Yet another year has come to pass.
2007 has seen me ride a dramatic rollercoaster of intoxicating, triumphant highs and soul-crushing lows. It was almost always one or the other: I barely had time to catch my breath and enjoy the view.
But now that I have come to a momentary stop, I find myself standing on solid ground, thinking what the hell just happened?. But I am, despite everything, still standing. A little dizzy, perhaps, but without any noticeable dent or bruise on my spirit.
The new year promises more quiet victories, loud defeats, and, above all, many many many annoying uncertainties. I know I will soon have to get out of this crazy car, breathe, slow down, and settle down before I die of a heart attack. But that time is not now. Not yet.
So, as crazy as it sounds, I'm jumping back into the front seat.
Hello, 2008. I'm ready for you.
