        <title>I Cannot Be Hurt by Anything this Wicked World Has Done</title>

        <description>What was 2004?  It was a year of stolen and disputed elections in Georgia and the Ukraine, the rise and fall of Howard Dean and John Kerry, the first private space flight and the end of the &quot;X-Prize,&quot; disaster in Darfur, prisoner abuse in Iraq, expansion of the European Union, the death of Ronald Regan and a month of flags at half mast, the return of Greek Olympics and a very smug presidential victory.  In less political but tragic terms, the worst natural disaster in my memory has occurred in Asia as Tsunami death tolls top 135,000 according to CNN.com.
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
For me, the year started out as a bleak one in the coldest New York winter I have ever experienced.  My mother came to visit me for her birthday.  We stayed in Manhattan and it was bitterly cold.
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

&lt;/TABLE&gt;
&lt;/CENTER&gt;
I took a lighting class at &lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.sunydutchess.edu&quot;&gt;Dutchess&lt;/A&gt; which was a blast.  Some of my friends from Black and White II were taking the class and I met some other cool people.  It was so much fun working with those people, including the teacher, &lt;A HREF=http://www6.sunydutchess.edu/pvac/handler/&gt;Lowel Handler&lt;/A&gt;.

&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
In Short, 2004 was &lt;B&gt;A Great Year&lt;/B&gt; and I have high hopes that 2005 will be even better.
