I still say this whole “21st-century” thing was a huge mistake. It’s been nothing but trouble. ---

What **Eve** said. Actually, for me personally, 2002 was glorious. Until December 26th, then it turned into a world of hurt. 2003 sucked, with a few moments of greatness among all the suckage. Here’s hoping 2004 is at least a mild improvement. I don’t want to hope for too much yet, frankly. ---

I spent my final hours of 2003 as a sandwich artists making subs for drunk people until 5am yippee! Then on my toilet break some crazy drunk girl blocking the stairwell claimed i was raping her by tapping her on the shoulder asking if she could please let me through? i told her to stfu. Heres hoping this year and next new years will kick monkey {{{{{{{Missy}}}}}}}}}} (please don’t claim rape) ---

I’m willing to try a different year. It took me about six months to get a handle on the last one, though- hope I catch on to this one a bit faster. ---

2003 can bite my pasty white ass. If 2004 doesn’t improve on the previous year, I’m not gonna make it to 2005. ---

Hugs for **Missy2U** : ({({({ **Missy** })})}) I decided to meet this year head on, knowing it may suck hard. Father Time can bite me. ---

2003 started off great. My companys contract got bought out by lockheed, better bennies, My job was rocking… Then in march I was laid off. Still am. No work, no job, no hope left. My house needs a roof and the insurance companys are fighting over it…but if I dont get someone to own up I lose insurance then I lose the house. Right after I was laid off I got in a motorcycle accident with a lady who had let her insurance lapse. She claims she was coverd, the company claims she wasnt, meanwhile my bike has been stacked up the whole summer, and no money to fix it. Finally, a lawyer friend of mine was going to sue her for me free, but he got a brain tumor, and when they took it out, he says the doctors took all the lawyering parts of his brain out as well for their own safety. So thats screwed. Bill collecters have turned to lawyers calling me and threatening letters have turned to law suits and still things only look bleak. The only reason I get up in the morning is morbid curiosity. ---

2003 was a real drag, man. I can really dig 2004 comin and the hope that the calendar will be a better trip this time around. ---
