2009 - A Recap

[fantanoice]

So, with the year coming to a close, I guess we may be looking over the events the past 12 months have brought.



Here were some major events from this year, globally and personally.





- Barrack Obama goes into office as the 44th President and the 1st African American President of the United States of America.



- Black Saturday Bushfires in country Victoria, killing nearly 200 people, a very sad day, it was the biggest death toll in Australia during peace time.



- The death of one of the most influential music talents, Michael Jackson.



- The death of the greatest Infomercial Guy ever, Billy Mays.



- The death of the 70's sex symbol, Farrah Fawcett. She will forever be known as the only person to have better hair than Johnny Bravo.



- The Simpsons celebrate 20 years of their 'Full Length' show.



- After 10 years, Rove ends his show.



- Oprah announces that her show will end too.



- A not so wise man said, Beyonce had one of the greatest videos of all time!

- Starting University



- Meeting some great new people



- Catching up with some great people who I've lost contact with



- Entering my first bar... a karaoke bar... for a friend's 19th birthday



- Making peace with my brother, which probably wouldn't have happened if he didn't move away



- Hannah being haunted by Katie... lulz.



- All the little things that have made me laugh throughout the year



- New Super Mario Bros Wii

So yes, that was the year, for me and the world, in a nutshell. How about you?
