Dear 2004

Dear 2004,
Admittingly I'm happy to see you go. Granted you were a year that saw considerable growth, but with you came a lot of freak accidents and baggage I could have done without. A year of innocence lost and power regained. Mistakes made and friendships bonded.
When you brought me a jerk, I dealt. He had promise, but this isn't a compromise... this is my life. I'm not looking for Dr. Jeckell/Mr. Hyde to spice up my life. Granted Bipolar has given me some of '04's greatest quotes, but when your life has more drama than a daytime soap.... you gotta go.
When you brought me Mrs. Drama, I dealt. She started out sane and helped out in a time of transition. You gave us all a rotten hand of cards, but she couldn't accept her hand. Lesson learned never value anything above friend. When trust is lost....you gotta go.
When you bought me another jerk, I got angry. This is when I decided you, 2004, had to go. How could you continually abuse me, one of your biggest supporters. I was there for your holidays. I used a PDA to map out all your important dates. But 2 jerks in one year... you gotta go.
How did I get even u ask? I left Mrs. Drama in Crazytown and drove right over to Happiness and set up residence. I cut a deal with 2005, I'll use everything I learned from you, 2004, to keep myself.... happy, healthy, and independent.
