2009: A Year in Review
Hah. Psych.
I do a retrospective post just about every year, right before New Year’s. Because everyone else does. And then I generally do another right around my birthday, which is only two more months away. How much fucking wasted time and energy is that? (More on that, in a decade-analyzing context, from Ariana Osborne.)
I could bitch about 2009 here. I could ruthlessly dissect and deconstruct everything that’s happened this year, analyze and overanalyze my role in all of it. Angst over what I could have done better. Self-congratulate on what I did well. But you know what? Fuck that.
Like a thread on one of the forums I’m part of (Whitechapel), I’m setting 2009 on fire. No bitching, no complaining. I’m setting some magnesium or maybe some thermite on the fucker and burning 2009 down to its core. And using that molten core and the twin bellows of my imagination and willpower, I’m forming an epic 2010. And then pissing on it to cool it down, or maybe just to get it good and mad.
dude, you just relieved me of any twitch to review anything this year or this decade. thanks for the public service.
Credit goes more to Whitechapel (and Zoetica, who started the thread there) and Ariana Osborne, my friend, but I’m glad I could help too. Here’s to hoping you have a fantastic 2010, and here’s to burning 2010 a year from now too.
