The Biggest and Best of 2005
Posted on January 03, 2006 in LifeOne of my new years resolutions is to contribute to this site more often than I have. My other resolution involves a monkey, a steering wheel to a 64 Chevy and an Izod sweater, but more on that later ..
2005 sucked. There were Hurricanes, Train Bombings, War, Tsunami's, death and all sorts of destruction. I think most of us are glad its behind us on the calendar and looking forward to a bright 2006.
Usually every year I write an end of year wrap up kind of highlighting the year, I’m going to do it a bit differently this year highlighting single moments or events I want to point out.
Happy New Year everyone -- goodluck in 2006.
The Biggest Disappointment of 2005: The Boston Bruins, could they suck any more? I mean they start with a clean slate and have to rehire everybody on the team and tons of players shuffle around. We start the season thinking we were going to the Stanley Cup finals and here we are. Almost last in the NHL needed to go undefeated for an entire month just to make the playoffs. A big FU to Harry Sinden (owner of the Boston Bruins) yet again.
Best Drunk moment of 2005: After a weekend of constant ridicule by us when in Cooperstown NY at the baseball hall of fame. Matt told some girl in Cooperstown NY that he was getting a nose job and he would be much better looking.
Tastiest Beverage of 2005: That first Sam Adams Octoberfest in Boston after going to a sox game. Boy that was a good one. So were his 12 or 13 cousins that followed.
Best Sportsrelated TV moment of 2005: The Patriots Beating the Eagles to win their 3rd superbowl and the absolute lack of acknowledgement by Jesse (Ex roommate and HUGE eagle fan)
Best Movie in 2005: 40 year old Virgin and Spiderman 2 come into mind.
Biggest Rivalry of 2005: Sox / Yankees .. of course.
Biggest Idiot of 2005: Easy, Johnny Damon
Favorite Gadget Purchased in 2005: Palm Treo 650
Best Book read in 2005: Moneyball or DaVinci Code
Best cartoon of 2005: Family Guy .. Just watch this season first 2 minutes of the first episode. It was locked in right then. (honorable mention: Robot Chicken)
Best television show of 2005:
Got to be “Mythbusters” on the Discovery Channel. I’m such a dork but that’s a cool ass show.
2005's biggest Asshole: Ron Artest or T.O. Being a scab to a team is nothing new but T.O. makes it an art form. However I think the edge goes to Artest for pummeling a fan with his fist. (honorable mentions: Michael Jackson-just fade away already and Larry Luchino-I hate you.)
Best comatose patient whom refused to die until the feeding tube was removed in 2005: Terry Schiavo
Most fucking annoying style od 2005: popped collar.
Best CD relased in 2005: Jack Johnson "In between Dreams"
(honorable mention: Coldplay "X&Y")
Most disappointing CD relased in 2005: Audioslave "Out of Exile" .. Zach please come back.
Best Concert Attended in 2005: Coldplay
Most "extreme" thing done in 2005: scuba diving
Most uncomfortable moment witnessed in 2005: Ashlee Simpson on SNL.
2005's Best week: Vacationing in the Dominican with Lisa.
2005's Worst week: The following week after being in the Dominican spent on the toilet when I had "Montezuma’s revenge." I don't know what happened to Montezuma.. But he sure is pissed. Somebody owes him an incredible apology.
Best Celebrity breakup in 2005: Nick and Jessica, who thought that he could live with that retard for that long. Tuna chicken of the sea? I'd ask for the divorce right then and there and slap her on the way out. That family should donate 50% of its earnings to the United States School System because it obviously isn’t working.
Most physically uncomfortable moment in 2005: Can anybody say rectal exam?
Worst disaster of 2005: Philadelphia Eagles (what were you expecting a Tsunami or Hurricane? Yeah I guess those sucked too)

RE: Bruins - come on how can you be disappointed in a team that is a constant let down. Your biggest disappointment should be more like you didn't get to marry Jessica Simpson and then at the Simpson family reunion tool on her sister Ashlee for her SNL performance and then announce to the family you only married her because she wasn't giving it up before then and now that you have had Daisy Duke for a few years you have had enough.
RE: 40 Year Old Virgin - Good call, I watched the unrated version and I don't think I have heard more flith in a regular movie. Total guy movie, women can't relate to the whole pee scene. :) I would have to add Anchorman in there, even though its old (not 2005) you need to watch it like 10 times to really appreciate this movie I got to watch it this year more than that many times I think.
RE: Book and CD - Can you get anymore mainstream? Coldplay X&Y isn't that good and Jack Johnson is a pick that appears not mainstream but really is.
RE: Best TV - I am down with Myth Busters but I don't like all these new intern type people on the show, especially when they run the whole experiment. I think Dr. 90210 on E beats that though. E's editing crew has really got the minimal blur down. Dr. Rey is the man. The guy is not in the examine room 2 seconds and they are showing it all.
Happy New Year ... Don't forget on next years list Fluties Dropkick,
Hey B, if my music is too mainstream that’s because that’s all that I was subjected to. I was going to mention Death Cab for Cutie’s “Plans" but all of the sudden they are super mainstream too.
The Mars Volta didn’t impress me that much, or at least enough to require 30 hours of "getting to know ya" time that is required of a top release...
So make me a recommendation ...
P.S. The Bruins do suck and are known for letting people down, it doesn’t make it hurt any less..
P.S.S The Patriots threw that game and we all know it.
Im just messing with you on music. I actually just watched Wedding Crashers today. Netflix is fast! The un-rated version has a few extra scenes.
