2005, IN PERSON
So the other day I watched the big ball drop, cheered for 2005, and ran back to watch Kill Bill on the other TV. So it’s safe to say that because I rang in the New Year with a lot of bloody anime, dismembered Japanese folk, a Caucasian that likes to play with samurai swords, and big shiny balls, I have a right to blog about what this means in our near future-namely the inevitable omens and signs, things which I know nothing about.
If you think about it, there’s a lot we haven’t done, and there’s a lot we’ve done that we wish we hadn’t. For example, I wish that I hadn’t begged my English teacher to move to Canada on Opposite Day (apparently a day soon after Election Day)-but I was so excited when she missed a day of school to apply for immigration to Canada that I lost my head. She was even willing to refuge to Afghanistan. But I digress.
So I’m just here to promise you that even though you might write up a whole list of so-called “resolutions,” you’re just going to do the same shit you did last year that you thought was cool at the time but began to wish you hadn’t done when your parents realized that it wasn’t Phys Ed class that was keeping you late in school every day.
But I’m not really speaking from experience or anything.
In the same token, we might also have a lot of kick-ass moments that you’ll get to put in your scrapbooks. In fact, I’ve even written a suspiciously-ambiguous horoscope for all of you guys that can help you get through all your hard times, no matter how many little boys Michael Jackson will hide away in his closet.
For all of you signs and signettes out there, I’m seeing a lot of stars in one area in the beginning of the year-oh, January and February-ish. What these stars probably mean is that you’ll begin to see a lot of people when you’re walking down the streets, and because there are so many, you might not remember all their names. In March and April, there are a lot of extra-shiny stars, probably brought on by the big shiny ball you witnessed at the coming-in of the New Year, which means that you’re going to meet a lot of girls/boys that will probably be out of your league (but not out of your dreams!). But don’t lose hope, dudes and dudettes, there’s always that special person waiting for you somewhere; try not to miss them in May through August! You might be losing money around the beginning of September, and you may not. Just remember that from October to December, things might happen, and maybe Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the holiday season will find you content and happy and not at all emo about how 2005 sucked bigger mooseballs than 2004. Not that I care, anyway.
Overview:
Small chance of witnessing overachievers, smart people, and the deliverance of rock ‘n’ roll. Just try to have a really cool Halloween costume.
Happy New Year, Mr. Potter!
