Im oph now to parts unknown, to try lobster and christmas nuts, I liked 2004 except these last three months, who were an endless strain of jobsuck, and culminated in me almost losing someone dear to me. I'll try not to lose myself, I encourage U 2 DU the same.
My New-years resolution will be 1280x1024 and that I'll start studying again. Thanks go out to all of you crackers and your antics, and to Viceroy Capps, the man in the shadows, who gave birth to this slimy mudball, probably sending kickbacks to Rich Kyanka as we speak, so that Rich doesn't feature us in the "Weekend Web". Thanks, Charles!
Hmm, what else. What does my note say? "Post newd pickhurs from de halloween partie", no I don't think...no. Ok, now I'm ready.

That's no way to talk to a turnip. A girl like that you've got to romance first.
Our prime minister G�ran Persson gave a beautiful speech tonight, before the 12 o'clock annual reading of Tennyson's "Ring Out, Wild Bells", in our largest park. He didn't try to work around the fact that the last week's events will be the worst disaster our country has faced in modern time, and that most of the lost ones will never rest in any grave. But he spoke of brotherliness and selflessness, to help the ones most affected by this ordeal.
It's strange, Tennyson's poem has been read to us on New Year's Eve for decades, always like a well-wishing and optimistic message, slightly stuffy and corny to us young people, but this time it felt new, and the old actor cried when he read it.
These last parts sounded like they were written for the occasion:
Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes, But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Dont Ring out the player. Ring out the game.

Here's a cheer for 2005.
May it be infinitely better than that bitch 2004.

Doesn't that get said pretty much every year?
Doesn't it never really happen?

Boy this New Year's stared fucked up, Just drink some Fanta and just shut the hell up.
Fanta, Fanta... don't you wanna Fanta, Fanta.

I think 2004 was an OK year. Some things happened to us that we'd been planning a long time. We moved to the other side of the world, hated it, and came back. I spent six months there doing a totally pointless job and basically counting the days until I was leaving. I doubt I'm alone in that.
2005 will be a very big year for my wife and I. I've got a good feeling about it.
Now, it's midday on New Year's Day, and I've nothing to do. No parties, no lunches to go to - it's my dad's birthday but they're 4 hours' drive away. I think I'll go and wake up the wifelet, and we'll go to Wales for fun. 8)

Wales? Fun?
I'm up in Sunny Scotland and we take the New Year seriously up here, getting an extra days holiday compared to the rest of the country bcause, frankly, we need it. I just got out of bed after Hogmanay and it's 1.45pm, and at about 6pm tonight I'm off to my usual family get-together in Edinburgh, which usually splinters off into several other parties across town which end around 8.00am the following morning.

You've heard from your friend in Thailand!?!

We could just paste all of that thread in here and change the dates...and swap "Mario cart" for Halo 2".
Though I think 2003 was far better than the Year-O-Pain that was '04.
But, hey: I'm feeling much better now!
2005 is gonna be a FANTASTIC year, full of happiness, sex, money, and possibly happy sex in money.
You watch. Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Want to know a year that REALLY sucked? 1997.

When I was a kid, 2005 seemed so far away. Now that it's here, I find myself oddly afraid of being eaten by Unicron...

Hey, now. 1997 was a great year.

Don't worry; we'll never see it coming until Unicorn sinks his fangs into us.

It will never happen if you keep up that attitude, old man.

"Going to Wales for fun" is a joke that originates from the first time I came down to visit my then-girlfriend's home. Located in Glaowstershoyre just across the Severn bridges from Wales; so, one day we went for a drive which included a jaunt over to the Land Of Leeks. Just because we felt like it. Since the only time I'd ever go near the place are for work reasons (my then-employers have an office in Cardiff), it seemed a wacky thing to do.
That said, we didn't go to Wales today. Just drove along the Severn Vale while my now-wife regaled me with tales of her childhood - her sister wrapped her Fiesta around that telegraph-pole, or how she was chief bridesmaid at the marriage of the local Tory MP's daughter to the scion of the local Ice-Cream Mafia Family, that sort of thing. . .

Sounds like Ritten would've enjoyed going with you, the little scallion.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
What happened to Ritten? Eaten by racoons, is my guess.
Posted by Fleet-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
Will racoons eat him... or the zombies in Racoon City? Sorry, watched RE: Apocalypse way too many times lately.

You mean watching RE: Apocalypse? I needed to copy Jill Valentine's look on the big screen for a party.
