Suck it, 2008!

We attended the New Year's Eve party at the Alamo Drafthouse this year. The party was hosted by our friend Henri. That's him in the picture above.

We will likely post many more pictures from the party at a later date. For now, I just want to focus on the new year.

What sucked most in 2008...
Michigan football

What I look forward to most in 2009...
Michigan football (not actually the thing I look forwad to most, but the number one thing would be so awesome that I don't want to jinx it)

What disappointed me in 2008...
I'm so fat that many of my shirts don't fit anymore.

What I want to change in 2009...
I want to throw out all my shirts and replace them with ones that fit. (Did you think for a second that I would make a resolution to lose weight in 2009? You obviously don't know me. It would be awesome to lose weight, but... like... that's a total jinx.)

What I did too much in 2008...
Sat at home. Seriously. This town is incredible with lots of live music and cool events and I sit at home most weekends. I need to get out more. I need to get my wife out more. We need to enjoy this town!

What I want to do more of in 2009...
Blog. It's fun to pretend that people read this and care.

Band that sucked in 2008...
Sorry Death Cab for Cutie, but Narrow Stairs was probably your worst album. I still have faith. Ben needs to get fat again!

Band I'm watching in 2009...
This is tough. I think it's a tie between Thursday and Jimmy Eat World. However, a band I've never heard of will likely blow me away and make this whole section moot.

2009 will be known as the year of the...
Narwhal. You just wait. They're ferocious and they've been waiting for 2009!

Happy New Year everyone! Go Red Wings. Go Tigers. Go Pistons. Go Wolverines. Go Owls. Watch out for narwhals in 2009. Good night.
