2008 was over quicker than it even began. And like every other hugely popular thing it's time for HAB4U to look back on a year and tell you the things that were good and the things that were not good at all. The only thing I remember about the last year was following US politics a lot but not really caring about it that much. Now that it's all black over there I suggest paying heaps and heaps of attention to your local council politics instead. In fact maybe that will be the ANEWBLOG.
So anyway, you'll hear a lot of people saying ignorant shit like "it's just another day really" when talking about the New Years. They so often chuck the 'really' on because deep down they know that they're definitely wrong. As well as it being justabit of a big fucking deal to God to see his planet go round the universe again, perfectly as always, this particular round also signals the following key shifts:
| 2008 | 2009 |
| Listening to music | Don't. It sucks |
| Marine life | Minerals that can 'think' |
| Quitting smoking | HAW HAW HAW |
| Bacon | Recession Bacon |
| Crying in the shower | Crying in the bath |
| Computers | Child slaves |
| Reading that book | Acting like you might of |
| Secret Herbs and Spices | Obvious Herbs and Spices |
| Rape-based humour | Actual humour |
| Theses | Thesez |
| Sisters | Mothers |
But apart from that everything else will be pretty much exactly the same. Except for the things which have their own tragic momentum and which you thought you might be able to stop - binge-peppering, replying to those texts from vodafone telling you you're nearly out of credit - those things will just get way worse.
I know there are exceptions, but it's true for most people most years. So it's definitely probably true for you right now.
