Valediction

Good times and bum times
I've seen them all, and my dear
I'm still here.

I don't know how to send off this year. In some ways it has been the worst of my life. I have had my heart broken and my spirit crushed; been taught lesson after lesson about my utter worthlessness. And yet it has also contained what may be the most perfect moments of happiness I will ever experience.

At some point very soon 2004 will make it into my long-neglected photo album; I wonder if I'll have anything more cogent to say about it then? Whether it will be any less trite?

Whatever. It's nearly done. I have a lot to be grateful for, and a lot to cherish. I will be glad to see the back of this terrible year, but I will never let go of its joys.

All of you who were a part of it, thank you. And may you -- may we all -- have a very happy New Year.

Happy New Year, Matt and everyone else. At least there have been some upsides to your year...

Here's hoping that 2005 treats us all considerably better.

Hey

I've just come here through a random link, but i'm a friend of Seldo's who I just saw in your links, so thought I would say hi hello anyway!

Shiny new year!
