so this is the new year...

...and i don't feel any different. i don't really know what more to say to that. just yesterday people were scrimping and saving for y2k and now its 2005. what happened to all that time. i feel as if i am waking up from some drunken stupor and somewhere in the haze i got old (rip van winkle style). happy new year, maybe this year i will stop and enjoy every sandwich (warren zevon). how can i slow the hands of time? how can i hold on to such a slippery thing?

well, enough with the misplaced rhetorical questions, nobody wants to ponder things like this. i can hear the suggestions pouring in, "get a camera, and shut up." ah, helpful...i will point, shoot, and remember always this moment, frozen in time...idiots.!

what am i doing? arguing with myself. has the cynic become senile? i am just talking around in circles, posing stupid questions and responding to them with equally stupid answers. why? because i can. ha, there i go again. well, welcome to the dawn of a new year, enjoy it before it vanishes like dandelion seeds in the wind. poof...its 2006.
