The New Year

So this is the new year.
And i don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (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 off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs 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.

There'd be no distance that could hold us back

I'm not a huge New Year's guy. That's a song by Death Cab for Cutie that I love, it really captures the feeling I really have about New Year's Day. I don't think I've ever gone through with a single New Year's resolution. The numerical difference on a Calendar is not really a motivation that lasts. Our goals should be planned and undertaken on their own merit's and we should start them when we are ready to actually be motivated to go through with them.

That being said, I like to party, and I have a goal set (but I started it a week and a half ago.) The party is the huge institute bash at the Student Union building every year. I usually dance until the last minute, make my usual request (one more time by Daft Punk, the greatest song ever written) and hang out with good friends. So I'm not anti-new year, I just personally don't find it a huge motivation. Real major life events are rarely coordinated naturally on the Calendar. But hey, I'm not gonna poop on this party. My New Year's resolution is to Blog 3 times a month minimum for my many (3 I beleive) readers.

Hold me to it America.
