Here is hoping your 2008 is better than your 2007 which is really saying: “I hope my 2008 is better than my 2007.”
I’m looking for better. I am looking for good results in mid-February with my colon-o-rooter. More money. A better place to live. A presidential candidate I can actually vote for and not have to write in Willie Nelson for the second election in a row. Not that there is anything wrong with Willie. Or like Tom T. Hall’s wonderful words in “The Cowboy and the Poet” said: (Wow, three references to three country singers in one day! What gives?):
I told him i was a poet/I was lookin’ for the truth
I do not care for horses, whiskey, women or the loot
I said i was a writer, my soul was all on fire
He looked at me an’ he said, “you are a liar.”
“It’s faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money.”
A happy new year to all, ‘cept for those people who really pissed me off.
