The 2002 Review.

December 27, 2002 8:15 p.m.

My end of the year review. This past year has been pretty uneventful, for me at least, although I have had my highs of life. Listed below are things that have been Dooley noted, and thought upon, whether it pertains to my life or just plain nonsense. They say you learn something new everyday, but I doubt I�ll find 365 things to list, but I�ll list what I�ve remembered.

1) Lord of the Rings � The Two Towers grossed $136.2 million after just eight days from its theatrical release

2) Never take anyone for granted, you never know when they�ll be gone.

3) If you love someone, you should tell them right then, or the moment can just pass you by.

4) The sudden and staggering collapse of Enron--which only a few months ago was the seventh biggest corporation in America--left thousands unemployed.

5) Look over your shoulder- there may be a sniper.

6) When you�re awake at 3 in the morning�.just turn to Disney channel for ABC reruns.

7) Wal-Mart does not support the various sizes of women�s feet.

8) It�s better to fly from Michigan to Florida rather than to take a 26 hour drive.

9) Nsync guys went on to make solo names for themselves, yet still have four guys dancing and singing behind the solo �artist�.

10) Meat is not hard to give up.

11) Avril Lavigne does not equal punk or skater.

12) he is sexy!

13) James Patterson�s writing gets better with his age.

14) Michael Jackson should not be able to have children.

15) Biggest Television show of the fall season was all about Karaoke, that says a lot about us Americans �American Idol�

16) I have the best friends in the world.

17) When you have a headache, sitting in front of the computer will not help at all

18) All my diaries fans are the coolest people ever.

19) Never disagree with someone who always thinks they�re right, it�s pointless. (and this is directed to one person, you know who you are).

20) Never bring a puppy home two days before Christmas. Chewed presents are not a plus.

21) If you can live off Ramen noodles and Nyquil�welcome to my club.

22) The Fifth Amendment is your friend.

23) The Red wings win their third Stanley cup in six years�you do the math.

24) Kevin Smith does �roadside attractions� on Jay Leno.

25) I still blame Canadians.

26) Never go to �Wal �Mart� if you�re in a hurry.

27) Nick Carter of the backstreet boys went solo too? It�s a conspiracy; maybe the government is hiding subliminal messages in their music for the younger more impressionable minds that listen to that crap.

28) Counting Crows IS the best band.

29) Dan and Justin are crazy kids =P

30) New Zealand = Zen.
