Well, it's new year's eve
 

I was just thinking about this year and realized how many wonderful things have happened in it. When the year started, I was kinda depressed (like all new years), but that changed as soon as Fox began airing those TMNT teaser commercials. The excitement kept building up and up until BLAM, it premired. Man that was so beautiful, and if the spoilers are any indication, then we have only to go uphill from here. Summer came and me and my family went to Tulsa's "Trek Expo 2003". We met William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy together at the same time, among a truckload of others. I also bought one shell of a Katana blade. Around that time, Mega Man made his US TV comeback, and my best friend came up to stay for a week. We had all night Sailor Moon marathons, and Tetris Attack deathmatches until our eyes fell out. Such good times. Then my biggest fream came true. Nintendo & Sega joined forces to create the greatest racing game of all time....F-Zero GX. There will undoubtly be better sequels in the future, but none will have such an impact on me. It brought two companies who hated each other togehter to show the world just what wonders they can accomplish as one. Then after having watched the raws and fansubs since March (Jap version is superior BY FAR, but still...), Sonic X made it's US debuet. Sonic, TMNT, and Kirby were and still are on the same network together. Dream...come....true. Then F-Zero went and got it's own series. F-Zero Falcon Densetsu (Legend of Falcon), followed by an import GBA game.
Deer Season was hell like always, but Christmas and most of December have been pure bliss. This has truely been the greatest year of my life. Normally I would be depressed about it all coming to an end, but right out of the gate on 2004 Sonic Heroes is being released, followed by Sonic Battle. That's more than enough to cheer me up. Plus there's a new Game Boy in development to kill the PSP, and possibly the all mysterious "Super Mario 128" Mega Man is coming back on soon as well. 2004 should rock.

What did 2003 mean to all of you?

The year from hell.
 

The good: new TMNT. My band (see "The Bad" for more details). Gamecube sales jumping through the roof, Mario Kart Double Dash, F-Zero GX

The bad: having to sit by while the friends i went through highschool with graduated and left me behind, finding out my father drained my college account, an odd sickness that knocked me outta school for 2 weeks, and we STILL have no idea what was wrong, the onset of migranes, not being able to get hired anywhere, a TCG i really like loosing olmost all support, Rare being sold by Nintendo to Microsoft (although, Rare is having some SERIOUS internal issues.... so the company may end up disolving... and my guess is most of the developers will hop on with Ninty), the onset of deep depression, Harry Potter 5 and standing in line for 2 hours just to buy a friggin book. The sudden relization that there will only be 2 new Nirvana CD's, and that Kurt will have been dead for ten years next april. my ideas being rejected by my band untill it was pointless to be in the band anymore. Mr. Cash's death., Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles getting pushed back till next year. Having to pay 40 bucks for 4 old Zelda games, one of which I own 4 copies of already. A boring trip to Gencon in Indy, parting ways with 2 of my good friends because of said trip to Gencon in Indy,

I'll stop there... that list could go on and on and on......

I'm glad this horrid year'll be over soon. Good Riddance.

Re: The year from hell.
 

Serves them right for bailing on the company and fans that made them what they are. BTW Rare was sold in 2002, but all the crap did happen this year. So sorry for the rest of all that garbage in you're life. :(

Good stuff: RotK movie, new TMNT, Saddam captured, Finding Nemo, new computer for me, went snowmobiling, went scuba diving, etc etc.

Bad stuff: Can't really think of anything at the moment.....

I'm gonna list the good last so I leave this post with slightly better hope for 2004 and beyond.

Bad: Growing apart from my best (and, currently, only offline) friend. Growing apart from my family. Lost my over a decade long passion for wrestling. Went (and still going) through a lot of stress with all the planning for my life I must do. Became completely lost life-direction wise. Haven't done really anything entertaining all year. And to top it off, my computer is falling apart and it is becoming beyond repair.

Good: The TMNT comeback made the TMNT universe even more important in my life. No deaths for those few I'm close to. I've made many good online friends. Then all the stereotypical good things that happened such as not losing my home, money, food, e.t.c.

