“Remember it’s a hard world out there.  Take care of yourself, and each other”

Jerry Springer.

Jerry Springer ended every single episode of “The Jerry Springer” show with the above words, and despite that is show mainly existed to exploit people for such problems, I still think there are no finer words for me to think of right now.  New Years has always been a hard holiday for me personally and that’s not even considering the overall lack of logic that is made by combining a calender and sappy, and often forced human sentiment.

Actually, that last line is the true basis of why it’s hard for me to understand why New Year’s means more than St. Patrick’s Day, and not everyone celebrates it.  Sure it gives people a goal post, and some sort of time marker, but is that time marker really any different than not getting the laundry done by Saturday at any given time.  In between the new year and the old, life does happen and unfortunately other than aging (which is relative, as well) there are some things that we can not possibly change, on and off our roads.

Mostly, I sit at home and mourn the deceased year,  probably in the way that some people (Jews/Muslims) might have issues with an the orbitrary marker when that happens December 25th and shuts down 2/3 the world because of something that their faiths says doesn’t happen.

So we, live and let live.  Not joining in the revery and having a fake grin/smile when people are actually authethentic about is…..wrong.

To Be Continued tomorrow Am.  (I’m tired.)
