40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Oh friends please excuse me
I'll put it loosely
I'm sick and tired of sitting down
I can't help but see the reasons
To what I'm reading
Oh the coffee mornings in this town
I'm done with ignorance is bliss and for this
I'm gonna hurry
And get up, get out
Make this be for something
Or else it's all just nothing
