Some women on my hall in college dressed up like the members of KISS to attend the annual gay ball. I think I still have the pictures somewhere....

Happy New Year!
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

And remember, don't drink and post. Eh...who am I kidding?

Actually, it's an alcohol-free New Year's Eve for me. Mainly because I couldn't be bothered to join the lineups in the liquor store.

I'm tipsy and indulging before a year of attempted weight loss and exercise. Two years ago, cigarettes were given up for food. Now, I'm trying to give up the food. I'm hoping you all have a merry New Year, and that the hangovers are mild.

Cheers, motherbitches!

Happy new year!

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

*a repeat for those I am friends with on Facebook*
on New Year's Day, The G-d Wants You to Know application on Facebook to me wrote:On this day, God wants you to know...
... that God doesn't want your obedience, God wants your love. Servants give obedience, children give love. You are a child of God.
My response to that...
"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should." ~ Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann, 1927

The universe and more...

Happy New Year!
Desiderata
Max Ehrmann, 1927
recited by Les Crane, 1972
*wondering what the gematria of 19 might be*
(holy crap...just did some research)

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world..

Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.
