Before You Even Ask About My Plans For New Year’s

No, I don’t have any plans yet.

Yes, there is an internal struggle at work here where I don’t really feel like doing anything, but also feel like doing nothing is giving in to the creeping darkness that follows us all through the holidays and confirms that my life is being thrown away, first one day at a time, now whole years at a time and only getting faster and faster until it feels like the world will be collapsing in on its own misery and pain until each new year is only a marker for how far away from our happy selves we’ve come.

Why, what are you up to?

Okay, I’ll bring some beers.
