New Year

I’ve not been feeling up to writing lately but I wanted to post something. 2005 was the best year so far, even with all of the bad stuff, and I’m positive that 2006 is going to be even better, if I can just get past this night. Happy New Year. And may I say, I have a real unhealthy love for Death Cab. Fin.

“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
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
So this is the new year.”
