A New Year Has..... Come!

Obviously I spent a few extra days of 2007 all hushed up. Just to make sure I truly crossed over the great financial divide that was Xmas 2006… What a season! I wish I could mention something to do with a great church sermon, fantastic Xmas carols or even just a visit to the nearby orphanage to hug some kids but sadly this was one year when I didn’t celebrate the birth of "the one" in any symbolically Christian way. Just drinking booze with a visiting friend and in-law (make that outlaw since all he seemed to want to do is to meet the lovely ladies – the cheek of asking me to hook him up behind me cuz’s back!)

Come to think of it 2006 was not a year to brag about and I have a lot of catching up to do in 2007. Apart from not being close to The One, I am sure even the Architect was unimpressed with my 2006. Therefore, apologies to the Trinity over 2006 and some resolutions for 2007…. No longer will I Persephone... (Hmmm… what’s wrong with this computer, I meant perspire) over what I can not change. I will not Merovingian i.e. rely heavily on vino to get mellow (damn that was a hard one to use) Furthermore I will no longer be a Bane to those whom I suspect of harboring ill will for me (and you are many, yes you are)... I will be the Deux ex Machine of all those in problems (not financial though) hence forth I have Morpheous oops I mean morphed into a changed person. …

2006…. What mistakes (blunders) I made… Like the time I told a girlfriend I would use her as an example to my kids and I quote “When I have grown up kids, I will tell them to be careful and not to land into financial trouble like Aunt Bee” Not knowing by so doing I was revealing she would NEVER be the mother of my kids… *self slap*

For 2007… I have quit smoking (again). I need to get me a new gig… I retire from being a love doctor and attempting to solve all manner of people’s emotional problems…

Et cetera... Ad infinitum.

Which reminds me of a call I got from a friend last year…
She kept talking on and on about her problems until my mind went into semi comatose mode… She must have asked a couple of questions and I guess I was so absent minded I didn’t hear them…
Angrily she asked what I was doing.
I replied, “Sorry. There was something I remembered and my mind switched off for a tiny second”,
“So what was I doing?” she asked. “Providing the soundtrack to your day dreaming?”
“No.” I replied, “You were the background vocals in my mind”

2006! I hope 2007 turns out to be a better year.
