160. New Year.
We say we'll do one thing, but end with another. We are always working. We are always at home. We drink. We smoke. We quit. We start again. We gain something and we lose it. We make mistakes and do not learn from them. We make promises we cannot keep. We chase our tails. We forget our dreams. We police ourselves for no good reason. We are faithful. We tell lies. We anger much too quickly. We smile, but only sometimes. We attach a little hope to the new year because maybe this time, something will change. We live for the now with disregard for the future. We live to the fullest, and we die a little more every day. We do so few things for love. We forget, and we run away. We hate ourselves until someone proves that we are worth loving. We feel lost. We feel alone. We find someone and feel happy. And finally, we're home.
Happy new year. May this one be better than the last.

Well as I wrote last year, here's to knowing that this year will be exactly like the one before, but resolving to grab it by the balls anyway.So spake Desi Quintans, 01-Jan-2008 (permalink)
Every year is the same. I haven't accomplished shit in 2007, and I doubt I'll accomplish anything in 2008.My "New year's resolution" has been the same for the past 3 years...and that's simply "Give less of a fuck than last year". Ironically, it's the only resolution that I've been able to keep all these years.

"We hate ourselves until someone proves that we are worth loving."I agree with that one. And even when someone proves it, we need that constant reassurance anyway. At least I do.
