happy new year?
We welcome the new year as happy, but do we remember that throughout the year? Have you ever noticed that the year that follows, all the virtues and beliefs that we have for it - the high hopes and the aspirations, all kind of go out the window? How many people say "Happy New Year" and "Have a safe and happy New Year"? Do we?
Have you ever noticed like I did just the other day, that because it's a new year, it doesn't change anything that's already in play? Kinda sucky, isn't it? Huh? Well, I got like 2 sms's when it turned 12, and I'm still waiting on any more that would like to rear their ugly heads!
But back on a notion of where I was trying to go, we seem to forget that we do get all hyped up about the idea of a new year, and a fresh start, but nothing much really goes into motion that wasn't already there. I have yet to see, in all my 20-something years of living, that anybody really forget all old problems from the past year, start everything new/fresh, make the new year that they envelope themselves in so true to what they commend to everyone else - I don't!
Here's an SMS I received from one of my brothers;
Before da clock hits 12 ffor the last of this year, b 4 da memories fade and b 4 da networks get jammed! -- Wishin you a Very Happy and Prosperous new 2006 yeaar. . . Marko !!!
Lovely isn't it? At least I know that Marko actually means this SMS when he sends it, and I wouldn't be surprised if he took an original SMS and modified it to be the one that you read or he has made this himself and sent it to a couple of people. Either way it was completely nice.
To be honest, I don't like the syled quote of "Happy New Year", unless you're going to mean it, how many people out there actually mean what they say when they say it? Did any of you think about what you're saying before you did, and can you stick by it?
Everyone, try to remember what you said at the beginning of this year - stick by it! You'll surely enjoy yourself!
