Last year...

Last year during this time I was a totally different person, I was with someone else, I had a different lifestyle and had different habits. It is amazing how so many things can change in a year. It's almost been a year since my life has changed, if asked whether it was for the better or for the worse I'd have to go with the former. Freedom does have its price but it is freedom nonetheless. And yes the phrase for the year is: It's Complicated, its better than saying "same shit different day or SSDD" or "Boring...". The complications may be hard to deal with but atleast there is the knowledge that there is movement, there is change where once there was only rancid stagnation. More often than not progress, whether backward or forward, is good. Whether the holidays will indeed be happy or whether Chirstmas will be merry we have to understand that it's the year's way of giving us a final fare thee well. 2005 was a year of great upheavals and numerous sorrows which should teach us how to find happiness in the most miniscule of events and even in the darkest and deepest basements of our lives. Let us always, with good humor, offer to raise or shot glasses or bottles or mugs to life and all its rather fruitless-seeming endeavors!

Chill.
