我 靠 *

Well, 2009, as my Grandfather used to say; "It's nice to see you come, and nice to see you go". Percy, wherever you are - I couldn't agree more.

I took this photo on Christmas Eve down on the beach at English Bay. I thought it was sort of fitting. Part of me feels that they are celebrating the upcoming future, going forward with glee and good spirits. Another part of me feels they are laughing at the departure of the bad things, and that while "Joy is in the ears that hear", type-thing and they are looking forward to the upcoming future. Its kind of the same thing, no?

All I know is that as one who really doesn't put much stock in the passing of the years - for 2009? I say good riddance. Thanks for dropping by - and there's the door.

According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2009 apparently was the Year of the Ox. That's funny, because I was sure that it was "The Year of Getting Urinated On From A Great Height". Even after all that though? I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic about 2010.

Bonne Annee, and Bonne Chance, Everyone.
