New Year's.... How is it significant? It's only the New Year because we humans made it so. If we had decided the New Year was to be on August 17 every two years, then we would have a big party then! I know that it has to do with the earth's rotations and such, but how does that mean that we get some kind of a "fresh start"? Every DAY is a fresh start! Every moment! Every nanosecond! And to celebrate? well, I'm not saying it's not fun, cuz it is =) I guess we humans just seize every chance to party, don't we? Well, this year I couldn't bring myself to make any resolutions. I sat down and said, I really truly said, "There is nothing that I could improve about my life." I guess I'm satisfied. Or maybe just too cynical to believe in the New Year.
Oh, and by the way...Sorry for considerably depressing you on New Year's day, Let me try to reverse the effects of my post.
GO PARTY, EVERYONE!!! GO EAT, EAT, AND EAT AGAIN!!! BECAUSE THAT IS THE TRUE SPIRIT OF NEW YEAR'S!
I just love food.

I think the reason is, because of a depressing part of human nature, we find the idea of a "fresh start" really hard. We go through life so fast. Life is short.
ReplyDeletePeople party for the new year because they think ur supposed to. Ur "supposed to" because party animals (I don't like party animals) like to party. Normal people like us also enjoy parties, but we dont party "hard" like party animals do.
Anyway, we make a fresh start because, as hard as we find it, humans love the feeling they get after they make a fresh start. An the New Year, which is when you're "supposed" to have a fresh start, is the perfect time to share that great feeling with friends.
Everone likes to feel fresh and new and better. I think this whole comment is million dollar material for Colgate ads...
Nice and I agree. So doews my mum!! Isnt it just an ordinary day? Do you wake up the next morning and feel any different?? The only significant thing is that itll be a pain in the buttocks to write 2010 on Mr. Cordes' papers!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I agree. I didn't really feel the need to party on New Year's Eve.
ReplyDeleteare you sure there is nothing you can improve in your life?
ReplyDeletethere has to be something
I never get a chance to be a party animal- I wonder if it would be fun...
ReplyDeleteI think a new year is truly a fresh start, every day is too, and I suppose every second, but a new year truly feels like you can really do something better in that year and improve yourself..... if that makes sense....but I don't think it's a big deal made out of nothing.
