2004 was a busy year for me. The year, sort of, started with me asking Lauren to marry me on December 23rd. From there the year snowballed.
- I played competitive hoops for the first time in years
- Operation Fat Ass commenced and is still conducting maneuvers
- Operation Kitty Poo Poo started and, eventually, failed due to Crash’s inability to poop in the toilet (though he would pee without issues)
- I switched to VoIP and haven’t looked back since
- I got addicted to ITMS
- Bush and his war in Iraq continued to suck
- Not really from this year, but use this to debate your Christrian Fundie friends
- We visited (part 1) New York City (part 2)
- I bought a powerbook, which I’m using to create this entry
- I got addicted to American Idol and, as a result of my AI posts, a bunch of idiots flooded my site
- Cameron Barrett and I worked together on a few projects
- I learned bitmasks
- I redesigned the site
- I visited Brad in Seattle and Dana in San Diego
- Lauren and I moved to Seattle
- Lauren and I bought a condo in Seattle
- I left independent consulting, sort of, to work for Blue Frog Mobile
- We bought a new car, a Mazda 6i
- We got a dog
- I broke a bone, my first (unless you count me blowing out my knee, which wasn’t really a bone)
- I switched out my glasses for contacts, which I affectionally refer to as my devil children
- Went snowboarding in BC with Josh, Ali and Lauren
- I spotted a few celebs during my travels back to Michigan
- Lauren and I, after a year of anticipation, were married on December 18th, 2004
All in all it was quite an exciting year for me. I’m no married, a home owner and live in Seattle. Just more proof that a LOT can happen in a mere 12 months. Hope your year was as good as mine!
