Reviving A Tradition: Post Hoc

Hey, kids! Remember when I used to fill out year-end surveys? I know, it was like forever ago. Well, better late than never. He'e-it-is for 2008.

1) DRINKING BUDDY OF THE YEAR
Amanda parties pretty hard. And she's got the cast to prove it!

2) LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD (longest known friend) -
Wayne. That crazy 'queen. Since before I could cross the street...

3) NEWCOMER AWARD - COOLEST NEWEST FRIEND?
My co-workers are awesome. Ed, Dan, Heather, Rachel, Markie (What am I???), Mauricio ("Oh no..."), Erick, Andres, Alfred, and Jorge.

4) HIGH POINT OF THE YEAR?
Getting a job, and the subsequent raises, was relieving to say the least. Meeting Frank Darabont was SWEET. But I'd have to say that my trip to New York was the number 1 thing I did this year.

5) LOW POINT OF THE YEAR?
I've been sick a lot. Amanda breaking an ankle sucked. But my the worst news I heard all year was when George Carlin died. I wrote about it. I shed a tear. It was bad.

6) BEST HOLIDAY?
I know it's not an official holiday but Victoria's birthday was reedonkulous. Leave it to my mormon (accidentally typed moron there for a second) friends to bring the lesbian orgy.

7) YOUR SONG FOR 2007?
I did buy an iPod this year but it's so hard to narrow it down to one. I only bought one CD that came out in 2008. It was Metallica's "Death Magnetic." If I had to choose a track from it, I'd pick Unforgiven III. Sure, that'll do.

8) MOVIE FOR 2007?
Ironman and The Dark Knight can fight this one out to the death.

9) WHO DID YOU SPEND VALENTINES WITH?
Not alone, thankfully.

10) WHAT WERE YOU FOR HALLOWEEN?
I was a Top Gun pilot. I had originally bought a John Lennon costume but that looked horrendously goofy. It wasn't intended. I still have it too. You want it?

11) RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR.
I'm gonna have to say Jillian's at CityWalk for one reason only: The Pizza Burger. Think about it...

12) KISS OF THE YEAR?
Every single one of them. Me likey mucho.

13) BEST DECISION MADE THIS YEAR?
Buying my TV has been a pretty solid investment (Tell that to my ass!). Driving down to San Diego to vote was pretty solid of me (and we all know how that went). I think the decisions that got me to New York may have this thing won.

14) WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR?
Errr, this year. I will likely shoot another movie. That would be wise. I'm probably gonna get my own place at some point. Who knows what'll happen with a lot of things in my life this year. Hopefully all good stuff.

15) MOST STUPID IDEA WHEN DRUNK?
Salsa dancing. It should be noted that this wasn't me.

16) TV SHOW OF THE YEAR?
The Office never disappointed this year.

17) MOST LOYAL FRIEND?
Amanda wins it. 2 years in a row. Y'all gotta work on your Aaron-friendin'.

18) BIGGEST DOUCHEBAG?
Max (my former roommate), Jeff the Chef, John McCain, Alain (the DP on the reality show), Pacman Jones, Geraldo, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Mitt Romney, Rudy Guiliani, Glenn Beck, The Jonas Brothers, Ryan Seacrest, Lance Burton, David Caruso, Dick Cheney, and of course, George W. Bush.

19) BIGGEST WHOREBAG?
Sarah Palin.

20) NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?
None. Fuck it!
