[301207] T-Minus 48hrs

2007 draws to an end and 2008 beckons, quietly creeping on us over the approaching horizon. What will it entail? Nobody ever knows does it for our futures are always clouded and shrouded, lost in the transition of time and space vortex if you believe in that mambo jumbo. What I do know for certain is that i'll ORD in 2008. That's a given fact.

No new year's resolutions for me as usual, the simple reason being that i never ever seem to be able to keep them so why waste all that time, effort and not to mention paper just to jot them down? I look back at 2007 and sadly realise that it's an uneventful year, nothing much had changed, nothing much had happened. No real significant life changing event has shook my life as i know it. Just another 365 days that passed by, draggingly painful, silent and quiet.

I look forward to 2008 but I am fearful of it as well. The uncertainty of what I am to become frightens me and I am lost without a clue as to where i shall stand in life right now or 5 years down the road. Count each step as I take them and hope they'll turn out alright but then again... hope... what a silly notion. The end of a long year doesnt mean the end of this year's shit but rather a brand new year with more shit to deal with.

Too many clichés are used in our daily lives. People who use them too frequently ought to be shot. That's my opinion.

Rascal Flatts - Stand

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you’ll be alright
You’ll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Then you stand

Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up

Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Yeah then you stand.

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Ooohhh

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you’ve had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand,
Then you stand
Yeah then you stand.
Yeah then you stand.
Yeah baby
ohhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhh
ooohhhhhhh
then you stand
