Two Thousand Nine.

Here we go, folks. It's going to be one hell of a ride.

In lieu of listing resolution(s), I've put together a list phrases based on events and occurrences that I anticipate saying this year. Some are definitely going to happen, some just might, some are wishful thoughts, some are happy, some are crappy, some are personal, some are universal, some are trivial, some are crucial.

Either way, in no particular order, here we g'09...
