The New Year

A while back, I was in RI for some shit. So as I was strolling leisurely through the school compound, some parent approached me and asked, " May I know where is the school bookshop?" Being the nice guy that I am, instead of saying "i don't know" as I suspect most of you would have done, I helpfully pointed to the fenced-up area that was the bookshop and said, "There. It's being demolished." Indeed, I was so convincing that he was left in no doubt that he had wasted his journey to buy books for his son. In fact I saw him driving off immediately and I even waved to show my friendliness.

Only later did I find out that the sale of books was going on in the classrooms. but that was later. I helped him to the best of my abilities. And actually, it wasn't an honest mistake because it wasn't a mistake in the first place. He asked for the bookshop and I told him. Maybe it just didn't occur to him that books don't necessarily have to be sold out of bookshops. So there.

As is customary for the new year, I have to make some New Year resolutions. But it's so hard to do since I'm perfect. When you're perfect, you don't need to resolve to do anything. So let tell you about my resolution last year instead, when I wasn't perfect yet. I resolved to be calm and composed all the time and not let anything surprise me. But one thing did, and that was when a certain yearhead got married.

I didn't know what the new year is going to bring, so as usual when I don't have the answer to anything, I search for it on wikipedia.org. And I found out that the New Year isn't what you think it is. It's not called 2006 and it does not consist of 365 days. Accoring to wikipedia "The New Year is a rock band, formed in 1999". I hate all rock bands, so I must say I hate the new year. The only thing that rocks the world in my opinion are earthquakes and tsunamis.

Happy New Year, everyone!
