[Puke]

well, i cant think of a whole lot of good that has come out of this year. but i cant think of a whole lot of good that has come out of any year. when it comes down to it, the world just isnt a very nice place. but when it comes down to it, i wouldn't have it any other way.

I dont define my life by pineing after happy memories; I recall how I have grown from strife and hardship. History revolves around war. Kids will read about war, conflict, and political turmoil. Jimmy Carter making peace with half the globe will barely be a footnote.

now dont get me wrong - im not wishing hardship on anybody. and i have probably had things alot easier than most. but its only been easy because i take the bad times in stride. if everything turned all rosey, i think that i would pack up and go somewhere less frickin cheerful.

so even if its been a bad year, you lived through it. lots of other people didnt, and here we all are. so as we're standing hear on top of this scrap heap, look down on the ruins of the old year, and smile about what you have achieved to be on top of it now. but dont get too warm and fuzzy, because there is another mountain to climb before the end of '03.

thank you for subscribing to puke's dime store philosophy.
