The Final Countdown To 2009

Image by Fantascii

As we count down the final hours of 2008, I have but one final question: What the hell took you so long, 2009? Honestly, this has been one of the most trying years of my life (and all I have to show for it are 703 blog posts.) I watched my savings account roll over -- in it's grave. I lost my beloved dog, Sam. I've struggled with health issues, both personally and with family and friends. I've watched financial opportunities slip through my fingers, and I've cringed while those near and dear to my heart have lost jobs, homes, significant others, and their faith in all that is right in this world. (And, on a lighter note, I also waited months to see actor/comedian Joel McHale live, only to come down with the flu the morning of. *Ack*)

So, f@#k off 2008! I'm starting my count down early. (Is it any coincidence that rockets are fashionable right now? They definitely make my end-of-year rant all the more interesting to look at.) Okay, enough from me. Here goes nothing ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... BLAST OFF!
