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

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.

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.
