Happy New Year!!! 2008, huh? I don't know what to say about that. A little disappointed that we don't have flying cars and full meals in tasty pill forms yet, but I guess we are doing alright. Ipods and Nintendo Wii and all.
The post holiday blues. They are tough to get through. And if you can't write a song about it then you need this guide to get through those dreadful months called January and February. Anticipate the absence of sunlight from your life. Periodic weepy moments remembering all the fun you had this holiday season. The early morning dry heaves when thinking about going in to work. And worst of all getting used to that empty space where the Christmas tree used to be.
***THE GUIDE***
1. THROW OUT THE TREE! If you have to just pick up the tree out of the stand, ornaments and all, and throw it out your back bedroom window, you must do it.
2. Exercise. Everyday. No excuses. Go to the gym and punish yourself for all the fun you had.
3. Find three good books to read. Jitterbug Perfume, Elliott Smith's Biography, and, I dont know, maybe Ramona Quimby Age 8.
For old times sake.
4. A little New Years cleaning. Throw out old shirts and boxes and things you don't use.
5. Start writing letters again. Send them to your friends and family. (everyone likes getting mail...if you send it..more times than not you will get a reciprocation soon)
6. Finally, its not wrong to supplement happiness with merchandise. Go buy yourself something. A new pair of slacks, a kitten called Terminator X, five new cds, a PSP game. Whatever you like. Pick out something nice.
New Years resolutions are not bad things. You only have to do those things you promise to do for two months. Once you get to March everything is good again and goes back to normal.
If all else fails think about Professor Peanut Butter and his modest nod.
This song was thought to be the best of the year in a few publications. What do you think? Best song of the year or just different enough that music elitists love it to make you feel that your musical taste is "simple"?
