Has 2012 come to a close already? Not that I’m really complaining because it sorta sucked the life out of me and just sucked in general. It went by in a flash and it seems to go quicker and quicker every year. I can’t believe a whole year has passed since I was passed out in my parent’s guest bedroom waiting for the Moon Pie to drop. I had to be woken up at midnight. Sleeping on New Year’s Eve? Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Looking back on the year, I might as well have stayed asleep. I might as well have slept through the whole 365 days. It was a very tiring year all round. I should have just hibernated and waited for better days. They say how you ring in the New Year sets the tone for the rest of the year. Maybe there’s something to it after all.
One thing that I always look forward to each year is New Year’s Eve. It’s a chance to wipe the slate clean. At least, that’s how I look at it. After a night of drunken debauchery one needs a clean slate. One year me and a friend spent the evening chuggin’ the drinks at Yesterdays in Natchitoches, Louisiana. He ended up ringing in the New Year passed out on the bathroom floor. While I can’t add anything else to that, I have to say that it’s always such a fear of mine that I will be on the pot at the stroke of midnight so I go to lengths to assure this will not happen. This should be a legitimate phobia if it isn’t already. I always wonder if this could be the year my worst fears are confirmed. Fears for years and years of fears.
And another thing…… How many toads do I have to kiss at midnight to get a decent year around here? It appears many and I have lost count.
I hate to be too optimistic because it always bites me in the ass but, come on 2013, be awesome, be cool. Please, please, I just need a spoonful of magic to make the bitter taste of this past year go down. Am I asking too much of 2013? I don’t think so. I actually remember a few years being such. It can happen but rarely does. I think the planets have to be aligned or something. A really great year, it’s what we all want and need. I think we’re all on the same page here. On the same page and I’m out of spit. So 2013, bring it
