Ok, I have tried this blog thing with MySpace, and Facebook, and even Blogger before. I was never able to keep up with it. I would do ok for a week or so, but then lose interest. The same will probably happen here, so please if you are already eagerly anticipating the next post based on this dynamic first post do not become too attached or expect there to be a whole lot more.
I guess I will start off with my top 10 list of things I am looking forward to this year:
10. The final season of the Wire - Yes, this already happened, but it was still one of my most anticipated things of 2008. It ended well enough. Overall though, it gets moved to the 10 spot because the season, while still the best thing on television, was not quite as good as seasons 3 & 4. And they f*cked Omar.
9. The return of The Office - Funniest show on television. And Jenna Fischer is the hottest actress on television. I would have her babies (you know, once science makes that possible).
8. The return of Lost - Now that the end date has been set, they are just knocking every episode out of the park. Plus it has one of the best comicbook authors writing for them, Mr. Brian K. Vaughn (If you have not done so, go read Y The Last Man right now, not this silly blog... seriously).
7. Bike riding season - Sure it comes around every year. Sure it is nothing "special", but the highlights of my past three summers have included spending time on the trails with Gwen and just enjoying the weather.
6. Final Crisis - Grant Morrison gets to run wild with the DC Universe, all of it. This should be amazing. I just hope I understand it.
5. Batman - Grant Morrison has built a story over his run on this title that is confusing at times, but has already had a number of shocking and cool payoffs if you stick with it. Plus DC finally made one of the best artist choices of all time and got Tony *$&#ing Daniel to do the monthly art on this book. It is just an awesome book.
4. Graduating from Kent State with my MLIS - I am having a hard time believing that it was really two years ago that I started work on this degree. The time has gone by quick, but then I have been pretty busy. It will be a relief to have it done, and I am eager to see where the degree takes me career wise. (For those that don't know, MLIS is a Master's of Library and Information Science. I will now be able to apply for professional librarian jobs. Don't hate me for having such an exciting career :-)
3. DMUNY's wedding - My buddy is getting married. I thought we were just getting out of recess and worrying about who gets next in TecmoBowl the other day... damn, time flies. But this, this will be fun.
2. DMUNY's bachelor party - I am best man, so I guess that means I am in charge of this thing. I hope I can pull off something cool. And something that keeps us all out of prison.
1. The Dark Knight - Sorry Dan, I am looking forward to your wedding, but this movie is the most anticipated event of the year for me. I have been looking forward to this since the credits hit on Begins. And every single thing they have done on the way to this movies release has done nothing but amp up my anticipation. The viral marketing, the first images, the unbelievable trailer, and the kick-ass IMAX preview. R.I.P. Heath Ledger.
