new years
a new year...the next year, possible fresh starts, and only inconstrast to the once fresh, do our faces and hopes light up so joyfully. but what the hell are we celebrating? is it the one time a year where we can claim a sense of social and personal amnesia, while making lists for change, that most will never follow. humans are creatures of convention and are almost always predictable. i mean, we sometimes surprise ourselves and each other with brash movements, bold statements, behavior, costumes, ecetera. but in all truth, what stops us from making a present change every day? every moment?
i thought that at least this year i might find some semblence of a relationship, but no. i thought that i'd find a job that i don't hate, but nope. i thought that perhaps i might be one of those persons that becomes the sought after party in a romantic summer entanglement, but no sir. and that's fine. do we create our own destiny, or is it charted out that for the number of people who are happy and showing it, there are also an equal number of depressed people and hiding it? but who can complain about reality existing how it does become true?
this new years' i plan to just try and exist in a manner more condusive to a personal happiness and the happiness of others. but is it this upcoming changeover where these once spoiled thoughts of old will now become more powerful and full of an unseen strength? one would hope so right?
up until two hours shy of the west coast midnght reverie, i will be at my work, perhaps slinging coffee to those few people who find it necessary to caffinate themselves, rather than be surrounded by friends and loved ones. i'll be somewhere inbetween. so where ever you are in the world, have a happy new years. welcome to tomorrow. what will you do this year?
