Before you start making all those New year resolutions, look back on the year past. Just check if you have kept your part of the bargain called life. I have this sinking feeling that I haven't been quite honest with life. I also have a worse sinking feeling that I am going to be the same in 2006 too.

I am not really into New Year resolutions. Most of them are just expressions, figures of speech so to say. Promises you cannot possibly keep. I dislike people who don't keep promises, even if it is myself.

No, I am not preaching. I am just trying to tell myself that it won't do any harm to try and be rather better next year, any year.

That is about the worst New Year resolution I have heard !

I don't make resolutions. Why wait until New Years to make changes? Shouldn't changes be done through out the year?

Exactly, rain. I agree absolutely. And as always on the day after, I always wonder on the day after New Year, wasn't last New Year the same? Only difference as far as I can make out is that one grows older, so the perspective changes.

But Happy New Year to you, rain.

Hey christopherbrooks, thanka lot for reading my blog. I agree, my stuff is a bit personal. But then I am a loner, remember.

I have been to your blog. I didn't find the comments activated. So I have to leave this comment here.

You know what, putting day to day life is what blogging is all about. ANyway, I believe so. And I did get quite a bit of insight into the life of a park ranger. Good stuff.

Happy New Year to you too, Loner.
And yes, you're right. Each year seems to be the same, only a year older. But for me, it seems like each year only gets worse. Ten years ago I was a happier person. Oh, wait, I was still drinking then, oops. LOL *sigh*

:-) Aha, so that is it. You used to drink, huh. And gave up the stuff later. Good of you.

Is it really the last legal drug on earth? I understand the oops followed by the nostalgic sigh. Everyone who has drunk and stopped drinking knows the oops and the sigh. Oops. *SIGH*

He was back in that old place, where memories were on riot. Nostalgia doesn't half describe what he felt. It was not the moon. Not the flowers. The shock of deja vu was in the ordinary things, in the vegetables and the sodden grass. The drizzle just added to the score. He realized what many before him had already known. That love is not about joy, or happiness. It is about anguish, about a glimpse of the unreachable. A vision of what the human brain can achieve, and what no neural circuit has yet managed to duplicate. Sitting on the moist rocks of the cliff, he realized he woud gladly go through the same pain, and grief. For love is a gift of god, even for athiests. A message form a power greater than humanity. And he said to himself. I miss you. I miss you like the air I breathe. The ripple of the waves of the lake, like soft laughter, fills me with a silent loneliness nothing can ever wash away. Where are you now? What are you doing?

A Weird Loner !

Pondering on the reason for one's existence is hardly the sort of thing one ought to be doing these days. But, there being nothing really worthwhile about life, about being alive, or even about feeling alive, this is just the kind of futile occupation that appeals to loner's of my sort. So here I am, by my favourite watering hole, listening to the silence of eons. Maybe I am weird, like some nice people have kindly pointed out. What they have not been able to point out though, is the reason for my weirdness or anybody elses weirdness. I guess, sitting by all by oneself, by the side of a sullen lake is weird. Fine. So I am a weird loner. Thank you very much. That is what loners are ! Anyway, I haven't posted anything at all for a long time. Even my best friends seem to have given up on me. It is tough being a loner. It is tougher being a weird loner.
Is theology a contardiction in terms ? Is it possible for a mere mortal to study God. I wonder, like so many before me, how any one can be arrogant enough to think that God, if it exists, can be comprehended by man. I woud have thought that by definition God is incomprehensible. So any study in that direction is futile and bound to fail.
