Goodbye:

• Crowded apartment full of books and computer parts, paper swimming amongst the magazines and toys.
• Crappy election year, full of spite and below the belt politics.
• Terrible twos.
• Non-product-oriented business opportunities (the sneak peak can still be had here).
• Numerous magazine subscriptions.

Hello:

• Brand new, unjaundiced, bright-star year full of hope and possibility.
• Year ending in an odd number. Odd years have proven, in general, to be better for me, historically speaking.
• Trippy threes.
• Shiny new faces, replete with goodness, grace, and generosity.
• Numerous magazine subscriptions.

A happy and healthy and peaceful 2005.
