nearly new years

i have always found new years eve to be an overinflated holiday. so much hype, so much build-up, it is destined for a sub-par letdown. i guess that a majority of this could be blamed on the movies and television. ahh, the famous ball drop. big deal.

and don't get me started on new years resolutions. what a bunch of hooey. if you really don't have enough control of your free will to direct yourself the other three-sixty-plus days of the year, then why delude yourself to think that change will take place just by dangling a golden carrot out in front of you on dec. 31?

all bitterness and frustration aside, new years can be a turning of the calendar to reflect upon. to recollect the passing of time, to take inventory of your life, to celebrate or mourn in your own personal way. 07 was a fine year. a wonderful year. i am confident that 08 will bring new challenges, excitement, hurdles, and opportunities.

to my dear friends and family, i wish you the best of all that you wish to take on in the new year.
