And now for a real post!

First off, if you haven't heard the new Duran Duran album, I highly recommend giving it a listen.

I know I say this all the time, but I really am going to try to stop being such a LiveJournal leech.  Why don't I start off with a recap of last year?

For starters, 2004 contained some of the saddest moments of my life, as I lost my grandpa (mom's dad) to a battle with lung and brain cancer in July, and then my grandma (dad's mom) to a massive heart attack in December.  This was especially hard for me as I had not lost a family member since my great-grandmother when I was 3 (1983), and so it was a pretty new experience for me.

2004 also had some really great moments as well.  I started my first real job on January 5th.  Along with this came lots of new stuff.  A new car, a new HDTV, stuff like that.  Shortly after that, Melissa took a job at Bed Bath & Beyond, where she was promoted only a week after starting.  Things pretty much continued to go well, and then last fall, she found a job in her field, so that was pretty exciting for us.

Melissa and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on November 29th.  Yay :)

For Christmas I got tons of good stuff, including a badass laptop and Half-Life 2.  If anyone who reads this has it, we should play sometime.

I'm going to be posting some cool news soon, so I promise not to take so long between posts.
