2010 is the new 2000

Someone admitted to me earlier today that they're glad 2009 is almost over and that it would be a forgettable year. I believe them because I do not recall any of it. The only thing I remember is leaving my job and being on an endless search (still going strong) for another. I guess 2009 will be known as the forgettable year. Oh. Wait. It could also be known as the death parade of celebrities. Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, David Carradine, Patrick Swayze, the guy who sold everything in commercials... and the list goes on and on. If you were a celebrity and you survived this year, congratulations. Especially you, Britney. Although,there are still a few weeks left.

Let's go for an optimistic read on next year. Things can only go up, right? Except for Tiger. Things look like they're getting worse. Sorry, Tiger, but you're kind of a man-wh*re. Someone put a leash on that guy.

What can we look forward to in 2010?

1.) Saying 2010 as "twenty ten". It's so futuristic. Plus, saying "two thousand and..." was so draining.

2.) The "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" movies. At least the first one, anyway. I'm kind of sad that the movies will be done too. So, let's add the Harry Potter Disney theme park on here. Destination-Orlando, Florida baby!

3.) Visiting the old country. I want to see the grandfolks, Aunts, Uncles, fruit trees, rolling hills, stray cats, graffiti'ed walls,harassing jobless buffoons, and unrepentant jaywalkers, baby. I want it all.

4.) My new job! (The glass is half full in "twenty ten".)

5.) My slamming new body! (The glass is actually over flowing in "twenty ten".)

6.)More Twilight movies! (The glass is also covered with images of Edward Cullen and Jacob, and sold at a Walmart near you)

7.) A Cardinals world series victory. (I'm just being realistic)

8.)Plenty of marriages. None of them probably mine, but it should still be fun.

9.) New trips to places I've never been. What with my new job and all, I should be able to save and afford money for these places. My traveling life has been on hiatus and it's time to take it off the shelf. Too dusty.

10.)More Tiger Woods mistresses revealing themselves. Because Tiger is waaaaay over-par with the ladies. And because this joke was too easy.

Like everyone else, I am going to die. But the words – the words live on
for as long as there are readers to see them, audiences to hear them. It is
immortality by proxy. It is not really a bad deal, all things considered.
