The Top Ten Reasons 2009 Sucked

Even though Top Ten lists have been scientifically proven to be complete B.S., here is why this last year totally sucked.

10. I had to admit that Daughtry is really good.

9. Despite being thankful to still have a job, the bonuses that make up a considerable part of my compensation package have taken a significant decline.

8. The Wii is broken.

7. I've abandoned more writing projects than I've sold.

6. I haven't spoken to my Dad all year for no reason other than we're both apparently pretty darn lazy.

5. I'm on cholesterol medication number three and I can't tolerate the side effects of it either.

4. I couldn't quite think up enough tidbits from this year to even describe ten ways it sucked.

3. I had a chance to go to Thailand with the Marines but blew it because no one told me I needed a passport until I showed up to get my plane ticket.

2. See Number Four.

1. I lived to regret saying, "If an Obama presidency is the price we have to pay to put the final nail in the coffin of the Clinton Legacy, I can accept that."

I am sorry 2009 sucked for you but I got a chuckle from you list!

Then my purpose in life is complete. Glad you liked it.

at least #1 wasn't that you didn't get to do anymore slushing for RBE. :) That comes in February - so don't be gone to Thailand then!

(p.s. - I loved the real #1 - though I never would have said that myself)

I return from Washington D.C. on Feb 5th and will have prepared myself by trudging through slush for two weeks.

The Obama/Clinton comment was made to a coworker back when we weren't sure if he'd get the nomination. At the time, the last thing I wanted to see was another, more ideologically driven, Clinton in the White House. Now I'm afraid that's the second to last thing I wanted to see. At least she would have understood the concept of triangulation and we'd get something out of the deal.
