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*

The Tree

The tree was fine when I saw it last time. I don't quite recollect how long ago that was. I do recollect the tree was fine. Now I see it again. All shrivelled up, The glorious leaves gone, So too the pride. It looks old, Maybe feels old, wasted, useless What happened to you, old friend? What bolt of destiny struck you down. I doubt you will ever hold that head up again Against the sky, against the wind, against time. But don't you worry. We are with you. Shrunk, shrivelled, shaken down No matter. We are with you.

Today was not particularly bad as days go. I had my usual share of being alone. Deep in the madding crowd. Sometimes I wonder who among the multitude teeming around me are actually of my special category - loners. We don't tell each other you see. And when we do tell, we use odd names, hmm. like loner2. My other life, the one everyone assumes is my real one, went off as usual. The same old crowd. The same old nonsense uttered all around. Everyone pretending to be the best guy or gal on the planet. Man, it is quaint. Oh, I forgot to mention this one. I need to tell about my dreams. Some people would call them nightmares. So brace yourself for some weird posts. Most of them are going to be disjointed, 'cause like most people I don't remember the dreams in full. But unlike Plato, I do know they are dreams. Maybe they ARE dreams. In fact I believe they are dreams. Just dreams.

Maybe loneliness implies detachment. This is not what an old comment on this blog says. It says loners are basically asocial beings with some hidden grudge in thier minds. I don't think so. May be there are loners of that version out there. But detachment is the phrase that has been on my mind for some days now. The true meaning of detachment is way beyond me. Embracing emotions, experiences. I don't know. May there is something in that.
