Dear 2008

Dear 2008,

Thinking back to all you did, you've been an interesting year as far as years go. Started off with a fancy pants internship, then serving burritos and margaritas, then Yankee stadium and the end of college and final papers and final projects and just final things.

Then I said good bye to New York, said hello to Australia, said hello to my basement, said hello to a fancy serving job, said hello to 5 stitches on my finger, then good bye to the stitches, hello to a scar, good bye to the basement, good bye to the job and then re-hello to New York and hello to an apartment and a job, then quickly good bye to the apartment and the job, and then a quick hello to a new apartment and that's where we are now.

You were a year of expectations and of inevitabilities, with some surprises thrown in just for kicks. And now you make me wait. Just wait until 2009 when things are supposed to happen. I guess it's fitting that we're in a presidential transition period, because that's mainly what you've been 2008, a transition year.

So cheers 2008, and let's hope you elected someone who gets things done with 2009

Asher
