Reflections In A Flubber Room

What you perceive is what it is.

bye bye 2008

Last post of the year. I am a little intoxicated at the moment, a little tired. The others are in the kitchen with The Twilight Zone marathon on SciFi, a bunch of cheese, caviar, and acoholic refreshments on the table. I, meanwhile, am here on the iMac listening to a cool, very early Genesis single ("A Winter's Tale/One Eyed Hound") on 45junkee's channel on YouTube.

I suppose I'm ending the year on a marginally better mood note than I have been lately. As long as I can keep the money situation under control, pay the bills and all, I suppose I'll be okay.

Here's hoping that 2009 will be a better, happier, and somewhat easier-to-live year for me, Cherie, and everyone else. What are the chances? Stranger things have happened, you know.

Now listening to another 45junkee vintage single, this one by Love Sculpture featuring Dave Edmunds.

Music like that makes me happy.

Funny thing; back then everyone, just like today, lamented how complex and awful life had become and waxed nostalgic for the simpler, happier times of the past. Do good old days really exist, or is that simply another kind of illusion, like the mp3s that have replaced physical records like the vapors that sublime from a block of ice? I don't know. Time moves in only one direction, unfortunately. It would be nice for people to rediscover the virtues of simplicity and sincerity and respect, but that's so last century.

Celebrate, and be careful driving, folks.
