I can’t sleep, thus has been the case the last few nights… I’m okay with that, I don’t have a lot going on currently. I think I am just in a little rest time… It is a new year and it is three in the morning…

Last year at this time I was still cleaning up after this huge New Years party I had thrown with my partner in crime Jeremy Garmen, that party was second in greatness only to my Halloween Murder Mystery Witch Hunt.

I enjoyed 2005. I grew a lot in that year and found places I still need to grow. I dropped some vices picked up a few… you know… give and take. I spent this New Years with my friends Paul and Julie. I like those two. We prayed for each other around 11 on the 31st then they were tuckered out so I went home, I prayed from 11:45 to midnight with my rosary. Set my alarm to go off at Midnight, then filled my pipe and smoked amongst the firecrackers of the new year.

I remember a few years ago… well more than a few I guess, After a shot of Whisky I counted down the New Years and stood in the middle of the street in West Liberty West Virginia (It is a small country town with a small country college) I stood there waiting. Waiting for the plains to fall, the computers to crash, and WWIII to start. None of those things happened surprisingly. I remember being filled with this feeling of smallness, standing on that road… it was pretty dead there… a small college town I am sure many others had drank much more than my one shot of whisky, and were going no where… it is the kind of place you can hear a car come a mile away. I was in college at that time I guess.

It is now the year of our Lord 2006, 2002 years since the birth of our lord and 1, 969 years since he was put to death, as the HGTTG puts its, “for telling people it would be great if they just started being nice to one another.” (if the numbers don’t seem to add up ignore it I am going with the birth of Christ at 4 BC)

What is to come in the next year? I have my opinions others have theirs. What do you think? Is this the year the aliens will make contact publicly? Is this the year Christ returns? Is this the year people realize that no one likes it and no one thinks its funny? I just know my stomach feels empty, I think I will have some chocolate milk… mm mm does a body good.