Bad: Kim dies, Having to buy a new Harddrive which would ruin me for three months.

good: Met Dani, getting connected to the internet, turning 18, learning ow to drive a car, going to canada for two months, buying a new discman that plays MP3 CDs, Finding out that the TMNT have got a new series and a lot more

't was a good year

Good: Building my own command center, juice bar, viewing globe, zord, and tube.

Bad: Building my own command center, juice bar, viewing globe, zord, and tube.

Bad: Became depressed, developed anxiety attacks, lost all passion for wrestling business (Damn the WWE!) Grew apart from my best friend after High School

Good: New TMNT, DD movie, Hulk movie, ROTK movie, Batman movie got on track, graduated High School.

Good: TMNT revival, got to spend three months studying British naval warfare, celebrated my 21st b-day in Vegas and first anniversary in Germany, I'm debt-free, my health's been relatively decent in comparison to past years, I'm alive and actively pursuing a possible future career in writing.

Bad: Have an ear infection, I'm 10,000 miles away from my friends/family, I still can barely speak German and have no real desire to learn the language, not attending university and have no steady job and insomnia screws up any hopes of maintaining a normal daily schedule.

2003 was an unremarkable year for me. Here's to a prosperous 2004! :thumbsup:

Bad: had a really bad sickness back in April for a week, kinda sick right now, little sister continuing to be a pest...

Good: got a pair of real sais for x-mas, joined the technodrome forum!, new TMNT cartoon, got a few really close friends this year, got black belt in karate, got back at sister for being a pest...

Overall a good year. :)

nothing to terrible happened but, everything was pretty boring exept for tmnt and lotr.

P.S.- Third mario bros. I didnt know you were from oklahoma thats cool so am I.

I second that.

The Bad:
-Might be my *Papa's last Christmas/Birthday. He's turned 75 two days ago, and so far everyone in his family have all died a little earlier than that.
-A definate divorce of my parents in about two years
-Being thought as a loser by my brother's friend because when I was chugging down a beer, I cough and it looked like a puked it out. He still doesn't believe that I coughed. Oh well, I don't even like beer.
-Technically, my best friend moved in 2001 to Calgary, but I still miss him. I haven't had the chance to contact him in about a year or so.
-Whenever there's a family 'get-together' with my mother's family, at say Thanksgiving, there's always fights between her, her sisters and her mother. It's really annoying.
-One of my first really liked forums has gone to ****
-Lost some good friends (offline/online)

The Good:
-Got a new computer
-Learned the basics of playing guitar
-TMNT revival
-Getting the Family Guy DVDs
-Got an X-Box
-Got all 8 of my highschool credits for Grade 9, in Grade 9
-Meeting new friends (offline/online)
-I finally now understand why my sister does what she does
-Getting decent marks in Grade 10 (average is about 78-80%)
-Zebrahead's kickass new CD, MFZB, came out

It's looks like there's more bad than good, but there is actually more Good for 2003.

Here's to a great 2004! :thumbsup:

*= Papa is what we call my mother's dad. It's a long story..

good:got the sewer playset
new robocop comic
new sonic cartoon

bad:don't got lord of the ring:fellowship of the ring and the two towers on 4-disc dvd

Re: Well, it's new year's eve
 

Simply put, the beginning of college, and thus the beginning of the 4 worst years of my life.

Even if that wasn't part of the equation, it could've been a hell of a lot better for me (real life problems, go figure).

Pretty sad about the dog Kim :(

This year takes the cake for worst period of time in my life.

Good: War in Iraq, Saddam captured, TMNT revival, found my one true love, new Zelda game, Kansas City Chiefs wining the division, Priest Holmes breaking TD records, GREAT movies like Daredevil, X2, Kill Bill, and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Spider-Man 2 teaser trailer, LotR: TTT extended DVD, Indiana Jones DVD collection, and a new leather jacket!!!

Bad: Losing my great grandmother and grandfather, losing my one true love, (she didn't die, we had to break up.) slight depression that caused a grades to slip, my mother getting attacked in my home, alone at New Year's, war in Iraq because of my two cousins fighting in it.

Resolutions: lose weight, (about 30 pounds at first) getting AWESOME grades, and trying to be happy and let the girl of my dreams find me for a change.

Ditto.
