What have you learned so far in 2009?

[Duck Sandwich]

I've learned of the existence of last.fm, thanks to Eggo.

I've also learned that loneliness leads to some pretty fucked up sleeping patterns. Lately, I've been going to sleep at 11:30PM, waking up at 4:30AM and going back to sleep, then waking up at 7:30 and going back to sleep, then finally getting up for good at 8:30 in the morning.

I have a massive inferiority complex. This mainly stems from me not having really done anything with my life, never really getting into certain hobbies. I didn't take much of an interest in sports/exercise until the 8th grade, and I made crappy high school class choices. Should have taken drama and music. Hell, it wasn't until 2008 until that I decided that I wanted to be a radio announcer, followed by possibly later on becoming a martial arts instructor.

Firing shotgun rounds into the air is not the best way to celebrate new years.

Having a ""holiday"" on a Wednesday pretty much kills the whole week. I have to work on the 31st and the 1st and everyone that didn't sure as hell took advantage of that fact.

The word 'Hotdog' in English is pronounced with a T, not 'Hadowg'.

Being polite pays off very nicely with the ladies.

Drunk people are both hilarious and pitiful.

The rum is truly all gone.

It's now 2008 + 1, much unlike the previous year's 2007 + 1 or the pessimist's 2008 - 1.
Wearing sunglasses while "sleeping" is a great way to scare the shit out of people.
Watermelons do not survive ten-shot fireworks, especially when said fireworks are lodged inside one. Watch out for pip shrapnel!

No matter what, it can always get worse.

Life is hard.

Sleep isn't necessary.

I need a new computer.

I can get away with ignoring teachers as long as I: A) look interested and B) Describe everything in a long and slightly confused way.

Some fireworks are meant to be defect. Seriously, someone I know had bought a battery exactly the same as last year, and it exploded beautifully, exactly the same as last year.

Jeez, it's been one day and all the new year threads have disappeared? Anyways, have you learned in 2009 so far?

There is nothing wrong with copying your 101% platinum cars Burnout Paradise gamesave to an external memory, then playing Burnout Paradise for 9 hours solid, just to get the trophies you deserve but attained before the trophy patch was released which they didn't make retroactive.

As long as your wife is watching Grey's Anatomy.

Edit: We'll see if my original save goes back on properly. This could make all of the above very wrong.
*Fingers crossed*

Vh1 countdowns suck because all choices are prepicked

Everybody thinks older is better

New Year Fireworks in suburbs are illegal

The guy from King of Queens still thinks hes funny

Some how I can make acrostics with out realizing it

 

[Ace of Spades]

My computer hates me.

 

[Bowstring]

Never wear sunglasses to a funeral.
