So This Is The New Year

Albeit somewhat belated, I felt the desire to present to you the best and the worst of 2008

The Good!

1. A new president! Not that I necessarily had a vendetta against the Dub even though he was obviously a goob, but after eight years of the same guy, a girl needs a fresh face to lead her country into the future. Yes we can? Only if the United States is not made of up citizens as apathetic as me. (Shh).
2. Britney fights back! I love nothing more than a good comeback story, even when the comebackee is a little skanky and talks like an eight year old.
3. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin=Giggles. Wire rimmed spectacles will live in infamy. Plus, Sarah Palin's daughter was pregnant and popped out her infant son merely days before '08 came to a close. D to the Rama. (Sidenote: They named the baby Tripp. I suppose you can't expect much else from a girl named Bristol who hunts moose in her spare time).
4. Heath Ledger and The Dark Night. Why so seeriousss?
5. Gas prices under two dollars. I don't remember a time when I could fill up my tank for less than 25 dollars. That day came in 2008, thus its presence on this list.
6. Portland Trail Blazers. Rudy, LaMarcus, Nicolas, et al are not only the youngest and most attractive team in the NBA, but also appear to be legit competitors. The team has brought the city of Porland to its feet, unifying the people in excitement, pride, and a desire to kiss at least three of the upstanding young gentleman who make up the squad. Muy Caliente.


I'm tired. I'll get back to you with The Worst. Some candidates are the lame recession that ruined Christmas for millions, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Twilight and all the media offspring it has spawned, and California in general. Stay tuned.
