Initially, when I was asked by Blake to choose a “Man of the year”, I had no idea who to choose. I tossed the idea around at work, where my colleagues suggested that I choose CJ Lloyd as The Man. I came to the conclusion that he would not be a worthy candidate, no matter how many times he’s screwed his girlfriend. Then I got to think… how about:

Kobe Bryant: after coming into 2003 with a NBA championship, he’d be a worthy candidate, but then he was charged with that whole sexual assault deal. Sorry Kobe, you may wear the ring, but you gotta stay true to the commitment.

Saddam Hussein: he entered the year as the most popular dictator in the world. He’s such a bad ass, I mean he killed his own family. But then Dubya comes in and we kick his ass. Then we capture him, TROOST OWNED!

Spongebob: he had a good year, until some kid with cancer said he molested him. OH! Wait, that was Michael Jackson, sorry, I got mixed up! But seriously Montel, he’s sold millions of records, He’s Michael Jackson, MICHAEL JACKSON!

But then no one could compare to the men of the year…

Blake Andrew Cooper and Seth Austin James Pohorence!

Both are studs who make the Internet fun!

Blake: Has gone from nobody to somebody this year, a real Cinderella story. He’s in a killer band, Fantasy Controller. He made a kick ass movie, The QB. Females are starting to take notice. And most importantly The Senior Year Project was the created. Yes, this website based off Homestarrunner, South Park and Pink Floyd references.

Seth: Unlike Blake he’s gone from a someone to pretty much no one. Females have rejected him. He didn’t create a movie yet. But he did create three episodes of the Seth Pohorence Show, which no one watched, but had a small fan base, manly Nick’s girlfriend (female companion). Seth’s also not in a band, even though he would like to. He was the reason the site was made. He suggested to Blake about a journal on our senior year, but Blake expanded it by suggestion of the creation of this website.

The most important reason for their selection for Men of the Year was the…

Amsterdam Lady. At the Dave Matthews and Friends concert on 12/20/03, some lady high on so much reeefer (correct spelling) talk ad nauseum about a trip to Amsterdam that had no point to it what so ever! God Bless America!
