I Loathe New Years

Many people love New Years. They get dressed up and waste a ridiculous amount of money going to events, ingesting large amounts of alcohol and sleeping with people they shouldn't. For as long as I can remember, New Years has always been a melancholy day. I never saw it as a new year that brings fresh and new opportunities. All I could think about was that a whole year was gone, consigned to history, and we are all getting older and one step closer to retirement, poor health and ultimately the swan song.

We're already in 2010, a whole decade into the 21st century! Time needs to slow way the hell down.
