The Year Is 2009

So recently there has been a lot of talk about this thing called Christmas. I'm not sure if you have heard about it so I’ll give you a brief introduction to it. Basically, or as far as I can understand, around 2000 years ago (give or take a couple of years) there was this baby born. He then later grew up into a man and became a sort of magician of some kind. I hear he was better than David Blaine... anyway. Apparently because this dude was so good at magic, people still celebrate his birth. Yeah, I suppose it similar to Winston Churchill day. Although it’s celebrated in December, despite this bloke being born sometime around March... but hey, I didn't write the rules. The best part about it is that people give presents out just wily nilly. So back to the main point. People have been asking, what do you want for Christmas? And I’m like? What do you mean? They’re asking me what present they should buy me. Now let’s not forget that I just celebrated my birthday... (See the last blog for proof, oh, it was good by the way) so now I’m getting 2 lots of presents. MENTAL!

Also, as its December, that means that it’s almost New Year! Not the Chinese new year of course because there arsey, and have their own sometime next year. But it’s this year for them. I know, confusing right! So I thought i'd do a little summary of the things I liked about 2009 (two-thousand-and-nine):

Seen as though this week has seen the passing of yet another celebrity, I have decided to name the 5 celebrities that have died this year, that have had an impact on the world.

• Michael Jackson
• Les Paul (think guitar)
• Bobby Robson
• Farrah Fawcett
• Brittany Murphy

Other than that. I have nothing else to say, other than:

Congratulation to Rage Against The Machine who managed to keep X-Factor Joe off the top of the Christmas chart. It was one of the most exciting Christmas chart races for year. I know I bought 3 copies... how about you??
