Year 28 Revisited

It's 2:22 AM in the morning and I can't sleep (whether it be the heat or the sheer boredom of it being my birthday) so I sit here with a glass of Pinot Grigio (what an alcoholic I've become) and decided to look back on Year 28, which should bore me (and you) enough to go to bed proper:
  • I came up with a good metaphor for commitment issues
  • Spent a full year at the apartment (with rent increase and all)
  • Made no career progress whatsoever (Actually, I don't have a career. I have a job.).
  • I bought my first suit and wore it to two weddings (don't worry, they were like 6 months and 3,000 miles apart)
  • Decided I was never drinking again (which lasted for eight days)
  • Got a new iPod...three days before the video iPods came out
  • Added the following movies to the all-time favorites list: Brokeback Mountain, The Constant Gardener, Wedding Crashers (despite the chick flick ending), Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Thank You For Smoking (The Break-Up could make it on the list but I need one more viewing.)
  • Fell asleep more in front of "friends" with cameras
  • Went to my 10 year high school reunion (I still wish I had gotten Aline's e-mail. I forgot how cool she was in high school until I saw her again)
  • Thank you Kaiva for putting me on to Battlestar Galatica. I can't believe there was a time I didn't watch this show.
  • I fell out of love with hip-hop and fell in love with indie rock and pop (Marry me, Jenny Lewis...or at least leave me voicemails every once and awhile)
  • Still now championships for the Yankees, Giants or Knicks (Could someone assassinate Isiah Thomas and James Dolan? Please?)
  • Jack Bauer killed more people
  • We still have no clue where the fuck Jack, Kate, Sawyer or Locke are or what it all means.
  • Disappointed by X-Men: The Last Stand and Superman Returns (Don't let me down, Spider-Man 3)
  • Got the "No P For Me" watch (and...I was right)
  • Saw Jay-Z and Lewis Taylor in concert.
  • Still single (much like all of 27 and 26). Not even a glimmer of hope in the horizon and I don't necessarily know how much I care about that.
Let's see how 29 plays out.

Shit, I'm still not sleepy. Maybe more wine would help.
