for any and all lonely homies on this most "festive" eve. . .

I'm leaving this post behind for anyone out there who might end up having a laaaaaame new year's eve. I've had many myself, and they're like nothing else.

they hurt. no shame in that.

I hope you all will be somewhere tonight with someone you care about and who cares about you and that you'll have a grand old time ringing in our next calendar year. if you are lucky enough to find yourself in that situation, I hope you enjoy it. you are lucky indeed.

but in case you don't have that luck. . .

. . . I wish you an early night's peaceful rest and the safety of knowing that this night really is just one more night, no better or worse than any of the rest on the calendar.

though I do have an engagement to go to, it's nothing special. it's nothing to be romanticized by those who may not have anywhere to go tonight.

otherwise, I'd be here, keeping it real with those who, for whatever reason, will be spending their new year's eve with their computers and the clutchcity.net bbs.

I hope you find warmth somewhere tonight, whether it's from this post or elsewhere. I think everyone deserves that much.

sorry to wax so melancholy. . . new year's always brings it out of me.

I salute you, and my thoughts are with you tonight, whoever you are.

tomorrow is another day.

cheers, friends.
