Are you getting antsy? I know I am... just when I think we're ready... we're not. Not that we're not trying just maybe there's not enough hours in the day for everyone to do the millions of things that need to be done. I imagine I am the singular human suffering from these delays. From a Buddhist perspective, I guess that's just silly. I got a book for christmas called "The Buddha Book" and according to it all suffering/disease originates from one (possibly all) of three poisonous delusions: ignorance, hatred, and attachment. Perhaps I am too attached? I need to just relax and move forward doing what can be done. And Be Patient!
Which reminds me - USA Today predicts that one of the newest trends for 2008 is 'delayed satisfaction'. I have a hard time buying it, especially when juxtaposed with traffic in the city. Nobody wants to wait for anything anymore, including myself. I chose to avoid shopping at the mall this year and dealing with the masses of self-entitled spoiled rotten little brats... and their children. Instead I shopped mainly online. Saved money, saved time, saved my sanity.
I don't know about everyone else, but for me 2008 is about movement and accomplishment. It's a time for breakthroughs and in some cases, breakouts. Agosto pointed out that the 8 on its side represents infinity. And let's face it, eight is a pretty damn good number. In fact, a winning number for me during my August trip to Vegas for my b-day. So I may have spent twice what I made till 8 hit on the roulette wheel but hit it finally did. I digress.
2008 also rhymes with great, which I find fortuitous. It's also the year Blog4Reel launches.. sometime this year... I promise, so I consider that auspicious or at least that's the intent.
I hope all of you out there, right now.. getting ready to ring in the New Year with champagne and kisses then possibly hangovers and breakups have the best year of your lives! Ever! Or at least till 2009.
Peace and Prosperity to All!
