Out with the old, In with the new.
...An egomaniacal letter from William's "publicist" to you lovely readers. A 2005 Recap.
The year 2005 has come and gone. And oh what year it was in the life of William Kahn. Because of William’s budding stardom his busy schedule will not allow him to purchase any “actual” gifts for you. He decided that a cheesy “year in the life of Will” (a.k.a. Egomaniacal) recap letter would suffice in lieu of a gift or monetary benefaction. William would also like it to be noted that the complimentary towels with his initials emblazoned on the fabric are in the mail.
2005 was a big year for the king of pop. No, I’m not talking about Michael Jackson sillies, I’m talking about the man you’ve grown to know and love. That’s right, good ol’ Willie Boy! 2005 marked the first time William would taste his first legal sip of alcohol.
A junior at SUNY Oneonta at the start of 2005 Will is thumping along pretty well scholarly and is on track to graduate on time, in Spring of 2006, with an impressive GPA of approximately 3.5. He even got a D+ in Math for the Liberal Arts! Once is okay I guess, hehe.
Let’s not forget about Will’s busy summer. He was interning at FUSE (that’s right) and working his little tush off at a local gas station/convenience store in order to fuel his alcohol habits. That’s right people, this young man, on the bud of stardom, was working two jobs, and Fuse was in the city, for no pay! What a guy! Working didn’t stop William from doing what he loved to, and that’s impress people with his angelic singing voice at local watering holes and restaurant karaoke nights throughout the county. Several of his most famous and memorable performances were:
-“Jukebox Hero”-Foreigner
-“If I Only Had A Brain”-Wizard of OZ
-The “Saved by the Bell” theme song
-“I Got You Babe”-Sonny and Cher (Duet)
Will also had the privilege of running into several celebrities this past year. Continuing to make him more famous by association. In 2005 Will had run-ins with:
-Ron Jeremy-Porn Star extraordinaire
-Tucker Max-Internet Humorist
-Head Automatica-New wave, new wave funky rock group
-Dave Grohl-Singer/Guitar player for The Foo Fighters, Drummer for Nirvana, The mind that brought us Probot, Guest appearances on Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D, and helped record drum tracks for arguably Will’s favorite band Thrice.
-As well as on screen talent at Fuse and several other bands.
The beginning of senior year marked a new building and new roommates for William up at SUNY Oneonta. Rooming with his best friends at school, it was likely that his grades would decline. No one could have expected his superb GPA as well as the engorged belly he would return home with for the holiday season. His roommates, have fun, as the kids say these days, “on the reg” and are known to get noise complaints at all hours of the night due to their cacophonous laughter. W
The realization that he could turn his stupid antics and what some might label, “not standard” behavior into a profit, the ball began rolling for one of his most famous works to date. Will’s blog. With roughly 7 hits a day, this has turned into a major profiteering situation for him, and I’m sure all of you will reap the benefits of this in the near future. It's quite clear that 2005 was a successful and eventful year in the life of William Kahn and, in all likelyhood, the best is yet to come.
Sincerely and on behalf of William Kahn, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to you all,
-William Kahn's Publicist
Okay, that was fun. Anyhow, that's how you make a boring pretty standard life of a 20 something sound awesome. Take notes. I hope all of you recognize the sarcasm that all of those sentences were shrouded in. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and everything to all my lovely readers and have a happy and fun filled New Year. With that being said, here's a quick real 2005 re-cap.

Alright, well there you have it. Because I'm no theater buff and I don't read books right when they come out I'll have to forego any further categories. That's just what I feel comfortable making lists about.
And oh yeah, New Years resolutions are a private thing. I have some though. Ask if you know me and want to know. Are dying to know, need to know!
