And just like that, my dear friends, we find ourselves in a new year. Personally, the whole celebrating the end/beginning of the year was never my thing – it always comes off as anti-climactic (unlike anti-climatic which means you’re not only against the weather, but also likely an idiot). It’s like the buildup of a big storm on the horizon only to conclude with a brief drizzle.
But here we are. 2010 and the future is now. By 2015 I expect my hoverboard and self-drying jacket a la Back to the Future II. It seems that Nokia’s built a concept phone that runs on Coke. Familiar? Mr. Fusion! And based on the remakes that Hollywood is trying to shove down our throats (Clash of the Titans, I’m looking at you and my look is full of hate), I have no doubt that we’ll reach Jaws 19 in the next five years (and in 3-D to boot!) and that the Cubs will win the world series. You know why? Because 2010 is the year of possibility.
American Apparel has that hat coming out in its fall 1985 2010 line.
2008 wasn’t a good year with much too much time spent feeling cold, alone, and unrecognizable to my self.
2009 was about movement. Uncertain movement, but I traveled, smiled, and began to feel warm again. I would see glimpses of not only the former self that I recognized, but the self that I wish to be.
2010? I graduate this year. I make choices. I stretch out more and look myself in the mirror. 2010 is about possibility.
And it feels good.

Yeah — maybe we’ll have a new Jaws 3-D movie in 2015, but will we really have fourteen or fifteen more Jaws movies between now and then?
Mal, We need 16 Jaws movies between now and 2015. Some Hollywood Exec will decide that it’ll be a good idea to film 6 films all at once (like in LotR and the last Harry Potter) and release them within a couple of months of each other. I’m confident that Hollywood is that moronic.
After all, an entire group of people thought it’d be a good idea to release a remake of Clash of the Titans.
I have high hopes for 2010 as well. May 2010 be everything we both want it to be.
Love that pic. Good luck in 2010. Seems like you’re off to a good start. ;)
i’m a little apprehensive about 2010. i was in an eerily familiar situation going into 2008, and was all cheery and hopeful, and that.. uh.. didn’t work out so well. so i’m hesitant to aim too high for 2010.. :-)
This year must be better. Not that last year was a waste of a calendar. But still, upwards and onwards.
DJ & Alice, I like what Brad said. 2010 must be better.
Brad, You are wise. And I like your site.
Suburban, I was inspired by your fun pics. 2010 resolution? Hang out with you more. (To be honest, that applies to DJ, Brad, Alice, and Mal as well. I miss you all dearly.)
