well.
so, happy new year.
i mean that. i sincerely hope you have a happy new year.
i, too, wish to have a happy new year, at the expense of no one else, of course.
i'll settle for a happier new year.
and i have to believe that this year will be happier/better in some (hopefully most) ways.
there is little evidence that this will be the case, but without hope why bother trying.
the horrors that the tsunami produced are literally unimaginable for me. it's just a horribly sad situation.
of course, had this happened to some oil-rich nation, or somehow to some of the "red" states (gulf of mexico, i suppose) we would be declaring mother nature as a terrorist, or part of the axis of evil or some other fool thing. the fact that it took a couple days before the amount our government declaired it would send in aid, became greater than the amount our government will spend on its own re-inauguration, says enough right there.
i have great hopes for this year. some of it is in my own power to control, or at least help shape. much of it is not. and it is becoming more and more difficult to think about and deal with the things that are out of my control, because they are starting to have a greater impact on my life. normally i try not to worry too much about those things which i can't control, but this just isn't possible anymore. so i'm trying to balance a greater feeling of helplessness with a greater feeling of hopeful-ness. i'll let you know how it goes...
i'll have some time over the next month or so to start making some changes or whatever decisions might be needed regarding my life, or at least certain aspect of it. i just hope i am able to do it.
so there you go - my new year's entry. it could've actually been made any time within this 3-month period of dec-feb, but it just happened to work out this way.
now to decide how to make sure i get my paper tomoroow morning...
