I think it's important to reminisce about the year that has past. To sit there and think a certain timeframe, 365 days, and to get an idea of what one can accomplish in this time and using this as reference, being the new year, take strides towards improving.
Celebrate all you want, but what does a glass ball have to do with it? What does getting drunk have to do with it? I don't want to sound judgmental, but I am so fuck off, but it seems the ones that go out and make the biggest deal and the loudest noise about the new year are the people that didn't do shit the year before. Or the year before that. Hell, I didn't make any noise about new year's and I didn't do shit with myself this year, either. I'm the worst.
I understand it's a new beginning for all of us, but I think the festivities have gone overboard and those that are getting hammered and popping pills and fucking around, they've just began their "new beginning" feeling like shit and probably up to no good.
Because if this festival was about farmers and their harvest, something has gone horribly wrong that a bunch of unemployed shits are out getting hammered while the farmers in this country (the States) are getting royally fucked in the ass.
