2004 To Me From the depths of the apartment complex, accross parking lots and shopping
areas, comes the Ogre. Greetings everyone, due to the fact that I have
entered my column in late I'm pretty sure this won't reach you guys until
the next year, unless by some grace of God (in this case Nolan is God in
this web-based universe) my article has been posted on this very last day
of 2004! (Oops, sorry, couldn't do it.---Nolan [God]) Now there is so much I could talk about, but I'll just let you in
on the few amazing things that I've gotten to experiance in 2004.
The start of the year did not excite me at all considering that I am a bit
of a nut when it comes to things such as the stars, the paranormal, and
anything up that alley! 2004 is the year of the monkey and that always
means bad luck for me, but it wasn't like that at all. This past year I
got to see the Suicide Girls up close and personal and get a taste of what
they really are about not to mention hear some new sounds from groups like
Bloom, RetardoBot, my friends @ Neglected Superhero, and Lethal Injection.
I got the shit beat outta me while watching Gwar, playing pool with a bunch
of rednecks at a few new bars that opened up, and by the Suicide Girls after
their tour while attempting to get an interview with them.
We all truly
rocked the vote this year with one of the most nerve-wracking elections to
date. This past year we also shed many tears to lost loved ones who gave
their lives to protect this country, lives that could have been spared if
not for a certain individual and his hasty actions, lack of judgement, and
lack of common sense.
Not only personal loved ones were lost, but many
famous faces and personalities that we all grew up to love and respect. A
Superman, a man that could see the would far better than we could, a man
whose voice moved mountains, and a man that showed reality not as a cruel
joke, but that even the simplest of things are always perverse!
I got to
witness this year the gathering of many people right on the very site of
ground zero on 9-11-2004. President Bush was re-elected (don't remind me).
I do believe that if I got anything out of this year it
would be that you shouldn't take life for granted and that if we can all
just sit down smoke a pipe and eat pop-tarts, things would be a lot better.
Now that I've rambled about my little slice of these past 12 months, I'm
gonna go hibernate now, and when I return I will be born anew in the year
2005. Hope to see you all there and have a HAPPY NEW
YEAR.................now go home and get drunk: I'm tired!
Love always,
I so apologize for the tardy entry, but I now just got the chance to get
onto a computer. I hope your Christmas was good and the new year should be a bit better. As
for my column, here it goes.
Your neighborhood Ogre
