It's December of 2004. I'm 27. It seems long overdue considering that I work with computers and websites for a living, but I have decided to start up a journal. Hopefully it doesn't become just another dusty corner of the Internet.

For my first journal entry I think I'll do a year in review, since it seems like as good of a starting spot as any before I talk about actual games and gaming topics. In February I got a puppy Jack Russell Terrier and named him Fenway. He had his first birthday party earlier this month and had his best doggie friends over. Hey, when you're single and don't have any kids pets play that role in your life.

In July I had my first threesome. A strange entry, but if I don't remember it 30 years down the road please shoot me. I had just broken up with a girl I was dating that was really cute but just not my type. Well, she still wanted to be "friends" and who am I to turn down free sex? So one night we went out with a mutual friend ...a girl that I had met over the Internet and became friends with a year before. Well, we have a few drinks, go back to my place ... one thing leads to another and before I know it I'm in bed with two girls. It's funny to be in moments like those, because while you're in them and they're live, you know you'll be flashing back on them for years to come.

My Red Sox won the World Series, coming back from the dead against the Yankees in the ALCS which is either the greatest comeback or greatest choke in sports history, depending on which side you were on. I've been a loyal Sox fan since I started following baseball in the late 90's, so it was great to see them win their first title in 86 years even though I was a fan for a relatively small portion of that.

Around August I met a girl named Amber and we have been boyfriend / girlfriend for a few months now. We're doing the full meal deal, Christmas with each other's families and everything. She's 6'3, and being 6'7 myself I really appreciate that. She's a really awesome person and will hopefully be in my life for a long time. She's not a gamer, but few women are....

So that's my year in review for 2004. I stumbled upon the Gamespot journals a few months ago and have been peeping in on people here and there ever since, so I figure it's only fair that I start a journal of my own.
