Favorite 2008 Memory?

Mine would be watching to stock market plummet to two thirds it's value while I was way too poor to invest. I came into some money right around the time it hit 7K and invested then.


yay! one win for the poor guy!

Israel bombing the shit out of muslims and telling the world to piss off when told to stop. Much like another country who arbirarily invaded a muslim nation for no real reason but lots of symbolic reason. He who waits ingraciates. And for the rest of you, "fo realiz, yo!".

That one evening I had sex...or something like it.

This was not a good year for me. Pretty much all my best friends have moved - not just out of town but out of the country. I have exactly one good friend left in town. Time to make new friends but I'm averse to change. Everyone I know/knew were people I had shared 6-10 years of history with. Now, I've one best friend (whom I've known since 2000). I need to make new friends but I just feel lost. I try to hang out with new people from work but I usually end up boring them with tales of my old buds and all the awesome (or not) stuff we did a long time ago.

Someone cast me a +8 Social -6 Negativity spell?

There were a few days in June when I was making it with the hottest chick that had ever given me the time of day when I was traveling around India. The rest of the year sucked.

Going to the Republican Rally and Straw Poll in St Petersburg.. and seeing that it was completely and utterly dominated by the Ron Paul crowd.. My friends and I expected to be the fringe.. but instead, we were surrounded by more than 500 Ron Paul supporters.. The next highest amount of support was for Mitt Romney.. with maybe 30 total supporters. Guilliani had 2 supporters.. I didn't see a single McCain supporter. Mitt Romney supporters bought a TON of straw poll tickets and were voting multiple times.

Then.. I read in the St Pete Times about how Mitt Romney dominated the straw poll.. with hardly a mention of the massive amount of Ron Paul support.. and I finally saw first-hand how awful and biased our media is..

I'm glad I was there.

Geez.

I am lucky to say I had many good ones...

#1 probably is getting drunk with my dad in Paris and then going out into the cold to do night photography. Or perhaps walking Omaha beach with him in Normandy.

The scene in the delivery room:
Honey, can you, you know, move things along? Game's on tonight. Ouch! I'm sorry but it's the Phillies and it's the World Series, baby. Wow, I've never heard you use that word before.

Almost It was a scheduled C-section, so I was yelling at the doctors to move things along

In addition to the birth of my daughter and Phillies winning the world series, would be watching the Eagles make the playoffs by DESTROYING the cowgirls.
