What the HELL is going on with this new year?

Yeah, it's really not that bad. I just thought it would be funny to make that the next title considering I haven't posted since New Year's dawn. Anyway, I don't think much has changed since my last post besides that my brother has started a new "thing". Anytime he starts talking to someone (he'll begin to talk - then) he will respond for them with a deep sort of voice. Typically the response includes a "dude" somewhere in there. For example, I'm sitting on my computer and Michael walks in - (Michael) "Hey come look at this." (Michael as me) "No dude, I'm talking to my friends and you're not my friend you're my brother."
