NCB atrium, kingston jamaica. The big orange building. It looks much better from the parking lot than it does from the street.

Every since I was young / 2 years ago I have despised the whole concept of the new year, new term or new start. At the beginning of every school year I would be enthusiastic about surviving another year, being given another chance to prove myself, make brave plans for the new semester and give up smoking. But I was just putting myself (once again!) in a trap that I had set the previous year and by the end of the semester I would be back at square one, below average, and a coward with cigarette buds in my coffee.

After doing that a few times I came to the conclusion that the whole idea of the new year is just a mirage to make you forget what your had learned doing the previous year. An evil cousin whom would visit for christmas and eat all your fruit cake and steal your presents get you in trouble and then send you a "I am really sorry" note from far away.

Nowadays nothing starts over, I look at everything as a long process of steps created to torture you until you give up or die trying (level 8-3 mario bros). I keep my computer hibernated (that is when you set up computer to keep all you windows open when you turn it off) for months on end. Because I would surely forget the wisdom gained the day before. I don't like resolutions either, resolutions are for sissies.

I guess all the company christmas parties are over by now. But if not, I am available until the end of the year - nothing brings people together better than load music, liquor and chicken wings. It is not possible to have too much free food, fun and frolicking.

The comes a point in your life when your addicted to something like monkeys. Everybody is destined to be addicted to something, it's human nature. Some people have the uncanny ability to go from addiction to addiction without even realizing it, making them hard to please and crazy. Often times it is even possible to be addicted to nothing.

In our modern lifestyle everything is bad for you, your neighbor, your chickens, come with side effects, finding a good addiction is almost impossible, plus it would usually get you into trouble and be banded once everybody else finds out about it.

It is the end of another year. When all is said and done we can pull a clean sheet from our pockets and write down all we have achieved, all that we have seen just to make sure we have left nothing behind. Anyway merry christmas yall and hope next year will be as good as this one, peace out.
