Hi everyone!

I know I'm a little late to update this, but better late than never. Just a few thoughts as we enter the year of the dragon. _{(Normally I don't make a big deal out of the new year, but this one is special.)}

No, I don't believe that the end of the world is coming, and no, I don't think that in December humans are going to enter another state of being or any of those theories that keep popping up all over the internet. I do believe things will change, just not in the supernatural.

Because like it or not, the world IS changing. It's already started. As much as the media would like to rock you into a sense of false security, the foundations of our livelihoods are slowly crumbling. But I'm not here to preach about that, there's plenty of information on it for those of you resourceful enough to look.

I don't know exactly what this year will bring, I don't know if our way of life won't be completely turned around by the start of next year, I can't say if this facade of peace won't be gone by then. Yes, as much as I love the idea of a peaceful world, I'm not naive enough to believe it could ever come about. Not in the near future anyway. There will always be controversy, that's just the human way. Every attempt at a utopian lifestyle has failed, though perhaps in time we can develop a less violent way of settling differences. One can hope.

Anyhow, no matter what happens this year good and bad I intend to face it with everything I've got. Carpe Diam.
