The Year That Wasn't


I hated 2008.

I really did.   I can't remember, in fact, thinking that I've actually ever been able to say that I'm GLAD that a year has passed.  As much as I bitch on this blug about stuff, you'd be surprised to know that, beneath my gruff exterior, I'm a pretty fucking optimistic guy.  At least, I like to think so, anyway.

This makes it all the weirder that I'd be happy to say so-fucking-long to an entire year.

I did some pretty cool stuff this year.  I mean I was totally self-employed for the first time.  That was awesome.   I really did a good job, too.   Well, that's over now.   With hope for any future incarnation of this specific dream ever being fulfilled.  That sucks.

All the political shit, all the no-fucking-money shit, all the unemployment shit, all the self-abuse and hatred shit, all the fucking fucking fucking SHHHIIIIIITT that I've had to deal with this year.  Just....  Just fuck it.  I am so happy to be moving on.

ALL HAIL 2009!  (I'll tell you in a year how it turned out.)

Happy Fucking New Year,

why can't you ever have your own business again?

Well, not in 2008, silly girl....

I'm hoping to be self-employed again as soon as humanly possible. it's the only way I can stay happy I think.

That's the working idea anyway.

of course you're right. I thought some odd thing had happened.

You really are at your best when you don't have to answer to anyone but yourself.

Have you thought about getting a business loan? Perhaps wifey's past life in the military may open doors you didn't know were there.

Or did I just confuse wifey with another person?
