Question of the Year


TonyRage

Recommended Posts

So....I am far away and haven't been up to date with the haps in the homeland. Paul Martin, Mad Cow exports and Dalton McGuinty, but I still want to hear what's up. So tell me all, what were your biggest smiles and biggest frowns of 2003?

My biggest smiles:

Travelling

Phish back in action

Right Thur

The picture of drunken me and three kids at Lose Yer Shoes with the kids holding a bong and wearing Simpsons Dead and Phish shirts

Jared's poor attempt to find a heady wife and then finding one and then losing one.

Canada staying out of an illegal war.

Brief decriminalisation of Pot

My biggest frowns:

George Bush's war on the world

Chretien's retirement 3 months early

Loss of frontier town for the CTMF

So now it's out to you guys....let's hear it...

Biggest Smiles:

  • Writing this out for TonyRage
    Seeing Radiohead for the first time, and it being better than I possibly could have imagined
    Getting my Phish mojo back after seeing them for the first time since Hiatus
    Meeting tons of cool cats on this board
    Experiencing new found friends and old ones, experiencing new things (music mainly)
    Finding out I can enjoy my career, and learn from it, even though I would rather have none
    Falling in love everyday with my wife (trust me, that isnt corny)
    Trying new foods, the top one this year thus far has been Vietnamese soup
    The bonds I formed on my longest road trip
    Reading Jaimoe's Best and Worst of anything (we are so different sometimes)

Biggest Frowns:

Hate this question, but considering the circumstances, I will do what I can.

  • Jerry as well
    Friends that missed *something*, yet should have been there , but I couldnt talk them into it
    The Hoagie House (Jaimoe, we need confirmation on this rumour. If this is gone, I am going to lose it)
    Hangovers and being so slow some mornings that a 5 minute job took 2 hours
    Not meeting TonyRage, or not remembering it

I will find out about this tomorrow. If it is gone, Davey Boy may already be standing on a ledge of a tall building.
