Now that it is 2009 I thought about reflecting on 2008 and how in many ways it was the worst year I can remember. Right from the jump my beloved Patriots, taking a perfect season into the game of all games, failed to the NY Giants. From that point on 2008 snowballed into a cluster fuck of a year. There were some highlights, a new President, um, well, that's about it. Fortunately for me personally 2008 was not too bad, but around the world it appeared dismal, bleak, uncomfortable, strange, hostile, and going completely down the tubes. Let's hope in 2009 we as a human race can pull our collective heads out of our collective asses and begin to work together as one equal race of humanity to solve problems, create jobs, better our economy, stop fighting and war mongering, and for a change start reporting and discussing all the positive things that are going on to be shared and make a difference. As they say in journalism, "If it bleeds, it leads!", how sad, will this ever change, or are we doomed as a society and will simply sit comfortably in our suv's looking at the world as an accident on the highway, slowly driving by and gawking. Best of luck to you and yours in 2009. Go Pats!
