I wrote a big thing about why New Year’s is my second favorite holiday, Halloween being the first.
But I’ve decided, fuck that, people always say the same things about New Years: big changes, the year I finally do (insert thing here), wiping the slate clean.
The slate is not clean.
The world is not clean.
Most of us will not lose weight and shape-up.
But, goddamn it, you have a fucking OBLIGATION to make the world a better place. Why? Because I said so.
2005: has a nice science-fiction ring to it, yes?
Try making it the year where you make a difference. To the world, to yourself, to somebody else.
Arbitrary date? Yes.
Resolutions for shit? Yes.
Bills and worries gone? No.
A WAY TO FEEL THAT SOMETHING NEW IS HERE, AND THAT YOU WILL HELP MAKE IT SOMETHING IMPORTANT? You know the answer.
On that note, maybe this year when I promise you a story, I’ll actually deliver.
I have one for tomorrow night, I hope.

LAST THING I SAW THAT MADE ME WANT TO CRY AND HIT THINGS AT THE SAME TIME: http://www.ogrish.com *WARNING* this is not a site for the faint of heart. This is a site for people who want to see what a suicide bombing REALLY looks like. What an execution of Iraqi cops REALLY looks like. Why I am so fucking opposed to the war it makes me sick. Damn, but I am bitter tonight. I gotta go kiss my wife.
Oh, and special thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
