, potentially boring diatribe on Chaos Theory and things happening the way they do but I deleted it. Suffice it to say, I love Nikki with all of my heart and life is the way it’s supposed to be.

Next up was that Nic & I moved in together. Sure, by the end of last year we were practically living together but it was made official in March of this year. Everyone says that you don’t know someone until you live with them. That may be true but there wasn’t really much adjustment (at least on my part – apparently I did upset Nikki’s sense of bathroom decor).

Hmm…what else??? It seems like so much more happened…

Oh yeah…we bought a house!

I don’t think I need to write any more about that in this blurb. I know – the pictures still aren’t up yet. Chill. They’ll get there…eventually.

There were other things that happened I’m sure but those three above events were probably by far the most important. Any one of those would definitely be the high-point of anyone’s year. To have all three happen in one year just sorta makes you step back and go Wow…

Of course there were many global events that happened that will contribute to whatever the future holds. Not the least of which is the most recent tragedy on the far side of this little round rock we call home. I’ll leave those top stories to the news agencies – they need something to publish on New Year’s Day.

So, now that I’ve kicked 2004′s ass out the door, what’s up for 2005? Hard to say – that’s the thing about the future, the slightest little thing can alter its course. My plan is to still win the lottery (hell, for all I know, I could have won Wednesday’s 6/49 – still haven’t checked my ticket). Other than that…stay tuned. If it’s big in our life, it’ll probably be here. If it’s useless information on the internet, it’ll DEFINITELY be here!

Cheers everyone! Please drink responsibly and DON’T drink and drive.
