Another year has come and gone, and so much happened in 2009 that prepare yourself for a very long post. Some of us got what we wanted and lost it, some of us lost what we thought we'd have forever, and it seems that in the last half of the year, most of us were looking to the future with the hopes that it would give us something that would make us feel again. For purposes of drama-control, I'll leave out most of the personal stuff and stick to the big events.
So lets start at the beginning...
1. Congratulations! It's a Blog!
Yup...I started this blog in 2009!!! I've had many posts and comments and I hope you all enjoy reading about my crazy antics as much as I enjoy living them. Here's to another year of documenting all of my sparks of brilliance and flashes of insanity.
2. RIP Jesus Crab
Okay, so if you weren't aware, MD and I had a pet crab at the beginning of the year...his name was Jesus-Crab because I thought he was dead for the first three days, but then he came back to life! It was a miracle! Unfortunately, he really did die six days later. I apparently suck at being a Crab-Mother.
3a. A New World Order
On January 20th, 2009, Barack H. Obama was inaugurated as President of the United States. It was a lovely ceremony filled with much hope and joy from liberals and eye rolls and threats of moving to Canada from conservatives. Of course, the real star of the Inauguration was...
3b. Aretha's Hat.
I don't even need to comment on this...just look at it!
4. Glambert loses to that other guy....
Okay, so Adam Lambert didn't win American Idol, but you know he's going to be the bigger star than that other guy who did win. Later in the year, his antics will amaze (and appall) many viewers.
5. Lady What? Goo Goo? No...Lady GaGa.
2009 Seemed to be such a huge year for Lady GaGa. Every song she released was a hit, from Just Dance, Poker Face, Love Game, Paparazzi, and Bad Romance. The hits keep coming and I have to admit, I have learned to really respect and enjoy her music. Don't hate, but she is incredibly talented. Go to youtube and look up "Stefani Germanatta" if you don't believe me.
Also, her performance at the VMA's wowed the crowd and the many Lady Gaga costumes on Halloween solidified her as the pop culture symbol of the year.
6. Free Iran!
This is actually one story that I'm really sad to see get ignored....all of the protests and the energy and spirit of the country wasn't enough to beat down the system. No matter what your stance is on our foreign policy, having a moderate Iran is in everyone's best interest and the young people of Iran who were fighting hopefully didn't get their spirits crushed to a point where they won't keep trying in the future. I'm still holding out hope of seeing a free Iran in my lifetime.
7.Mountain Adventure Weekend.
For those of you who were there....hmm...it certainly made for some interesting stories to tell later.
8. Greece Summer Adventure!!!
I didn't expect myself to miss Crete as much as I do sometimes. I know that I will get back someday, but probably not soon enough. I highly recommend going to a study abroad (it doesn't matter where) at least one time before you graduate because it really is amazing.
9. RIP Michael Jackson.
If you know me, you know my opinions about him and I'll leave it at that. I was in Greece the week after it happened and even there, people were playing MJ music constantly. It was surreal. The King of Pop is dead.
10. 10/15/09-Never Forget.
Everyone will remember where they were the day America stopped working and watched an empty balloon....yup, Falcon "Balloon Boy" Henne totally killed his parent's game when he announced during a live interview that they were doing it for a show. Indeed, his "parents" (if you can call them parents) staged an elaborate media hoax to win themselves a reality show. They got their 15-minutes of fame and a nice jail sentence.
11. Tiger Woods becomes a Cheetah!!!
Sorry for the lame joke; I was actually really upset about this because I love Tiger so much. I love how he let all his anger out on the course and didn't pansy around like that idiot Phil Mickelson. Anyways, the illusion is shattered and he is apparently off to rehab for "sex addiction". Good luck, Tiger!
12. The Christmas Bomb Plot.
Whoa that was scary! I hope you all kept up with that/ are keeping up with that because it's some serious business. This isn't looking good for Obama's administration and might result in some serious firings within his cabinet (watch out, Secretary Napolitano!).
So, here's to a bright new year- may it bring you happiness, peace, comfort, and whatever else 2009 left you wanting. Awake, arise, or be forever fallen.
