Hi Buzz!

Another year down and another “Best of” post to do as I have done in 2007 and 2008 . 2009 was a year to be forgotten, judging by a lot of the Facebook status’ I saw in at the beginning of the month, and after recession hit full whack and the unemployment register met new heights even beating out the 39% spike in the 80′s I could tend to agree. All that on top of the fact that I turned 30!
But this post is not about the bad things that happened in 2009, rather the best of what did happen for me personally. And so I will begin with a few pictures that defined the year 2009 for me, as I always do.
| Best Song: | A tie between Black Eyed Peas – I gotta feeling and Bobby Deep – Got to Let Go. Depending on my mood! |

I just recently completed the special edition of The Secret of Monkey Island and took a couple of screenshots to show the difference. I had great fun completing it again after about 20 years ( I was 11 years old the first time) with my 8 year old son who also enjoyed it. Fingers crossed they will bring out a Special Edition of Monkey Island 2 as I think that Le Chucks revenge was the best of the series.
And a funny clip…
I just had the time so I created this..

And borrowed this ….

A good read here on the matter, read also the comments!
I’m just saying you gotta take the good with the bad and stop complaining about money being taken off y’all…
