2007. the worst year since 1984.
(there, edited 3 times)
I’m sure everyone is planning on writing something for new years. This is the time when everyone types paragraphs of pointless shit in hopes to see where they went wrong or struck gold.
I started to think about what I’d write and quickly decided it would be amazingly boring and a little too obvious to summarize my year. Even more boring for people to read, so instead I present my random awards for 2007.
Which are indeed just as boring and pointless to read, but far more fun for me to write, so choke on my cock you fucks.
Best game of 2007:
Super Mario Galaxy.
This year was epic in terms of awesome things to play, but Mario really took me back to the reason I started playing games in the first place. It’s simple and brilliant.
Best Xbox 360 game:
Mass Effect.
Holy fucking shit, I need to spend more time with this game but it’s already my favourite game on the system and finally justifies me owning an xbox 360 since every other game I’ve owned has let me down.
Biggest gaming letdown:
Bioshock.
Everyone was busy sucking this game’s cock and I bought a little into the hype only to be let down by how…plain everything is. No matter what people say, being able to switch from shooting bad guys to shooting lighting bolts at them does not equal innovation. The game is not bad, but I started to really not give a shit about and have not finished it since I lost interest. It sure is pretty…but doesn’t do a whole lot for me.
Best new band I started listening to:
Hammock, Caspian or Stars of the lid.
It’s a toss up. All are amazing and sound different enough from anything else in my collection to be stuck on repeat night after night. Some of those might have been from 2006. I really don't know anymore.
Biggest album letdown:
It’s not bad I guess…but it didn’t touch me like I thought it would. Not like their previous albums which pretty much never left my CD player for months after I got them. I think this is a band in need of a change or something, or perhaps I’m still just burned out on them, whatever the reason I found this album to be a massive disappointment.
Kind of a hard choice to pick just one, but this album is totally different sounding than their previous efforts and I really dig that. Also they are cool dudes and sent me a free copy, so that always helps.
Most annoying song I heard all year:
Someone shut this cunt up before I beat her to death with one of the ipods she’s been trying to help apple sell so bad. I see that commercial 500 times a day and don’t really even watch that much television, how is that possible?
Stupid fucking song.
Best TV show I got into:
Dexter.
A lot of shows suck balls but this one is pretty awesome.
Best movie(s) of 2007:
I am having a hard time remembering and also choosing, so...3:10 to Yuma and Hot Fuzz are all I can mention for now.
Best DVD release:
Blade Runner final cut 5 disc edition.
Not only does it come in an individually numbered briefcase but it includes 5 discs and numerous cuts of the film, also storyboards/set photos and even two little toys. Sure it's $65, but it is a collectors thing. More movies deserve this kind of treatment.
biggest load of shit in the movie industry:
Blu-ray and HD DVD.
What a fucking joke. The DVD format is perfect and anyone saying otherwise is a fucking goof. But no, we need HIGH DEF! so let's attempt to split the market down the middle and create a format war! whoever wins, we all lose.
Best thing I ate in 2007:
KFC on November 23. man that was good
Kurt Vonnegut. So it goes…
Best time seeing Ryan in 2007:
Stephanie. Man she’s weird.
Runner up: The rest of her family.
Other runner up: The girl at 7-11 who always asks for a high five.
Most Annoying Blog post of 2007:
This one. I typed it in word and it's giving me massive trouble with formatting. Fuck blogs.Worst Website of 2007:
facebook. And you're all fags for like it so much.
Alright I am getting sick of this.
It’s also amazing how little of 2007 I can actually recall. I get it mixed up with 2006 easily. It’s felt like a long year, I suppose.
As for resolutions I have none because I never really do.
There are a few things I want to do for no real reason, but I am not going to share those because I don’t want to.
So bring on 2008. I am going to sodomize it and make it mine.

As long as you still love me in spite of the weirdness, I am 100% okay with that award.
I desperately want to steal your idea, but I feel that would be unfair..UNLESS YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT..in which case you should tell me so I can get started because you know it will take me three days to complete.
You should give me your copy of that Explosions in the Sky CD! I don't have it yet.
Okay, time for waffles. And bacon. Mmmm...bacon.
PS You didn't mention any movies. What the hell?
I didn't mention movies because I think I saw so many that my mind was just blank.
I may edit it in a bit though, I already have twice, so why not again.
Hot Fuzz. I am going to rent it and make Fair watch it with me.
I love saying the title. Hot Fuzz.
hey, i get my own category!

I was just going to sit down and write down some year impressions of my own.
310 to Yuma was great, you forget to mention that batman trailer!!
Ummmm a lady at 7-11 always tries to high 5 you? Now this I did laugh at.
It's on.
But I've been saying that since Drayton.
There, everyone has officially posted a comment. It's kind of nice.
We've all come together in one place. Aw. :)
