Lunar Year Re-connect

In an effort to clear the laundry of the year that was, I will also build hope for the days coming ahead. But then, like a student from the highest school of uncoolness and the dorkiness of odd, I'll make a memento of nothing in this sort of "tell me what happened" term paper and "remember when we were happy" how-to-do article. 2007, You were a year full of surprising contradictions. When I found out the ugliness on a many versions of me, and where few accomplishments failing to linger much longer for appreciation, are now but just scars revealing my weakness. But I appreciate you now that you come passing o dear year that was. You have taught me that it is fun to look back with anger on things I will never ever be again, but you have also built me up that looking forward is rather more fulfilling with the shiny emerald city you offer. You have taught me driving too, which I like a lot, but have so dreaded to learn and delayed for years because of a sorry recurring dream, but I appreciate you now even when my thigh hurts sometimes for stepping on the clutch too often. And yes I still love speeding which the past years failed to remind me of. I may not retract my sarcasm and skepticism on things with beauty and shine, but I appreciate the soundtracks that you put along with it. It rekindled the tears that have been in drought with me in years. My finger has blisters again and which I'd like to keep and want to grow old with. You were kind enough to put smiles on the face of my little family, but you were very generous in putting resistance in my marriage. For you were the only genius to know that tension is what makes it stronger. It was nice of you to share a laugh with my friends and though I may not see them more often this coming year I know that you've kept me in touch with them. You've taught me to love more often and you taught me hard work too and I'll try harder to keep up with both of it. And so its time to bid farewell to you on water and detergent. This is wash rinse and spin. I pray for hope for everyone to hold on to and keep up this coming year clearer.
