Au Revoir 2005 - A Look Back

This shall be the third to last post of 2005. I have been pretty bad this year with entries, mainly due to the hectic schedule I had to endure. As everyone and their mother tends to do this time of the year, I want to take a quick look back into the events of 2005, both personal and non personal:

• January 16: Last skydive (#6) before promising Araks I won't do it again.
  
  
• February 1: I started working at Vigen Onany & Associates, Inc., starting a new chapter in my work life.
  
  
• March 8: Mount Saint Helens begins to erupt.
  
  
• March 18: I bought my Motorola V600, and have been pissed off at it every since.
  
  
• March 27: I rear end 3 cars on my way to work due to a brake failure on my Camry.
  
  
• March 31: Terri Schiavo dies, after a long battle between her husband and her crazy parents. My opinion (which is the only opinion that counts in the Arthur Blog World [except Queen Arak's opinion, which is actually considered law]) is that she should have been allowed to die a LONG time ago. People in vegetative states are not living, they are just in a technical state of being. It is inhumane to allow these people to continue "living."
  
  
• April 2: Pope John Paul II dies at the age of 84.
  
  
• April 8: The became the proud parent of a new 2005 Cadillac STS Luxury Performance vehicle.
  
  
• June 2: First time serving for Jury Duty. I thought it was the most boring day of 2005.
  
  
• June 9: That is, until I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. It redefined boring.
  
  
• June 13: Michael Jackson is found not guilty of touching little boys. Many argue about the verdict, but no one can argue that this guy is looking scarier and scarier by the day.
  
  
• July 7: Subway bombings rock London. 52 die, 700 are injured. It is the deadliest attack in Britian since World War II.
  
  
• July 11: I declared my love for Arizona. I still think back to that day and how wonderfully open the freeways were.
  
  
• August 29: Hurricane Katrina and the fuck up of FEMA - We got a chance to see, yet again, how well managed the government was under the supreme leadership of our King President, George W Bush.
  
  
• September 24: Araks and I celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Countless more to come! I love you boo boo!
  
  
• October 8: A 7.6 earthquake in South Asia kills 77,000 people.
  
  
• November 6: Araks gives me the best birthday gift ever: A chance for me to be the pilot! If it isn't mind numbingly obvious, I LOVE everything related to the air. I got to fly a plane with my instructor and the Queen to beaches of Santa Monica and back!
  
  
• November 8: I turned 21, leaving my childhood behind.
  
  
• November 30: Last day at Vigen Onany & Associates, Inc., closing another chapter of my work life after having learned countless lessons.
  
  
• December 13: I came back from my first legal trip to Vegas. It was awesome!
  
  
• December 25: We celebrate Christmas and my sister's birthday at their house and I get attacked by 6 kids. What a great time!
  
  
• December 31: The year ends, and again I wish I had written more entries so that I could have a better record when I come back to this blog 20 years later.
