Year In Review: Part I

2006 was by all accounts a busy year. I got engaged, left a great job or more specifically had a great job leave me at the end of 2005, found another great job, spent nearly every second of my summer with friends and at various cottages, and taking part in things I absolutely love doing (golf/fishing/poker/lounging etc.) moved into a much better situation, and in general from start to finish, would consider 2006 my favourite year of existence. I was even named Times "Person of the Year". I'll take you from time to time through my 2006 highlights, for now lets start at the beginning with January, and more specifically the first 3 seconds:

This video will show you the final 7 seconds of 2005, and the first 3 seconds of 2006. The remaining 2 minutes of footage on this video will remain in my safety deposit box.

2006 parties came fast and often which is all part of the enjoyment. My new fiance and her best friend turned 30 within the same week, and my fiances best friends' husband, who happens to be my best friend, threw a big party at one of the hottest downtown night clubs for them. And thanks to the great job that gave me ample notice of my departure, and ample time to utilize my corporate VISA card before officially being sacked, the party was a big success. The first order of the night: 2 40's of Vodka, 1 26er of Rye, 1 26er of Rum with tip, nearly $1,000. That's a lot of money booze. Thank goodness we had 35 of our closest friends there that night to help.

I recall walking around the party attempting to be involved in a successful "That Guy" picture. Well, it's pretty obvious I was more than successful with this Gem. I'll call it "4 Gorgeous Ladi...hey who's that guy?"

















The party continued well into the morning, and against my dragged across a parking lot will, this lovely picture was taken. My Bride and her best friends.


Sure there are a lot of pictures in between those two, but most of them shouldn't be shown, as they are the reason parties become classics or the phrase "What Happens @ the Party, stays @ the Party" was invented. Friends that had too much to drink, friends that got escorted out, some that got into a fight on their way out, and a lot of the other pictures involve my female friends kissing other female friends! And those too will remain in my safety deposit box...until blackmail or profit is required.

That's the first 15 days of my 2006 January - we're off to a good start. More to come .
