Got in her Daddy's car and she was gone like vinyl

[shes_crazy_see]

Knowing I will not take the time tomorrow to sit and reflect any more than I am willing to do so right now, I feel it would be inappropriate to not offer this chaotic year the moment of silence it has coming to it...

...That ought to do it.

The next time I sit down at these keys with intent to rearrange all that occupies my crowded head space, it will be a new year.  A year for love.  A year for opportunity.  A year for music.  A year for friends.  A year for family.  And a year for all wonderous combinations of the afforementioned ingredients.  I can't imagine that 2011 will bring anything less than triumph and progress for those willing to work for it.  I've just got a good feeling about this one.

So let's gather once more with our champagne held high, and toast away the last 365 days with the undying hope that our "next year" will be ever-better than our "last year".  In my humble opinion, loved ones and strangers alike- If we're doing things right, the years should just keep getting better from here on out.

In a side note that just seems right to include:  Thank you to those who have stood by my side over the last year, as well as any/all of the years preceding it, as I would not be who I am today without all of your influences.  Yes I am egotistical, and yes I am selfish, and yes I am intelligent.  But damnit, I know I didn't do any of it alone.
