2015 raze the one that came before you — the one that just breathed its last — was pretty good, all things considered. let's see what you've got, then. maybe by the time i get used to writing you, interesting things will start to happen. 150101 ... fishawk this bit of lyric sums up my feelings for 2015: "Well, the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore When life looks like Easy Street there is danger at your door Think this through with me Let me know your mind Wo-oah, what I want to know is are you kind?"
