I liked 2008.

A year in review.


It’s always surprising to look back at a year and realize just how much has really happened. In the span of 12 months people change, I change and life keeps going on. In remembrance of 2008 I will answer some questions. Here they are…

Favorite Dried Fruit of 2008: Apricots, Apricots, Apricots. It took me 21 years of living to understand that dried fruit can be just as tasty as real fruit.
Favorite book read in 2008: I can’t limit this to only one answer it’s just impossible. I’ll give my top three in no particular order. “The Road” by Cormick McCarthy. “Surprised by Joy” by N.T. Wright. “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini. Each of these books captured my interest from cover to cover. I’d recommend them to anyone.
Favorite Album of 2008: Weezer’s Red Album. I’m a fanboy so if you EVER insult the legend known as Weezer I might douse you in pencil shavings and than shout horrible things at you.
Favorite color of 2008: I still like blue.
Favorite new raquetesque game of 2008: Ping pong, it’s a lot more fun than it looks.
Favorite Board game of 2008: Settler’s of Catan. It’s like heroin without the needles.
The location of the hardest laugh I laughed of 2008: I wrote this question and than realized I couldn’t answer it. I’m sure that it was either at Hume, the Vevoda’s kitchen or in my room.
Things that stopped in 2008: My bladder, it has been 3 months since the last time I urinated.
Words that came apart of my regular vocabulary in 2008: pots and pans fun, pepperjack stevens, and aperture.
2008 of my favorite puddings: Chocolate, Banana, Furrberry, Bubblepops, Tingletangle Jelly, Sebastiany smooth, French Vanilla, plain vanilla, strawberry, pineapple and pepperjack stevens.

Oh 2008! You were wonderful to me. What made the year so special were the people in my life. I sincerely love everyone who was able to participate in life with me. Friends, family and even you, Mr. Burrito maker at Chipotle, I hope this year was as good to you as well. I love you all. Have a good end of 2008!
