The Year

this is the first song i listened to this year "The New Year" by Death Cab For Cutie:

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 dialogues 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 speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.

there'd be no distance that could hold us back

so this is the new year

i thought it was quite fitting.

So 2006 is over and i really don't know how i feel about that. A lot of stuff happened, maybe some stuff that shouldn't have, and a lot of stuff i was hoping would happen, didn't, but that's mostly cause of me. and to quote another blog (Britta's): "Let's do everything that we weren't brave enough to do last year. Let's love without holding back. Let's think less about what other people think. Let's make every single day one to remember for the rest of our lives.
Well, here's to the new year. I'm not just going to sit here and hope that 2007 will be amazing. I'm going to make it happen. Are you up for it?" and to answer, Yes, i most definitely am.
