Ozzie's Planet proudly presents My Yearbook 2000

It's that time of the year when it's time to make a summarize and look back and be pleased with what I have achived.

Best Book: "Rachel's Holiday" by Marion Keyes

Best CD: John Sykes: "Nuclear Cowboy"

Best Concert: Joe Satriani at Münchenbryggeriet in Stockholm

Best Single: Kent's b-side collection - not only one single, but a whole lot of them!!

Best Promotional Video: I haven't seen any at all this year... Apart from the Bon Jovi ones and those weren't good at all!!

The Sexiest Man: This year has been filled with Jared Leto - on TV, at the movies and on video. But I'm not complaining, he's a beautiful man ;-)

Best Moment: Drinking tea with the one and only John Sykes. Not only did we drink tea, he also took the time to really talk and that's the royal treatment for a fan. Wow!

Worst Moment: A conversation with the wrong person at the wrong place at the completly wrong time.

Awesome Internet Experience: Actually, that would be all my e-friends - thru the good times & the bad. To realise you're more than just "pen pals". I hope that I one day can meet you in person.

Best Gig: Mike Monroe at Ruisrock in Turku, Finland (out of nostalgia) and Freak Kitchen in Stockholm (out of musical excellence)

Best Record Sleeve: Thin Lizzy "The Boys Are Back In Town - the Swedish collection. Sleeve made by Jim Fitzpatrick.

Drink of the Year: White wine, Pepsi max

Best Movie: Last Of The High Kings with Jared Leto (I know it's kinda old, but it is what I've been watching the most) and "Being John Malcowich" - outstanding!!!

Eyes of The Year: If I write your name here I know you'd be outside my door in a flat second to tell me to take it off or your girlfriend will leave you... (this really is only meant for one person - if there's more of you wondering if it's you - don't!!)

Best Ian Gillan Tune of The Year: "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" from "Purpendicular" To hear it live again (this time with a symphony orchestra) brought back a lot of memories.

The Place of The Year: At work?

Best Metal Club: Only been there twice, but it's still the best, Machinebar. Still love the drinks at Hard Rock Café miles more though.

Nicest Person: Darren Wharton

Asshole of 2000: I really don't feel that much hate for anyone...

To summarize: A really strange year, feels like I've done nothing but I've really done a lot...

Final words: Phu!! I'm glad I came thru alive!
