A few questions and comments that have nothing to do with one another
This season I have one question. If we did not have a "new year"... every year (january 1) would we look back and review? If time was just continuous as it is and we did not measure it in years I dont think we would give a fuck about the past. There would be no year in review shows on The Today Show, VH1, or CNN....we would forget all the good and bad things that happend around the world that have nothing to do with us. This is not good. I think the government or some crazy fucked up organization somewhere created this "new year" for the follwing reasons.
1. It is a chance for "new hope"
2. It is a chance for people to change with "resolutions"
3. It is a chance for people to set some goals. My goal this year is to get a pet fish, get a raise and free health insurance, not get pregnant and meet someone who owns a nice boat for the summer months.
4. Recognize how much things have "changed" This makes us appreciate life and our time in it. (it does, really it does.)
5. Wonder why Kelly and Brandon didn't get married that one day so many years ago in 90210.
This governement or organization that designed this "new year" really had our best interests at heart. I appreciate them, whoever they are. If I ever have any anxieties about time and life I think it is tamed down a bit by the definition of past, present and future. So RISE UP!!! and lets rejoice!!....no im kidding....I thought it would funny to get a little preachy again but my fears that it would not come across as a complete joke made me stop.
There are a few other things that have been crossing my mind latley. Like how the show "My Two Dads" was way ahead of it's time. I mean way ahead of it's time. I don't understand why E! isn't doing documentaries with the cast/characters/writers of this hot early 90's way ahead of it's time hot hot hot hit of a TV show.
This year I actually traveled over the river and through the woods to visit grandma for christmas. Or for a more modern up to date version of that song, over the river, past the pivots, through the drive-thru and down the dirt road. I have driven by these middle of nowhere towns a few times but never actually stopped and spent the night in one of them. We visited a farm and a bar called the "Knotty Pine" but everyone calles it the "Hut" and when you walk in everyone stares at you, watches you get a drink and doesnt look away until you have a seat or they figure out who you are, whatever comes first. I was taken down the "main street" which is conveiniently called "main street" Grandma was baking pumpkin pie and showed me her quilts and there was an aunt who was making a roast and there was enough beer to go around, everwhere you went. Grandmas, the neighboors, the hut, probrably church, down main street, at the farm and at home. Nobody locks thier doors or takes thier car keys with them and I had my chance at getting a new car while the entire town was at church. Apparently that is frowned upon. Im not gonna lie, it was a good time. But it did make me wonder what I would do if I lived in Petersburg Nebraska. The only logical solution was alcohol.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
