Especially since Tim is in town..... *shudder*There are nine days left until 2001. How can I, you, anyone be expected to fit an entire future into nine days? It's impossible, like filling in the craters of the moon with cheese or milk. I have never wasted a year before, but I have wasted this one. I have wasted every year I've ever lived, and half the ones I didn't. It's all contradictions, but who cares. Do I? Do you? The radio doesn't, nor does TV, or Bryant Gumble or Gumby or anyone at all.
I've had an interesting 2000. It wasn't how 2000 was supposed to be. I hated 2000. So it's a brand new year. So is every other one. Sure, we're stepping into the future, but we do that everyday. Nothing is special, nothing is sacred. Nothing is.
Which is, of course, stupid existentialist pap. Garbage. I've never even read Sartre or Camus. I would never ever wear a beret, unless it made me look incredibly fun and cool. That's what I want to be more than anything. Maybe not even cool. I want to be fast and funny and a gleaming metallic monster, eyes of burnished chrome and teeth of ivory. No, whiter. Teeth of light. I want to burn out retinas when I smile. I am young and angry and so powerful it makes the old women weep.
Do you know that I never see old women anymore? I don't know what happened. I used to. I think they just faded away into the wallpaper.
"Is there a point, Simon? Ha ha ha, it's all a good laugh, yes we love you and need you and worship you and taunt you mercilessly. What more do you want?"
I don't know. Everything. The planet.
As I said, 2000 was supposed to monumental, and it wasn't. My life was supposed to be charmed. So far, nothing.
What about you?

Sol: I have no meaningful thoughts to contribute, as don't the most of the repliers here. I suppose, to ensure that the bulk, if not all, of 2001 goes at leas t a little right, you should endeavour to purchase a PS2. Apparently, it's quite meaningful, and fulfilling, as thousands of lonely, bald, blanched middle-aged men have obtained one, and it has gave them solice in their basement homes, and made their lives exciting again, as their new goal in life is to beat that new Tekken game. I've heard it's quite fun.

I believe I'll respectfully decline your offer to go down (pun could be intended) on this road of unsubstantiated bragging and immature alpha male behaviour. As much as I respect any male who feels the need to discuss their member with me, I'm afraid this is not the time nor place.
Sincerely,

Personally, I've had a rather good year. I lived with some friends for the first 2/3rds, which was great. Not fun ,as such, but nice, relaxing, enjoyable. And for teh last third I've (finally) gone to university, and I am pretty much having a great time with the drinking and the going out and the playing of Smackdown 2 and FIFA 2001 and the laughing at the fat heffers who are sleeping their way through every ugly and desperate man from thiscountry, or any other. Fortunaly, that hasn't included me, but I'm sure they'll have a go in Janueary *shudder*.
I also got God Magnus, which means I can create God Fire Convoy, who is, quite possibly, the coolest thing ever. I wish I was 9again. He's so much better than the stupid Pretenders I had to put up with as a kid.
So, to sum up, go sports!

I think that depends on your perspective. There are some of you in here that are going to think I'm crazy for saying this, but I think the year 2000 was a GREAT year for me.... yes, I became crippled, was disowned, lost some of my best friends, hit major financial troubles, and had to drop out of school, but in the long run, I'm glad it happened. I grew up a lot this year, whether I was ready to or not. I know better who my REAL friends are, and I know more what i want out of life. I've learned to take things one day at a time, and I'm learning to not sweat the small stuff.... all in all, a good year....
But it's not quite over yet, so there's still room for it to change Especially since Tim is in town..... *shudder*

. Though it's easier to be poetic when you're sad anyway. I've certainly had a great year. I had a great last semester of high school and a great summer. I moved out of my house and finally got some PEACE. I became pagan and found real friends in the process. I had really nice professors for my first semester of college and got good grades. Yep, life's great. I just need a couple more things and I'll be set.
