2009 in Review/2010 in Prediction

Again, I’m going with dubious grammar choices for the title, but I believe it fits.  Instead of just reviewing the low and highlights of 2009, I figure I’ll go through a list of my greatest hits ’cause for nearly all of them I have goals of faster and more intense for 2010.  So, when you start seeing Facebook statuses (stati?) about how bored I am, you can just send me a link to this page to light a fire under me towards something.  Maybe.  I don’t often admit to being bored in Facebook because it actually doesn’t happen too much.  What’s more likely is that you’ll see statuses (stat–oh, forget it) about me wasting time on something completely inconsequential.  Which is essentially what this blog post is.  Anyways, moving on, in an order where I presume the most interesting to the most number of people is at the top, I present the list:

“It’s not such a bad little year. It’s not bad at all really, maybe it just needs a little love.”

I’m going to take a one day break from my Year in Review to defend that year that others have been very harshly reviewing.  2008.  Those four numbers seem to ring ominously in these nascent days of 2009.  Suddenly 2008 stands for all evil, all that is wrong with the world today.  2008: the harbringer of death, doom, and economic downturn.  But I say thee nay!  2008 is not the problem, just the messenger.  And really, it was maybe just the last fourth or third of 2008 that was’t the best and it’s simply not fair to judge an entire work by a poor denouement.  So, here’s me saying, “2008, I’m not mad at you.”
