Happy Fucking New Rage
Apparently I slept through the midnight festivities and Odessa trying to wake me (thrice!) which I guess only proves that I could sleep through nuclear winter if you filled me with enough food and beer. While I'd have preferred to have beem awake for this, I can't help but think of this as symbolic of the cynicism and ennui that's managed to grab the US by the throat within the past year. While a few things were cool, like.....er, the election results and Iron Man and Slumdog Millionaire, I think most Americans and residents of the planet in general would prefer to leave '08 in the dust. So here's to the end of the Bush administration, goodbye and a middle finger to an utterly boned economy, and to crossed fingers with a tentative but somehow more sure hope...not just for America, but for the world - under a new and hopefully more pragmatic set of leaders. Here's to mankind... we're gonna need all the goodwill we can muster.
