New Years reflections: The end was a fizzle, but the New Year will be explosive
I sat up with my kids tonight, waiting for the glory and spectacle of the fire works show in Seattle, what we fondly call “blowing up the Space Needle.”
It started on time, then abruptly quit. “We’re sorry, we seem to be having technical difficulties…”
Oops. Seattle ended the year on a disappointing fizzle. As my Daughter noted “..and they had Star Wars music playing, too!”
Undeterred we set off a few dozen of the little confetti poppers and the kids went their merry way with their faux champagne (Sparkling cider).
The old year was nice, Bizarre, even. I reflected to myself, and had no less then several dozen weird and amazing events. Too many to detail, maybe another day.
But looking ahead…ah…I see great things happening. A presidential election that so far promises to break all the molds. I seriously cannot wait to blog it.
Likewise, I look forward to my continued efforts, futile as they seems sometimes, to thwart the Global Warming lies by posting all the truth and science I can.
Immigration will surely continue to be a huge issue, as will terrorism, the war and so much more, all dovetailed into the presidential election theatre.
The local election theatre promises to be feisty as well, as Dino Rossi preps for a rematch to his stolen victory in 2004.
And then there is Hollywierd. Britney may have imploded and become old news, but now her sister is entering the fray. And I cannot believe that Paris will lose her fortune without some headlines. What of Lindsey, will she clean up, or burn out? Will Rosie return with her conspiracy theories intact?
Film at 11…and so much more.
On a personal note, I am going to be dieting, practicing guitar more and preparing to redesign my blog.
Oh Joy…I hate web design, but the new software has some features my present design cannot use. NW Bloggers will get a face lift, and I hope, a rebirth.
