Happy New Year! 2002

Post #22,726 by nking 12/30/01 10:26:57 PM Reply	Happy New Year! 2002 I hope that 2002 is a lot better than 2001 was. This is posted a bit early because in some parts of the world it becomes the new year before the old USA gets it. Plus I wanted to post it in advance, so I'd be the first and that everyone can see it. "Before Christmas it is 'Ho ho ho', after Christmas it is 'Owe owe owe'" - Santa Norm

Christmas was bittersweet for me - I miss my ex-fiance's kids badly. This is the first year since '97 I haven't seen them. I did a lot of non-digital work to stay afloat this year, and though it barely kept a roof over my head, I found quite a bit of satisfaction working with 'concrete' (real) things - and made a few friends I would never have otherwise met. Professionally, the year ended (for me) on an up note, so take heart at that, Norm. Things WILL get better. Anyway, Happy New Year! <noisemaker>Tooot!</noisemaker> Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...

But while the cliche about "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" is crap most of the time, most of the damage I've survived this year has been of the kind that clears ground for new growth. In other words, "Thank You, God, for the much needed kicks. You can stop now." ---- "You don't have to be right - just use bolded upper case" - annon.

Even with half as many kicks, it would still be better? Oh by the way, that isn't God kicking you, that's the Devil.

That was my mis-reading of an inspirational message spraypainted onto Old San Marcos Road in Santa Barbara, 1988 or so, for the crew team's annual training run up it. The road was one of my standard riding routes. Frankly, I prefer my take on the saying. 2001. Thank $DIETY it's over. `-- Karsten M.

Although my hangover is somewhat severe (I managed to "disappear" about a half-dozen 500ml cans of Kronenbourg and a bottle of Bowmore whisky last night, so am somewhat delicate :-)) I wish you *ALL* a very happy and prosperous 2002. Yes, that DOES include you, Bryce :-) Peter Shill For Hire [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal]
