weBLOG for December 31st, 2004


"Some Doors Just Shouldn't Be Opened."

It was Christmas, and I used a line from "A Christmas Story." So sue me.

Well, this is it. The last blog of the year. When I started this thing nearly a year ago, I never thought I'd live this far. Of course, like I've figured out years ago, it's the people who want to die that never do. I'm not at blog 100, but at least I haven't run from my feelings yet.

This time last year, I was at a get-together my friend had with his co-workers. I got drunk, didn't puke all over someone's home, got kissed at midnight, and wasn't the guy who walked out when his emotions collapsed on him. I thought the year was gonna be great.

Of course, it didn't go the way I planned. Spent the year single; didn't go out on one date, and I didn't get kissed again. And for the rest of the year, I was the guy who walked out when my emotions collapsed on me.

I reaffirmed a friendship with two great women who pretty much helped me survive the year between the two of them.

I remembered that I have an infinte capacity for love.

And here I am, sitting here with two six packs which will probably be dead before the end of the night. No kiss, no grand inebriation, no friends, not even grapes! If last year I had a great start to the year and such a crappy year, perhaps this year will be the opposite. Perhaps I will start with a whimper and build from there. Maybe there is nothing but promise in this upcoming year.

Yeah, who am I kidding.
