A quick note on the year so far

I know I just finished writing, but I got one more thing. And it has nothing to do with the previous topic. Most people have written something down about the past year and the year ahead by now, and I tried not to do it. However, I can't resist. So just imagine if you are reading this that it is the first or second of January and fuck off if you don't want to.

In 2008, this is what I don't want to hear about:

• steroids in sports
• weight issues that celebrities have
• dane cook
• millionaires complaining about anything

In 2008, this is what I do want to hear about

• millionaires doing something for someone else (excluding their close friends with coke problems)
• something good on the news every night (I am sick and tired about everything that is on the news: war, drugs, shootings, stabbings, oprah, celebrities). I don't care if it is about a puppy being adopted from the local shelter, someone finding five bucks on the ground and giving it back to the rightful owner, or a cease fire lasting more than two weeks. There has to be some good that happens everyday.
• the Detroit Tigers winning the World Series (sorry, a bit bias)
• Musicians writing and playing their own music (I'm a bit weary of this american idol singer bullshit). just because you can sing doesn't make you a musician. What kind of band would the Beatles have been if the four of them just stood around and sang?
• Rap music going away.

If any of that happens, I'll put this year in the win column.
