Year Ends……

This is it for 2008 the crazy year that is was. I consider it the year that Oscar winners decided politics was fun! So much has changed, when I look back, even in these 229 blog pages I’ve notice it.
I’ve been talking to friends and catching up on things going on in their lives, sometimes I ask too many questions -- well, that is what I've been told. Maybe it’s because we get caught up in the “Have to dos” we forget to slow down and smell the roses and count the clouds. Not that I plan on slowing down or anything, I like a fast pace.
My sister grew up a little bit more this year, Jacks moved out and off to school. Luke has a new one; ok two… yes twins on the way. My Pops and I have come to an agreement that we will never see eye to eye. My Mom is graceful as ever but I see a change. Trace is married, working on a family of his own. Amy is working left and right. I feel like being in a bubble and everyone is blowing around and I’m trying to reach out to grab someone just missing them ---I feel I need to babble.
I’m doing my best to not watch those Year in Review shows, not that I don’t want to look back but now they all seem so depressing to me. The majority is Who Dity Who dies and we all must morn. Can’t we have a happy, jolly review show?
There wasn’t any memorable music to speak of, nothing that really clicked with me. Movies were all humdrum and bland. Nothing was a “must see” when I did go I fell asleep during them. I just realized about not going to one concert this year…do I sound depressed? It’s hard not to find the last 365 days as bittersweet.
For the next coming year I don’t plan on making any promises, no goals, and no chores; just living this one out seeing how it goes.
I thank you all for my well wishes and comments here and e-mails Here is to you and hoping you have a safe and happy night and beginning of a happy new year. Tonight, I plan on going out and partying like the year cost me 19.99.
