Cars (not!)

Originally, this was going to be a post about cars. How I really like (some of) them, why I like them, what I think about the future of cars; in short, George’s “Complete view of automobiles”, Special Edition.
But it won’t be, and that’s for two reasons, namely a) nobody gives a damn and b) I don’t feel like it right now. Maybe in the near future, if I feel like it. For now, a few thoughts on, erm, now. The present. And the near future.
Let me start by saying that I do feel very positive about 2007. Not sure why, but I do. Maybe because of how 2006 was, or maybe because I could really do with a good year. Not necessarily extremely good, but a nice, calm, normal year. No evictions, no illnesses, no lawyers, no money problems, no work problems (I’d written “no friends problems” here, but I’ll leave it out). I know this is a bit utopic, as all of these problems are bound to come up, I’d just like them to be a bit more low-key than they have been in the past year.
Because I’ve really had it. There were times in 2006 that I felt really desperate, that nothing seemed to be going well, that I wasn’t doing anything right, or even if I did, I just couldn’t make things work. I hereby give 2006 the title of “The Worst Year So Far”, can we have a big round of applause (not!). On the other hand though, “may you live in interesting times” (cannot remember who was that said that, sorry for not referencing), and 2006 has certainly been interesting. In the same way perhaps that the Black Plague was interesting, but there you have it.
I am exaggerating a bit, of course. I’ve also had good times in 2006, I’ve had fun, and some things have definitely been great about it. But overall, it sucked big time.
On a different note, I’ve realised that most of my recent (well, last few months worth of) posts have been completely pointless, utterly meaningless, and did not make that much sense whatsoever. I’ve managed to right posts upon posts in which I’m not really saying anything, and though that is a certain achievement, it’s not so to the point that I could go into politics, and therefore useless. I’ll try to make up for that.

By me, of course!
