there's a song by death cab for cutie called "the new year"...that's where the title for this post came from.
i kinda like that song today, not only because today is new year's, but because it also describes how i feel about new years today.
don't get me wrong, i'm glad 2007 is over. in fact, i'm reeeeaaaaalllly glad its over. new year's eve last night was lots of fun and all, but 2007 was not a good year for me. in fact, just about the only thing that went right in my life this year was school, which is a rarity. i think i made the dean's list for every semester this year, but the rest of my life was pretty stressful, so i'm not sorry to see 2007 go.
on the other hand, i'm not exactly excited about 2008. at least, not the first few months of 2008. so i've decided that my new year doesn't start until i'm done with the bar exam in february. since 2007 sucked, i may as well extend it to include the bad parts of 2008. so, the next few months are going to be 2007 1/2, or 2007B. i'll make my new years resolution once 2008 starts on march 1st. i'll also go out and party on february 28th or whatever the last day of february is this year (i don't have the energy to look at a calendar and see if its leap year). so, get ready to celebrate new years all over again in march. until then, enjoy your 2007 part two, bitches!!
so this is the new year
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance.
so this is the new year
and i have no resolutions.
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions.
so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once.
lighting firecrackers out on the front lawn
as thirty diaglogues bleed into one.
i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes or speed trains or freeways
there'd be no distance that could hold us back.
