Next Year, Baby.

I don’t I need to make an eulogy of the past year, or the past decade for that matter, as it can be easily summed up as ‘pointless’ and ‘non-progressive’. Thankfully, it is nowhere decadent.

(If life is like a continuous stretch of dead, monotonous wood, then the mushrooms that sprout are the tasteful points in life. Some of them are tasty, and yet, some of them are poisonous.)

I still, however, felt like I’ve never grown up. Interestingly, I still feel as short.

I know I’m very late with this, but Merry Belated Christmas. Also, Happy New Year.

I’d wish you something, but aside from the typical Pink Healths, Great Fortunes, Wonderful Life Ahead-s, the only other thing worth wishing is that I hope you have a monster under your bed. That way, life is much more realistic, and it opens the way to believing in things like True Love and Destiny is Just a Sidewalk Away.

(Hello, Pessimism)

Also, I wish the best of the decades ahead, and if they finally learn how to preserve your head over a mechanical spider, I wish the best of the rest of the century.

I know I complained a lot, but when I looked back, and thought properly, 2009 was a year of change. Changes to both personal life and the world.

Let’s just see if it’s brought forward.

Resolutions? I think I’ll just leave a self-explanatory song.

Next Year,

Things are gonna change,

Gonna drink less beer

And start all over again

But get up at a decent hour

Gonna read more books

Gonna keep up with the news

Gonna learn how to cook

And spend less money on shoes

Pay my bills on time

File my mail away, everyday

Only drink the finest wine

And call my Gran every Sunday

Resolutions;

Well Baby they come and go

Will I do any of these things?

The answers probably no

But if there's one thing, I must do,

Despite my greatest fears

I'm gonna say to you

How I've felt all of these years

Next Year, Next Year, Next Year

I gonna tell you, how I feel

Well, resolutions

Baby they come and go

Will I do any of these things?

The answers probably no

But if there's one thing, I must do,

Despite my greatest fears

I'm gonna say to you

How I've felt all of these years

Next Year, Next Year, Next Year

Goodnight people.
