Another New Year's post

I'm still the guy who thinks the New Year is overrated. Nonetheless, I celebrate it. Whether with family or friends, I welcome the coming year with open arms. Another year-end celebration, another set of resolutions, another chance for a beginning - all of which are illusions. This may sound bitter, and I probably am, but that's just the way it is. We try to fool ourselves that a New Year is a milestone, something that which brings change. That is another misconception. We are given the New Year as an illusion to allow change to happen, but we do it ourselves. Any day can be a New Year's day. You just have to want it.

2009 was a year of pain, regrets and rebirth. I fell down, and stood back up just to fall again. As a stand, I no longer bear the pains of being supported, but instead try to do it on my own. I rise to the cheering crowd that chants my victory.

2010 is my year. I've been saying that, primarily to make it sound true. There no other way to survive. 2010 has got to be my year or I'm out. It's rise and win, or completely fail. There's no choice but to give it all I've got. My life depends on it.

But once again, I state the fact that we are all conformists and hypocrites, as I raise my glass in toast to the New Year ahead....

It's the unknown that we fear the most. Fortunately, I know that 2010 is my year. I just know it.
