Observations on 2004:
1) Good fucking riddance.
2) Personally, the year started out on a relatively productive note: I finally got the degree that I have been working on (off and on, anyway) since Reagan was president. But my savings/loan money ran out earlier than I had planned, and that really sucked. And it took me forever to manage to get back into the workforce full-time.
3) In general, 2004 was really a shitty year. The Chimp got reelected, and the tsunami... well, that goes without saying. I only hope that 2005 is a better year, but with the Chimp thinking that he has a mandate, I'm not holding my breath for it.
Here are a few of my resolutions for 2005:
1) Lose weight. Lots of it. (Isn't that such a cliche? But it needs to be done.)
2) Find a better job. Something in the sex industry, preferably.
3) Quit talking about writing more, and start actually doing it.
4) Start taking a more active part in the causes that I believe in.
5) Read more, and spend less time on the internet. (After I finish this post.
)
6) Get out more. I really went into a shell while I was trying to finish school, and haven't come out of it yet. I need to meet more friends and have more of a social life - who knows, maybe a few of the people I've encountered here can help me with that.
There are others, but those are a bit personal. Anyway, hope that 2004 treated you all well, and that 2005 rocks your fucking asses.
On a related note: according to the Chinese calendar, 2004 (or most of it) was the year of the monkey.
That ends in February, leading us into the Year of the Cock. 
So the era of Macaque continues unabated!
