2011

Photographs and memories...Christmas cards you've sent to me...all that I have are these, to remember you.

A year's come and gone and what's left are just memories of the times we've had...of the tears we've shed. I've taken a break from my usual poet mode and I've decided to be long winded as well as more nostalgic-esque in this December/Christmas blog entry.

Looking back on the year, it's been rather fun...at times painful, but on the whole, it's been rather fun(and downright horrible, but let's not go there). So, we've come to the point in life some of us optimists may come to describe as the "another beginning comes from some other beginning's end" metaphor. Back in my hardcore cynical days, I'd snort at this theory and, frankly, just go all out to prove that life is a never ending year after year struggle for survival.

Bear with me, dear readers(if there are any at all), I've been lax on my blog entries recently and I've gotta make up for it now...somehow. I've come to realise lately that age is really starting to jump on my back and hump the hell outta life...yes, I just used "hump", it's one of the privileges that comes with age - the ability to use kick ass grown up words and not worry about anybody telling you to 'watch your tongue, young man'. On the down side, everything I do seems to take longer and I don't do too well staying up long nights anymore...but don't we all face episodes like that every now and then?

There, I think three paragraphs and a header ought to repay my debt writ from neglecting this little blog.

Now, to the actual reason I'm writing this post. I'm gonna try sounding matured, sophisticated, deep and wise...maybe one at a time, or all at once...not sure how that will go, so let's find out.

2012. Some say the world ends then. I'm not sure if I should be glad and usher it in, or to be sad and disdainful for the stupid things we as humans have done to our world to have set this disaster in motion. Whatever said and done, I don't really regret my life thus far...nor would I like to prolong it unnecessarily. If it is indeed time to go, I know I'll leave here with a smile and hope we meet again in some other life on some other planet that God's kept in store.

All things considered, I'm glad 2011's coming to an end. Who knows what the future holds for us all...I most certainly don't, but I'm willing to embrace whatever God or life(or both of em at the same time) throws at me.

It's been fun writing in this blog of mine here. Thanks for sparing me your time...till we meet again, see ya.
