And we're off!

So the last trading day of the year has arrived and so far it's looking good.  The predictions for 2009 are pretty bleak, but hey if you have a spare bit of coin it's like shopping at the dollar store.  My friends Shawn convinced me to invest in a Roth IRA for next year so I'm setting that up now,  hopefully it can do a little bit better than my 403(b) did this year because about the only thing that went down faster than my retirement fund was the titanic,  or a drunk girl at the prom.

As for New Years eve, this is going to be the first year that I actually have nothing to do,  all my friends are out of town and nothing seems to be going on.  I could hit up a bar but where is the fun in hanging out at a bar with strangers.  Plus that is a recipie for disaster since when I go out drinking alone I have a tendency to wake up the next morning wondering where I left my pants.

Anywhoo, for anybody reading this I wish you a happy new year!  Drive safe if you are going out, or have fun if you are staying in.  Here is looking to 2009 with a new president and maybe a new perspective for the country.
