What a fucked up year.

There it is, I said it. I’m sure there are many who made great strides in 2003. But I had a hell of a time keeping it together and so did most of my associates. So good riddance to Miss Two-Thousand Fucking-Three.

Loverboy and I will be in the Big Sleazy for the next three days. If you’re in the area look us up. I’m sure we’ll have a blast although it’s the first New Year’s Eve I’ve spent without EJ in… six years? Maybe more. But I relish the chance to get away and cleanse my mind of the past 12 months because in 2003:

I barely stayed afloat financially; my government used specious justifications to stay engaged in a war I don’t think we should be fighting; and too many people I know died of complications due to AIDS.

On the plus side:

I reconnected with Loverboy, found a spiritual path that suits me and have just begun to see a light at the end of the financial tunnel (I think).

Perhaps that’s what life’s all about - push and pull; give and take. But my 2004 has got to be better. I will find a way to make it so. That is my wish for any who reads this entry: Find a way to make your 2004 better. After all, we deserve it.

Happy New Year. Happy Kwanzaa. Happy Ness.

Kiss you when I get back.

i’m with you, ‘love…’04 MUST be better. happy all’a that to you, too. and have a great trip.

Life is what it is, a series of challenges. No promises that it will be all good or all bad, but only what we make it. May 2004 bring you more satisfying challenges. Happy New Year!

yes, it is going to be a better year, damnit!!!

i’m of two minds on this. on the morning of my bday i was like in puking tears over yet another wretched year.

then i was talking to a friend & realized no matter how miserable i was, my life did change in major ways, my direction shifted (oh god that hurts. it’s like pulling every muscle in the psyche). & it’s nowhere near over, the exertion. but it’s okay.

2004: bring it on. yeah.

2003 has had its share of good days and bad days. It’s been up and down. But for the most part it has been good. But like you I can’t wait for 2004 to come and rescue me.

It’s been a rough year for me, too. A rollercoaster. A lot of change, a lot to get adjusted to.

2004 will be better. In fact, I’m determined that it’s going to be on jam. Hope you are having a great time in New Orleans.

so i guess you are happy about the dawn of the new year. i’ll be checking and hopefully contributing to your better new year. be well!

“But I had a hell of a time keeping it together and so did most of my associates. So good riddance to Miss Two-Thousand Fucking-Three”

i have to co-sign on that one. good fucking farewall 2003 - ya bitch. here’s to hoping that 2004 is beautiful, spiritual and blessed for us all.

Happy New Year, J. Luv ya!

It can only get better, right? That’s what I keep telling myself.

whatever the year was its all over. looking forward to this new one. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sending you much love and many blessings for the new year!!!
