Looking forward to 2004!

What will be new in 2004? Will the world go nano? Will those Diamond computer chips really thaw the market and make everything we've done up to this point obsolete? Will the Yeti be discovered?

What will happen in 2004 globally? Will the peace be found, or will we keep on fighting? Will the President still be the President? Will the Congress remain controlled by Republicans?

Will the clocks still chime at midnight on New Years Eve? Will the parties still be loaded with confetti and champagne?

Will there be more young girls and young guys, sneaking around and doing adult things behind their parents backs? Will the parents be trying to find ways to grope at one another while the kids aren't looking?

Will they put up the Cheektowaga Casino without a riot? Will the parking ramp get finished in the Falls?

Will my friends ever fricking call me? This e-mail thing is not the best way to stay in touch with people around town.

Will the temperature hit 60 on the first day of the new year? So I can walk about in the green and watch a Rose bloom prematurely?

Will the rap stars and the football players champion one another in the global arena of the mass media machine?

Will the toaster ovens make toast?

Will I find myself on the same perch in Buffalo that I've been riding for endless years? Will I go to a bar for a change?

Who can tell? And wouldn't you like to know. Don't look to me,
I'm no prophet, And no sayer of sooth.

But I know one thing,
This keypad is becoming one with the me,
And I kind of like the me,
He's a pretty cool deal.
