All current problems in the world aside, I am really looking forward to the next 11 months of this year. From an entertainment standpoint, 2005 is overflowing with potential.
Considering that the only worthwhile album released in 2004 was American Idiot, I'm very excited about this year's line-up of new material. New albums from Weezer, Alien Ant Farm, Audioslave, and the Foo Fighters have me counting the days on the calendar. All of these bands are extremely talented, and I haven't heard an album I didn't like from any of them yet. That's not even mentioning the touring that will surely follow the releases. These bands all play kick-ass live shows, and chances are by the time they hit Toronto, I'll have turned 19, meaning no more permanent-marker X on my hand at the club they're performing at. Score.
And let's not forget the movie adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that is set to hit theatres on May 6th. That is either going to be very good, or very bad, and judging from the buzz I've heard so far and the cast/crew list, it seems to be leaning towards VERY good. Of course, there's no way to tell until it's released, but here's hoping...
Rock on.
