Rob's World

The thoughts of Robert Donahoo, former Las Vegas-Eldorado High School star of the 1980s, who is now based in Los Angeles, California.

Welcome to 2005, folks!

Here we are... the year that will mark the halfway point of this decade once Dec. 31, 2005 is all said and done.

There are going to be some major changes going on for me as this new year gets under way. First off, after being out of commission for almost a year due to a fractured right ankle, I am back in the bottled water industry... for the time being. It is only to keep the money coming in until I complete my International Business training, which will be completed on February 5, 2005. After that, I will be getting out of bottled water in a slow transistion to a different career which will earn lots of money and hopefully provide me with a good home in a nice neighborhood.

Where that will be is uncertain. A return to Las Vegas is possible; I do want to stick it out here in SoCal (preferably in Orange County) and keep trying harder. Stay tuned.

I am also going to work on a project which will lead to Eldorado High School's 20th year class reunion for the class of 1985. From what I have read, the reunion is going to take place in September, at the Alexis Hotel... I will have to double-check and make sure that is the case, but I am certain it will be in September. It will be the first of three reunions I believe in a ten-year time span. The next reunion will be of the 25-year variety in 2010. During this year I will share my memories of my four years at Eldorado High School, beginning on Monday.

In addition, I will share some memories of my time in Europe, as this year marks the 30th anniversary of my first year in Germany (then known as West Germany).

And there will be much much more of course. I think this blog site is FAR better than what AOL provides, because I think ONLY the AOL members are allowed to post comments, which I think is gobbledygook. I want everyone to post, including those from MSN, Yahoo, RoadRunner, etc.

One final comment before I close. Congratulations to the Texas Longhorns football team for winning the Rose Bowl in their first-ever appearance (I think) on a game-winning field goal as time ran out to give the Michigan Wolverines their second Rose Bowl loss in a row. And don't forget, USC Trojans... the Orange Bowl is this coming Tuesday. Let's cap off this great season with a victory and sole possession of the National Championship.

Enjoy the New Year, friends!
