New Years Eve 2004 ended on a really high note as Rich, Jon, Lisa and I ended the most enjoyable and productive year of my life with 30 something Jagermeister shots. Thus here is my second annual year end wrap up in classic Webster style -- a few days late, still a little hung over, way too long winded and a fairly short of entertaining.

January of last year started on a little bit of a skid for myself, a skid on 95 Northbound in Providence to be exact. As some a-hole in a beat up pickup truck decided to cut me off, unfortunately sending Lisa and I into an unwanted evening of destruction derby in a mostly plastic Acura. The result of the damage to my car was pretty awful .. but thankfully nobody was injured and that is the important thing.

If that wasn’t enough, February of last year took my grandfather from us thus reaffirming the fact that the month of February generally sucks balls. He will never be forgotten or even closely matched with his wisdom and character. Unfortunately overshadowed by my grandfathers death was the Patriots second super bowl victory, hardly a wash in my book.

March was pretty uneventful but was spent with many nights breaking in our newest roommate, Black Mariah the kegarator. Since her arrival we have torn through about 18 kegs of beer. In anticipation of BM figured we would save money, but it turns out having a seemingly never ending supply of beer in the house is not such a great idea financially or for your liver.

April marked the beginning of a very long but tremendous Baseball season. We decided that the First Yankees/Red Sox home game at Fenway Park was the perfect time to complete the “999 Dream Challenge.” The 999 Dream Challenge is to eat 9 hot dogs, drink 9 beers inside the span of 9 innings of baseball. We had a few (15) friends over the house, 9 participants, 1 Keg and over 150 hot dogs on the stove! In the end we had 4 winners, friends who truly understood the meaning of a fart joke, a very unfavorable view of hotdogs, and a house that smelled of a gaseous mix of ass, ketchup and the Oscar Meyer Meat factory .

Most of May was spent trying to get “that smell” out of the house and we also played a ton of MLB 2004 for Playstation 2. We drank, watched the sox, drank, watched the sox, repeat. Next!

In June Lisa and I took a trip up to upstate NY to cash in my Christmas gift, a white water rafting weekend up in the Adirondack Mountains. It was an incredible amount of fun floating down the Hudson river on a raft. The beautiful scenery and the occasional category 4 rapids were the perfect combination to produce a unbelievable weekend, we both can’t wait to go again this upcoming spring.

July was a great month for me professionally as I was finally able to bid adieu to the daily headaches and prison style ass rapings of working at Mediaweave. I was extended an gracious offer and moved to much greener pastures at Digitas in Boston. I have indeed missed all my friends at Mediaweave and they will never be forgotten. The very friendly and talented souls at Digitas have welcomed me with open arms making the transition one of the best moves of my life. However, my time spent at Mediaweave was not an entire waste professionally.. I learned how not to treat employees and how not to manage projects.

The end of July and beginning of August was spent with the greatest crew of friends a guy could ask for in the greatest city in the world, Sin City. The Au Jus Crew and I went to Vegas for a friend’s (Ray Corsini) bachelor party. There were many great memories of 48 hour spans of time fueled solely by alcohol and red bull. Thanks to all that made that trip so successful and yet another cheers to Ray and Hung for finally getting hitched. If you ever travel to Vegas, make sure to keep a close eye on your beer while on the strip, it may be stolen and consumed by Hairy Harry, the pant-less vagrant.

September kicked off football season and pants optional Sundays .. Jon and myself vowed during the first Patriots game to drink a shot of Jagermeister for each Patriot touchdown scored this season. This week marked the end of the Patriots regular season and to date we have consumed over 55 shots each of Jagermeister on Sundays over the past 16 weeks. As for the upcoming playoffs the stakes have raised and we may need to increase the touchdown celebration to a Jager shot and gunning an entire beer, although my liver may go on strike if that happens.

We all know what happened in October, our boys in Red finally snapped the curse. Thus ending probably the drunkest 2 weeks of my life, Sundays were spent on the couch cheering the patriots on their winning streak and the weeknights spent in random bars in Boston and Providence cursing like hookers at the likes of A-rod, Jeeter and the rest of the ass-clowns in pinstripes. Truly a great month as we finally were able to watch the Hated Yankees choke, Jenna Jameson style.

November was an interesting month which included a heated presidential election and a road trip to Buffalo, NY to watch our beloved Pats stomp all over the Bills. The Buffalo fans were surprisingly friendly with each personally asking us to “please, please – take Drew Bledsoe back to New England with you.” There were some really good times spent “representin” as we all walked into crowded sports bars decked heads to toe with Patriots gear and we even snuck flasks of Jager into Ralph Wilson Stadium to continue the September tradition of a shot per touchdown. I would venture to say the crowd was 45% Patriots fans and 55% Bills fans, an awesome showing of Patriots support.

December is always a great month, not only do I get to celebrate Christmas and the New Year .. but I get to throw myself a birthday party between the two events. This year I also received the added bonus to spend the holidays with not only my family but also with the flu.

2004 will defiantly go down in my history books as one of the best years of my life, I have high aspirations for 2005 as I hope you do as well.

I just want to take a moment to also thank you, anonymous visitors and my friends, for continually visiting here and adding your much appreciated .02 cents on “Dis ole website”. You too have also added to my success story which was 2004 as this website has reached a level of popularity which I could never have wished for.

Cheers.
