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.

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)
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.

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.
