I apologize to the people who must be thinking I’ve given up on this already, but no; I’ve just been stupidly busy with Christmas etc. Im glad its all over. I don’t know why it has to all be so chaotic, Its only two days ;- Christmas Day and New Years Day, the latter being a total waste of fucking time. Christmas Day’s all right, seeing family, organized gluttony etc. but I honestly don’t see the point of New Year.
Celebrating the passing of time is ridiculous; If anything we should be bereaving that another year has passed, edging us that little bit closer to the inevitable black abyss. But no; people go out, get pissed, kiss strangers and get beat-up. Im not trying to be all moral about it, I enjoy a drink, but I despise the necessity for it all on this one stupid evening.
I didn’t even go out for New Year, partly due to the flu, partly due to rebellion against what I see as ‘organized fun and drunkenness’. I actually hate it. Im not going to pay forty fucking quid for a ticket to get in somewhere I don’t want to go and celebrate something I couldn’t care less about. Its not a ‘New’ year anyway. Nothing in my life has changed. Its not like you have to make new friends or start a new job with all past commitment and Criminal Convictions wiped-clean. I’ll just be writing an 8 instead of a 7. Its a shame. I like 7.
Apologies for the extreme cynicism. Deep down Im bitter and hateful person.

New Years parties are never as good as you expect/ hope them to be, are they? Staying in is the only sensible option to avoid disapointment really
Have a Normal New Year…

Comment by m3ganx22 January 4, 2008 @ 1:34 amNew Years is my birthday also. So theres always a reason to celebrate. Don’t think of it as new years from now on just think of it as cheri’s birthday then maybe it wont seem so pointless to have a drink or something.
Comment by Cheri January 4, 2008 @ 2:00 amAhhh, Jimmy, you’ve moved to a WORD blog! In my opinion, cynicism sounds better on a youtube video (yours, specifically) instead of a blog. I was trying my best to not sexually harass you just now like all the other American teenage girls out there – so be thankful
Anyway, you have this way of making somewhat mundane things (your chocolate peanut story and the bus vlog) into something extremely amusing…or maybe I just find it amusing because I’m a bit sadistic??! Yeah, don’t stop because I love yo- I mean, reading/watching your rants. (I should edit everything in this comment to sound more sane…but I can’t be bothered.)

Comment by Molly January 14, 2008 @ 2:40 amIf you don’t like celebrating the passing of time does that mean you don’t like birthdays? Surely you celebrated your 18th? When the time comes you must be celebrating your 21st too, they’re both seen as milestone birthdays…
Comment by Vicki January 14, 2008 @ 9:46 pmThats it! I’m the male equivalent of Daria! Butt perhaps a bit less monotone…
Comment by Jimmy0010 January 14, 2008 @ 9:59 pmI like everything you do, be it videos, podcasts or _articles_. Sarcasm always works for me
Keep it up!
Comment by Luni January 15, 2008 @ 9:37 pmLove from Finland!
Jimmy m’dear, I wholeheartedly agree with you on this topic. I myself made the error of stepping outside of the threshold of my warm home and venturing forth onto London’s streets for NYE. Rather foolishly, in hindsight, I made that step at about 10:00pm, by which time pretty much all of central London had shut, penning in those early, but equally as foolish birds. Ended up walking an hour to the nearest open tube station, hopping on the train home, and celebrating New Years alone, on an empty tube carriage, heralded in by my phone alarm whilst I read a book about a paedophile (Lolita). Huzzah!
