webpablo is ready for the future

So, naturally 2007 wouldn't be complete without a proper year end post. Yes, I am aware it is January 3rd, but give me a break, I was processing things. I know I have not been the best of keeping in touch with you all over the last year, a post here, a post there, but nothing that really let you know what was going on. Well, this is because 2007 was full of a lot of soul eroding, life changing, tragic events. Now I realize this post might come off as angry, or sad or something, but to stamp 2007 with any one emotion would be foolish and insufficient. I am writing this post because I am happy to be starting a new year. I know it is arbitrary to seal off a period of time per calendar year, but let me just say, I could not be happier that 2007 is over. I went through most of the year saying that it was a polarizing year, balanced by some really wonderful things, and some really very terrible things. In the last six months, I realized that the bad out weighed the good, and my faith in humanity and the goodness of people has been forever damaged. Without specifics I will say that I have lost people dear to me in very unnatural ways, and have had others injured physically and emotionally. I have been unable to articulate how all this makes me feel, so its easier, much easier to give a general Fuck You to 2007. For those of you that know me, know that I am a silver lining sort of person, and needless to say, it takes a lot to get me down, but I realized that this year, even my sometimes obnoxious optimism can be broken down. If you are still reading, I need to be reminded that good things happen. So, in effort to change my emotional blackness headed into 2008, I need you to comment, or e-mail, or call, or send a letter, or however you feel most appropriate, and tell me about how good life has been, is, and will continue to be. Not for me, but for you, a lot of contact from old friends this year came bearing bad news, so, please, please send me good news. To those of you reading, I might be your son, friend, sibling, boyfriend, or complete stranger. Last time I checked, these titles also afforded the privilege of hearing good news. Since I moved away, it feels like a lot of people in my life forgot about this little detail. So how about it?
