Splendora, Thy Name Is Vanity

I'm going to be spending tomorrow night at M's party this year (Finally, the first year in just about FOREVER where I have plans for New Year's Eve), so I guess I'll get this New Year's Resolution thing down now. First off, a recap of all things great in the year 2004.

KICK-ASS STUFF THAT HAPPENED IN 2004

• Saw Ben Folds for the first time this summer in concert.
  
• Learned of the existence of cross-dressing homemaker Brini Maxwell
  
• Booked a summer vacation to Miami and the Bahamas
  
• The Red Sox won the World Series
  
• Got entirely hooked on time-consuming reality shows "The Apprentice," "Starting Over," and "Project Runway."
  
• Created an entirely kick-ass (if I do say so myself) mock-up ad for "Queer Eye" featuring none other than Thom "I know he's gay, but somehow, some way, I'm going to find a way to marry him someday" Filicia.
  
• Dan Rather resigned from CBS news.
  
• Got a REAL, TAX-PAYING, PART-TIME LOVING J-O-B. I'm a working girl again.
  
• Was accepted to Goldsmiths College in London.
  
• The Younger Brother graduated high school and was accepted into college.
  
• "Friends" finally ended.

REALLY SUCKY STUFF THAT HAPPENED IN 2004 THAT I'D RATHER IGNORE ALTOGETHER

• George "Monkeyface" Bush won the election again. There is no justice in the world.
  
• American Idol went into a third season.
  
• Joey McIntyre refuses to be a part of a New Kids on the Block revival as part of Vh1's Bands Reunited Special. Twenty-something women around the nation were entirely grief-stricken by his half-assed antics.
  
• My cousin was nearly killed in Iraq, just before my brother's Selective Service papers came in the mail. Perfect timing.
  
• A car accident totalled my car and as a result, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia
  
• Tom Brokaw resigned from NBC News. Orange-faced Brian Williams is now sitting in his place.
  
• Some uppity White chicks decided that I was just too Black to work at their store.
  
• My mother lost her job.

RESOLUTIONS THAT I'LL (SORTA... KINDA... MAYBE) TRY NOT TO BREAK SOMETIME WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS

Excerise, excercise, excercise! I can't say that one enough.

Get an internship with a local television station/video production studio.

Apply for grad school.

Figure out how the hell to pay for grad school in the first place.

Save money and open up a hard-core savings account and an IRA (Whatever that is, I'm not even sure).

Try to get along with Bitchypoo at work.

I'm going to keep the resolution list short this year, just so I don't overwhelm myself with stuff that I probably won't get around to doing anyway. I've got enough crap to worry about right now as it is.

Today's Soundtrack: "Kanye's Workout Plan," Kanye West

Best Part of the Day: Dealing with straight-up psychos at work. I don't get paid enough for that crap.
