This year has basically been a repeat of last year. It's like I'm in a Star Trek time loop. At what point and exactly how did I cause a disturbance in the space-time continuum? My life as of late has been a perpetually revolving hamster wheel, or like in one of those old Hanna-Barbara cartoons in which the same background is repeated over and over again.
Insane times. Insanity being doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Everything has condensed to a singular, flat uniformity. Everything seems the same, nothing is different. I do, however, like the blue bird that sometimes flies up to my balcony and perches on the rail. He looks around, sees me, then flies off. I'm sure it's not the same blue bird every time, but I like to think that it is. A certain regularity and reliability is comforting. My life has not descended into utter chaos, or perfect order; it has become more like a listless meandering from one event to the next. Paradoxically, I need more chaos in my life AND more order. A nice balance? Maybe. Really just more change: being open to real change and have the willingness to follow through with it. But I hate New Years' Resolutions. This time of year really grounds me and makes me recollect and reflect.
Anyway, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year. As for me personally, good riddance to 2009.
