the year in review

December 30th, 2003 · 6 Comments

er, or not.

i contemplated writing such a post, as this is the proper time and all, however, well it seems like a lotta work. I mean, any way you cut it–if i were to limit it to a review of my year, of major events in the world, hell even major events in paris hilton’s world-i’d still have to research shit, and that my friends ain’t gonna happen,

well, ok, i’ll do a little…

2003 was the year that jefke.com offically became a blog, morphing from my personal websheet/soapbox/solopsistic haven. she’s been through some stages she has, from the straight dreamweaver written html of 2001, to the php post nuke crap of this feb/march to the piece of movable type art you see today. god only knows what’s next.

on some levels it was a pretty big year in ‘adult like matters’. sadly i’m referring to things that mature people do, not things with which that cormac’s and his company deal, (ah smut sweet sweet smut). i went from being a 9 buck an hour temporay stafffing agency placed receptionist in december of 2002 to a contracted on paper but not in spirit, home office type consultant, to a full blown ‘gee they are actually giving me health insurance’ employee of a profitable company. then i bought a new car, then we bought a house. so in that sense, i went from gen x’er trapped in 1997 to er, a gen x’er of 2000, hopefully by being 3 years behind i can avoid the bankrupt gen x’er of 2001 and 2002 and skip right up to 2003, thus effectively catching up with myself, but not getting ahead of myself. wait, what? hmm. nevermind.

i’d love to construct a ‘best of 2003′ list, but ‘f’ that, i dont’ have the energy. lets see, we invaded iraq, we unleashed our most potent weapon of mass destruction, paris hilton to infect the world with a 2 pronged attact of semi erotic night vision goggle porn and intellegence robbing reality TV. I’d like to see some fringe group pull off that one-two punch.

at one point this year the country was almost out of plastic sheeting and duct tape, and it had nothing to do with S&M.

i witnessed both 3 feet of snow, and a hurricane, and more importantly, how both events shut down maryland.

i now play at least one game of ping pong each weekday.

I saw wawa fall of a curb, stone sober (both he and i).

pretty much everyone i know is suddently married, or getting married, pregnant or just had a kid. crazy.

i now know how to install a thermostat, dimmer switch, insulation and how to use a caulk gun/bead tool. I also now have a basic understanding of how escrows are set up and work (are you looking at my guy? i’m working on it. )

oh yeah, i turned 30

hmm, that’s all i can think of now.

    Way to throw a few Paris Hilton references in there for Google.

    You forgot to mention Paris Hilton fucking and Johnny Dep (Depp).

    How about your wife kicking ass in all her pre-req’s and then getting into nursing school? Maintaining a 4.0, despite the online statistics class. Hmmm? But glad to see you remembered Paris Hilton.

    hey, if you want to talk about yourself, i can give you your own blog. jefke.com is not parishilton.com

    I thought my life had just a little bit of impact on yours. Thought these events were significant to you, too.

    it was a very impressive year, in which natasha finalizied her decision on, prepared for (with great success), applied to, and got into nursing school.
