Remembering 2004
When you think about 2004, what will you remember most?
For me the first thing that comes to mind is the re-election of George W Bush for a 2nd term. Other things that spring to mind include: The bombings in Madrid Murders of children in Beslan Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal 10 new members in the European Union The Olympics in Athens Death of Yasur Arafat Democracy in the Ukraine Violence in Darfur NHL goes on strike Boston Red Sox win the World Series |
George Bush
NHL strike 49er's taking a big plunge into football hell Leaving Pornkings Mt St Helens erupting (sorta erupting) the hurricaines in Florida my son turning 19 moving into my dream location/house coming to terms with my craziness ;-) (don't laugh it wasnt easy) |
I road out a major hurricane here in florida. I will always remember that. it was a really scary experience, i have rode out cat 1 and 2's with no problem but a cat 4 is a nightmare. i won't do it again. really a freaky thing to see so much get destroyed.

Publicly:
The Bush election disaster The continuation of the Iraq war disaster The Hurricanes in Florida disaster Red Sox winning after 86 years Privately: The birth of my son The purchase of my 1st house The success of my first major industry events that I organized (Cybernet & YP) My crazy cross country move with my cats riding in the car with me for 3 days All up 2004 was an AWESOME year for me, but not so much for America. Or Iraq. |
Publicly:
GWB More Dead US Solders in Irak Hurricanes Red Sox Pacers getting dismantled over the brawl Purdue Football going from being ranked 4th in the nation to a 4 game losing streak. Privately: Loss of my cat of 17+ years Moving to Florida Being in 3 Hurricanes in 5 weeks Realizing that most people in this business are hypocrites and liars with no purpose other then to fuck other people over. People who know us know what I am speaking of, I will not go into more details but I will remember 2004 as by far the worst personal year Toni and I ever had, it started Dec 31 of 2003 and so far it has potential of looking up, but after of a full year of hell we are very cautious to say its getting better. Hate to be the rain on a parade, but I personally am looking forward to 2005 since I know it can not be near as bad as 2004. |
My newborn nephew :D
The first time ever celebrating Thanksgiving in October ;) The elections Dec. was my 1 year anniversary of moving to Canada. :) Becoming "mom" to a kitten Quote:
I, too, am waiting for 2004 to end. Things are improving now as it is, so 2005 is going to be all that much better. :D |
Too much beer in 2004

Wow Panky and Torn... I'm sorry to hear that 2004 was such a horrible year for you guys :(
2002 was my worst personal year over the last few years... Hope 2005 is much better for you. |
Yeah, it was a bad one, but on the flip side it's good to know that it wasn't bad for you or others and we have 2005 to look forward to.

2004 hasn't been the best year.. with alot of personal problems and my dad being so ill..
but I am a very positive person... I feel that 2005 is going to bring alot of health and happiness back... :) |
