andrea it's the new year
out with the old
in with the ne
how do we decide what stays & what goes?
will we rid of all our cruelty & inhumanities to take in kindness & understanding for all?
or will we throw out what compassion is left & welcome even more atrocities to turn & change our world to an even bigger mess than it was last year?

deb as soon as 1999 had passed
my world was new again
the old is gone
so throw it away
already

i only wish i could forget
all the things i need not recall
the things i dont wish to remember

my fingers shake as i put the knife away
after having tried to kill it once again
but it won't go away
so i must learn to deal
to blot it out with time
and while i wait
it gets easier
for my mind is filled with other things
much more worth the time

chicken pot pi for some reason, it used to be associated with technology but now only "no money down" advertisements remain. How sad.. I remember waiting for new years when I was a little kid. Not its a new milenium and I don't give a shit, and neither does it. 000323

tourist TWO thousand years
TWENTY centuries
Not Even
It`s an arbitrary count from an aproximated Birthday (no one really agrees on the date of the nativity)
Humanity has been here much longer
Vertibrate life longer still
Invertibrate life loger still
Cellular life longer still
the Physical planet longer still
the Planetary Nebula longer still
the Primordial Dust longer still
the Primordial Radiation longer still
I TELL YOU THIS
AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING
IS NOW AND EVER SHALL BE
BEING WITHOUT END
AUM




p.s.(don`t sweat the small stuff)
we`re all part of the big stuff
always have been, always will be.

birdmad maybe it was all those zeros that made it such an empty year

(but then again, i know better than to simply blame it on time)

ladybird Oh it was a wonderful year. I was eighteen. I saw it in standing in the middle of Dublin with my best friend, my favourite band playing and fireworks going off. At midnight I looked at the moon as promised and in Limerick Kevin looked at the same moon.

We got a nitelink home and a boy from my estate who I'd never met before gave us free beer. A complete stranger walked me home.

At home my parents' party was still going on so I drank champagne while watching the new year celebrations everywhere else in the world.

It was the year I lost my virginity, left school, saw Rome, came out, started university....it was an amazing year.

p2 a very special leap year

as a programmer dealing with schedules
i've had to learn the rules of the leap year
basically
if it's divisible by 4
then it's a leap year
unless
if it's divisible by 100
then it's not
unless
if it's divisible by 400
then it is

y2k fulfills all of these
and is only the 5th one to happen
since the alleged birth of christ
and won't happen again
for at least another 10 generations

consider yourselves special, folks
you've witnessed something
that won't be seen again
until your
