I feel like I ought to wrap the holiday business up a bit. I've been going out way more then I'm accustomed to, and my number one impulse is mostly just to set the dial to 'recharge' and stay out of everyone's way. I've gotten some invites that meant enough to me that I couldn't possible turn them down, and I didn't regret going but when I break my concentration, I have to call it a night. But, yeah, so that wraps the year up, and that's fine by me.
Actually, I've talked about this before, but 2009 kind of sucked. Actually, 2009 was ok for me, but 08 sucked, and 07 sucked and so on right down to 2000 and that ridiculous Y2K scare that so many people had their shit in a twist about. I thought, fuck it; I can't be sorry about this decade passing at all. But, you know, even though I've heard that thought mirrored by others, it didn't suck because of things we don't understand, it sucked because of things we ought to understand. I guess what I'm supposing is that it may be that we can keep working and make this a better series of years. I remember in 2000, watching the ball drop on TV, by myself at my grandparents house thinking that it was kind of a shitty New Year then, too. But this time, I watched two good friends get married and I thought that any decade where they could come together and solidify that bond can't be too bad.
That's your Shakespearian comedy ending, right there, anyhow.
When it comes to me, I can't take things a decade at a time. I really can't speak for anyone else, but anything that rolls up part of high school, my whole college experience, a few years of trouble and contains a move to and from Seattle while getting a job just contains too much. This decade has seen so much change for me that I've changed monumentally since its inception, but I'm still not a new person; just the continuation of what it means to have been that kid 10 years ago. I guess I'm an adult now, so this is what you get for not putting me down early when you had the chance, existance.
Maybe this is the beginning of a bit of a slow down for me, and that'd be ok, but I've got an awful lot to do this year and I wouldn't bet against me if I were you.
