A Farewell to Two-Thousand and Six
Farewell and welcome, loss and gain, end and beginning. The year of two-thousand and six has come to an end, and two-thousand and seven is in its infancy. So much has happened, so much changed, and we continue our lives.In 2006…
I lost everything I knew, and found life in hope. I found myself engaged to be married and heartbroken. I questioned life, its purpose, and meaning. I opened myself up and withdrew in to a cell—my own little world. I lost a grandfather, and watched as the sorrow united a family once divided.
Most importantly, though, is that I found things within myself that assured me everything would turn out for the best. It’s not time for me to awaken yet, and it’s best if I just drift for now.
So it’s time for a new year, a clean slate. Time to be reborn. Who knows what 2007 is going to bring? Hopefully some good music and kick-ass games, if nothing else. For the most part, 2006 sucked in both of those categories.
Predictions: Nintendo’s Wii is going to win the third generation of console wars. The music scene will experience the revolution that’s been on the brink of exploding for the past ten years. Apple is going to set itself on the path for becoming a much greater threat to Microsoft as Windows Vista fails to deliver. Likewise, Linux will also become a major competitor in the OS wars. Major scientific breakthroughs are going to be in the Medical field, especially when it comes to cures and vaccines for disease and viruses. People are going to wake up and figure out that global warming is a naturally occurring cycle, even though it may have been slightly accelerated by greenhouse gases—of which cows are still a primary contributor to.
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
