The obligatory New Year's post.
Jan. 1st, 2006 12:05 amAlright, 2005 is over. Done and gone. It had its ups and downs like any year, and there have been better and worse years. But that isn't what's important now.
Maybe you're ringing in the new year at a party with friends or strangers or a combination of both, maybe it's at home with a select few or by yourself. Maybe you're getting drunk out of your mind or staying sober. That's not the important part either.
Sure, we all made some mistakes, and we're going to continue making mistakes before we're through. But that's not really important now as well. What's important now, is we take all those mistakes made in 2005 and before, study them, learn from them, and apply those lessons to 2006 and beyond.
What's important now, is that we go into 2006, with our eyes open, heads held high, marching forward, going over, around, or through any and all obstacles that happen to tumble in front of us through the course of this year and after. Maybe we'll handle them quietly, carefully, and discreetly, or maybe with a loud battlecry and our fists in the air and with reckless abandon. It might be astonishingly easy and require little to no effort, it might be discouragingly difficult with hard decisions and sacrifices. But as long as you don't give up, as long as you don't let some random event make you lose your steam, that's all that matters.
What's important now, is that each and every one of you needs to either pray, wish, hope, cast spells, work your mojo, do whatever you gotta do, use whatever you gotta use, for the sake of yourself and everyone that you care for whether they know it or not, all of this working towards one objective:
Making sure that 2006 doesn't suck.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, gimme a holler if you dig that.
