I've been feeling nostalgic about the good ole days here at BDA. Back when I had a partner. A partner in blogging who liked to give orders in the guise of a certain Rufus, a partner who understood the life of the "young professional" in DC. A partner who urged us to hold on for one more day and keep going.

Now, on the eve of my impending visit to Trinidad, I can think back on how much has changed in our lives since we started this blog. Yes, this is my "new years" entry, where I use terms of comparison like "now" and "next" to describe what's out for 2003 and in for 2004. Where I dismiss all the things I've been doing lately as the crazy whims of 2003 and predict the next big trends. Example:
Now: Metrosexuals Next: Ruralsexuals
Now: Greek night Next: Bulgarian Feta Night
Now: Jim Beam Next: even more Jim Beam

And you know what's really now and next? My hot new
Sony Ericsson T616
How I love it so.

I'm off to Trini for the holidays, to be reunited with my partner in BDA fun, to find out where my blogs really been at.
