It's only a date change. We are born, we die, and in between we endure. Some of us live good, some of us live bad, we f'ck up and the new year seems like an excuse to right all those wrongs, correct all those mistakes, but it's all arbitrary - birthdays, new years, and the fact that mine both coincide (give or take a day) just seems to add to the apparent randomness of it all. How come I now mourn the fact that Xmas and new year are over yet I wasn't that happy? Seeing the folks was good, seeing bro', that was cool, seeing all those cousins - hippy hippy shake ..... now it's all over, all wrapped up and swept away for another year. Back to that job, *whit-whew!*, another year older, another year closer to further progressive physical decline and death, and for what? Where's the progress eh? 365 days on and achieved what exactly? </p> Join together brothers. Devaney is Aslan in disguise.</p>
It's probably the 'age' thing - male menopause n' all that. You could probably do with going off the rails - fresh hen and a Harley, just watch those years roll back.
You're gerrin' old mate....just like Cazi. bet you never thought like that 10......20 years ago.</p> Like Cazi......complainin' about the money spent on Fireworks in London last night.</p> Suddenly it's a case of "what is it all about?" or "we could have spent that money better".</p> Life has to have it's little high spots, even if they are self-created. We have to have something to remember and enjoy - expensive as it may be. To shun it in favour of what we might be able to achieve without it leads to even a more depressive and repetitive lifestyle with nothing to look forward to at the end of it. Result - bring on Ebenezer.</p> Remain philosophical, yes. But don't let it blot out what is also important in life.</p>
Think of all the good things you did last year (the trek for childline and helping me for a start) and the things you will be doing to help others this year, that should cheer you up. Thanks Laura (angel) xxxx
