The year began in ruins.

Bereft and alone, I made a list of fourteen things I had to do.  Items like “Learn how to drive a yacht,” and “Have sex with a really hot chick” intermingled with “Make up with G” and “Tell S you’re sorry.”

Today I crossed off the last one.

And as amazing as this year has been, I have only one thing on my list for next year:

It has to be even better.
