New Years Cheer-less
Posted on January 3, 2010 with 0 comments
The new year has blown in. So what for resolutions! Who gives a crap about getting it over the plate anymore. Didn’t need any god damn resolutions this new years. It was already a lock when the guns went off at midnight. All that I was in need of had already been nursed to salvation for the most part. My soul transcended and healed. The new year rang in thousands of new laws and legislations and innumerable hangovers. And really a strange sense that the party has been long over for some time. And we’re all counting down to some strange and horrid post modern prohibition. A radical policing of human behavior. All the great taboos have been dissolved and the bedroom doors are wide open. So now we demonize and hunt down such boogiemen as smoking in a bar or holding a cell phone to your ear while driving. The sense has been sucked out of the balloon and we are all deflating. The madness has slunk back into the shadows and the sanity is eating us alive. I have given up on bars for it feels to much like sitting in Best Buy and drinking beer. Television screens and khaki shorted patrons watching reality shows and basketball. Instead of wild talk and cigarette smoke you now have Ahi shrimp platters and free Wi-Fi. The toughness and roughness has been smoothed out. The exotic dangers of the dark saloon jungles have been tamed. Hence forth, the desire has dissipated. Let’s raise our glasses one last time to the changing times in the death throws of this final year of the first decade.
