That's the only New Year's resolution that I'm making and fully intending to keep.
It is beyond time to get "all up on that re-up." If you are fan of the Wire, you'll know what that phrase means.
Talk about a crash and burn ending to 2008.
Grandma is gone. I spent Christmas alone. I survived a massive December layoff at work...several friends weren't so lucky and there was nothing I could do.
Fawking depressing isn't it?
I forced myself to go to a house party on NYE or I would have finished the bottle of Wray & Nephew by myself.
Your boy was running on "E" without a gas station in sight. I don't know how I did it but I sputtered underneath the checkered flag and just barely crossed the finish line into '09.
Now that I've had a chance to refuel my soul, I'm taking a hard look on what was '08.
It wasn't all doom and gloom. There were good moments. I partied like a rock star in Chicago. I climbed Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica. I even cruised down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. In tribute to VISA's slogan, "I was everywhere I wanted to be." And for a good minute, I felt like I was living the good life as Kanye sings. But was it all in vain?
Maybe so. For as many good thoughts that I can think of from 2008, I have a reservoir full of disasters that just keep floating into my mind. But will 2009 be my year to shine? I hope it is. Correction. I am too determined for it not to be.
