Well, here we are on New Years Eve again. One of my New Years wishes is for WordPress to stick to one format for more than five minutes. Seriously, guys, I was just here about ten days ago, and everything is all different again. Give the old folks in the back a chance to catch up, willya? Oh, wait, nevermind, I just got thrown into some weird ultra cool alternate format you have in some obscure cyber corner. Well, quit it anyway. I am going to be hitting the half-century mark in 2012, and I have very little patience.
Anyway, I am going to keep it short. Here is a rerun of what I wrote this time last year. What do you think? Too Cynical? Hit the nail on the head? Or simply too lazy to come up with something different?
Between us? I am going with door number three.
Pick up your remote, click here for your rerun, and Happy New Year.
Sarah, Michelle, Arizona, now that is one hell of a re-run. Scarily psychic there. Your a bit too much like Sookie. I just would like to know when you were close enough to any of these um people to have heard their intentions.
By the way, it would only be an “weird ultra cool alternate format” if it stinking worked. My prediction is that some smart-ass coding genius within the next few years is going to think up something they feel is so cool, and unknowingly shut down everything, and by everything, I mean everything. God, the ultimate coder, just wanted chicks and a cool Ferrari and instead destroys the universe. Bummer dude.
Not as cool as your predictions for this last year, nor as likely, but I can dream, can’t I?
You know I went and hung around Sarah and Michelle while, um, you were sleeping. It’s a nighttime travel thing, and the folks just seem to open up to me. Must be the moonshine.
Ya gots to make de proo-gram WORK bee-fore you drive de cah, mon. Imma just sayin’!
Your prediction is highly likely, and even if I had tried to predict anything tonight, I never would have come up with such solid foresight. My lazy ass did me a favor in not competing with your soothsaying talents for 2012.
How could you miss “a horny pizza guy will waste three months of my life so that he can up his lecture fee and promote his book”? I thought we were friends, dude.
Awww, shit man – as I recall, my crystal ball blew up after the Kardashians, and I was really winging it from there. It was clearly such an obvious event about to happen, too.
Well, so far you are the only one who caught such a glaring omission. I hope you can forgive me for not having the foresight to warn you. Maybe the fact that he could sing just threw him completely off the radar of the realistic, I don’t know.
Sorry, dude. I’ll make it up to you.

Lisa Shear Shawn: Omg… This is brilliant Kel!!! So clever, and so on point. You knocked it out of the ballpark …and you are SO right about that ubiquitous “thank God, this year’s over” comment coming out of everyone’s mouth. Yeah, a year of ups and down, births and deaths, weddings and divorces, , oily politicians, incredible acts of beauty, generosity and love, revolting acts of brutality and ugliness etc.etc Wow. Fancy that. Like you, I’m just certain next year will prove SO much better
As Oliver pointed out last night (maybe to shield himself from his own emotion over what 2012 will mean in his life), New Year’s is just another day that, like all the others before it, just turns into the next day, isn’t it? Oh and Val, I’m pretty sure Kel was speaking metaphorically when she wrote about “reruns”…. though, admittedly, other than Dick Clark, New Year’s Eve IS probably a bit slim when it comes to original TV programming 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
