Happy New Year?

So why do we all feel like this?

Like ripping out our insides to change ourselves just because it is a new year?

That we are supposed to change and alter our being strictly because it is January 1, 2009.

Bogus.

I have things I want to change in myself, but I have been trying to alter them since I discovered they were my faults.

Once again, the media suggests, "A New Year, A New You" (not a bad tagline since I just came up with that one)

Why can't every day be trying to make a "New You"?

That's what I know. Why can't we begin to rectify changes within ourselves as soon as we notice them? How come it takes a formal acknowledgment by society that we try to change ourselves? Group mentality? Everyone else is changing, so we should too?

I don't get it.

But that's not going to stop me from making the changes I need to make (to continue making them as opposed to begin to make them now since it's this "holiday" "celebration of sorts")

This day is just like every other day.
24 hours.
It's a Wednesday, for goodness' sake.
It's not an 8th day of the week or anything.
It is a normal day.
And I will treat it as such.


I'm out.
