2007

the trick to approaching a new year, and a successful, fufilling one at that, is to never expect much from it.

No, Im not trying to rain down on your parade.

( It's fine for me to be emo seeing i am all that most of the yr anyway, but I nvr drag down anyone with me. Nice, selflessness and kindness are my first,middle and last names. well why am i telling u this u wldnt believe it anyway *sulks*)

It works the same way as that first primal rule of the ever growing rule book of dating 101- If you are sincerely and genuinely not interested in the opposite sex, the hawt ones will all come aflocking to you when you least expect them to like vultures to flesh, woman to new season chloe bags, gay men to straight men etc etc.

similarly, entering the new year convinced you will be sacked from your work, be the unfortunate achiever of the worse grades in school and get killed in a freak meat mincing accident so you wouldnt reach your 18th birthday and die a sad, sad virgin lessens the foolish hope that one assumes is the most important element when approaching all elements and aspects that are new and foreign to them when they reach different platforms of their lives.

I never did quite bought all that "miracles will happen if you believe" crap.

The trick here is to bring down all levels of foolish hope to a bare mininum, so when shite things happen, your world wouldnt crash on you, and when good things happen, you will genuinely experience that primal exhilaration that only unexpected joy can bring.

Not the best attitude, i agree. But thats reverse psychology for you.

and oh yes, if you had been wondering, this method works perfectly for keeping to the new new year resolution you set too.

Happy New Year.
