It was a good year over but I still have many things I would like to improve for next year.
The Good:
Lasted a year at my current company
Stopped playing World of WarCraft
Went on a lot of dates
Won a beer pong table by doing a lot of shots
Had an awesome b-day weekend
Started my 401k
Finally made it out to the west coast
Paid off a big chunk of debt
My sister got married
Never got sick
The Bad:
Still living at home
Stuck in a dead end job
Haven’t dated the girl of my dreams yet
Been drinking a little too much this year
Had to get 6 small cavities filled |

Went to Topdog tonight with Chris and Ivo. They had $2 shots and beers so it was an awesome time. Everytime you got a shot you got a ticket and beads. At the end of the night they had a raffle. My ticket got called for the beer pong table (aka the grand prize) and I was super happy. It felt so good to win and they took a picture of me for some reason. Beside all the excitement there were awesome quotes of the night they are:
"I want to get sloshed at pathmark"
"If I were single I would so hit that, yeah right I would not have a chance"
"Is your friend jewish"
"Why are all the liquor stores fucking closed at 10pm around here"
What an awesome night! |

I'm 25 years old
It is not the end but it sure takes hold
Trying to be loved completely, trying to love honestly
Trying to find a decent cup of tea
Trying to listen to the leaves speak
Trying to steal secrets from fishes in the creek
HAPPY B-DAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Well it has been one whole year since I started working at my job. I guess the best place to start is at the beginning. I remember it was Nov. 21st 2005 and I was driving over to lovely Mt. Holly to have an interview with Jack. When I arrived the secretary greeted me kindly and remembered me from a co-op I did there long ago. As soon as we were talking too loud Alex heard and came over saying ?I recognize that voice it?s Evan!? After a hearty hand shake and a what have you been doing all this time I sat to wait for Jack. When it was time to meet with him he came and got me. Sitting in his office, he went over the job he had in store for me. I didn?t really like what it entailed but it was a job. After agreeing to the terms, I told him I would start in 2 weeks.
Now we fast forward to today. It has been a crazy experience but it was with some great people. I have so many memories that will last me a life time. So even though it started out as a crap job it has turned into a real life changing experience. I know it is hard to say that I would do it all over the same again if it was last year but it sure has been a fun time with all my coworkers. For without them, I would probably have quit long ago.
Best memory: It was a late Thursday night Rick and I took the men?s bath room sign and stuck it on Jack?s door. |

I fought with strength, and with the Light by my side.
By two handed sword, SoC, and shield, my enemies died.
But those great days have gone, my martial skills dead,
For all raids want now are heals, cleanse, and rezes instead.
Why, that's us, you all know.
You tell us to wait, that balance draws no aggro.
But patch after patch just heightens our fears.
We can't tank as well nor be damage dealers.
That's no holy fighter, no sir, not at all.
But a cleric in a dress, what utter gall.
Also Our talent trees were a total disaster.
It took forever to finally master.
The moral, it seems, is that if you want change.
You'd better re-roll to a class with some range.
For they ain't gonna give WoW pallies a hand.
With cheaters, scammers, and gold farmers to ban.
I write this with love, amid all the ado.
About pallies, their nerfs, and crazy devs too.
All we wanted were some changes and improvements galore.
But nothing did happen with factions at war.
It is time for me to call it quits! |

Sue: Shivering.
Trent: Yeah, man just kinda... you know, you got these claws and you're staring at these claws and your thinking to yourself, and with these claws you're thinking, "How am I supposed to kill this bunny, how am I supposed to kill this bunny?"
Sue: And you're poking at it, you're poking at it...
Trent: Yeah, you're not hurting it. You're just kinda gently batting the bunny around, you know what I mean? And the bunny's scared Mike, the bunny's scared of you, shivering.
Sue: And you got these fucking claws and these fangs...
Trent: And you got these fucking claws and these fangs, man! And you're looking at your claws and you're looking at your fangs. And you're thinking to yourself, you don't know what to do, man.

As I sit here in utter shock and dismay we finally did it. For tonight we killed Nefarian lord of BlackWing Lair. We even had fun putting up the Head of Nefarian in Stormwind for all to see. I am so proud of my guild. I am so happy that they decided to make me paladin officer and allow me to lead them to such a great event. I wish we were the 1st on our server to do it but 10th place isn't bad. For even with top 10 lists the first one always gets it all going. |

| Goth youths more likely to self-harm...No shit |

LONDON (Reuters) - Young people who adopt the "Goth" lifestyle of dark clothes and introspective music are more likely to commit self-harm or attempt suicide than other youngsters, according to a study on Friday.
"Although only fairly small numbers of young people identify themselves as belonging to the Goth subculture, rates of self-harm and attempted suicide are very high among this group," said Robert Young, lead researcher of the Glasgow University study.
The Scottish team described Goths as being a subgenre of Punk "with a dark and sinister aesthetic, with aficionados conspicuous by their range of distinctive clothing and makeup and tastes in music."
Shock rockers such as Marilyn Manson are said to be popular amongst Goths and the subculture has often attracted suspicion and criticism from the media.
Two U.S. students who massacred 13 people at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999 were said to have been fascinated by the Goth image.
The Glasgow researchers studied of 1,258 young people who were quizzed at the ages of 11, 13, 15 and 19 about self harm and their links to various youth cultures.
In the UK, the rate of self harm among young people is between 7-14 percent.
Although other subcultures were associated with self harm, such as Punk, the link was strongest with Goths.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, found that 53 percent of those who were linked to the Goth subculture reported self-harm and 47 percent had attempted suicide.
Even adjusting for other factors, such as alcohol abuse and previous depression, Goth identification was the strongest predictor of self harm or suicide attempts, the report said.
"One common suggestion is they may be copying subcultural icons or peers," Young said.
"But since our study found that more reported self-harm before, rather than after, becoming a Goth, this suggests that young people with a tendency to self-harm are attracted to the Goth subculture."
Michael van Beinum, a child-and-adolescent psychiatrist, said the Goth subculture might be attractive to young people with mental health problems, allowing them to find a community where their distress might be more easily understood. |

Ch' dum dum dum, VP what have you done
ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound of your gun
ch' dum dum dum, VP what have you done
ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound, it's the sound
Cheney 's Got A Gun
Cheney 's Got A Gun
His whole world's come undone
From looking straight at the sun
What did his President do
What did he put you through
They say when Chaney was done
They found a body underneath a tree
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Cheney's fired a gun
He ain't never gonna be the same
Cheney got a gun
Cheney got a gun
quail hunting days just begun
now every lawyer is on the run |

Hearts and roses and kisses galore
What the hell is all that shit for
People get mushy and start acting queer
It's definitely the most annoying day of the year
This day needs to get the hell over with and pass
Before I shove a dozen roses up Cupid's ass
I'll spend the day so drunk I can't speak
And wear all black for the rest of the week
Guys act all sweet, but it soon will fade
For all they are doing is trying to get laid
The arrow Cupid shot at me must not have hit
Because I think love is a crock of shit
So there's my story, what else can I say?
Love bites my ass so I say "Fuck Valentines Day!" |

I now see why they call it that. Well one out of two things in its name was right. I had fun with coworkers and talked to some crazy people. At least it beats working on the weekend. It was well worth the trip because now I see someone upstairs still cares about me. |

A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing theworkers.
Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing! a couple of dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us."
My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fucking sheet
rock!" |
