Welcome back to my 97 Part Year in Review! If you have missed the previous 18 parts, that is too bad for you. The following is Part 19, Winners and Losers of 2009. The winners are not quite as dramatic as the losers, so we'll start with the winners:
WINNERS
Josh Grobin. Man can this dude sing. Psych! Total loser.
Azalea, my newest niece born December 19, 2009. Well done Azalea, so happy you are here!
Lady Gaga. No, I'm serious. If you haven't seen the SNL performance by her, check it out now. It was amazing and comepletely changed my opinion of freak-show, 20-something, I-want-to-make-a-statement female vocalists. She is a freak-show but totally awesome.
Chef Kroll. Our dog, who went from squalid, outdoor fencepost living to luxury condominium accomodations because of those big ears and his ability to make my wife's heart melt.
Shannon. My wife, who without her, I don't know where I'd be.
LOSERS
Nancy Pelosi. I know I said we wouldn't discuss politics here but seriously, Nancy Pelosi.
Josh Groban.
Anyone with swine flu. That sucks.
Well that's it. It took extensive research and an exhaustive review process but I feel like we really narrowed down 2009's biggest winners and losers. Keep checking back for part 34 of my 163 Part 2009 Year in Review where we'll discuss exciting 2009 events like my really close parking spot at Kroger on a Sunday and selling an entertainment stand on Craig's List.
