For the new year I drew a line, a threshold. Across it laid a resolute new life, an improved self. Today, alas, the line remains uncrossed, resolutions unfulfilled, and so it goes. I've been dwelling on this lately, brooding, feeling bristly and lazy, worn down by work and clutter. And so, sitting on my ass in front of the computer, thinking about writing something, I downloaded some songs off Saidthegramaphone. The posts made no mention of doing right by yourself or avoiding the new years doldrums, but the songs themselves exhorted me to act. "Opportunity strikes not twice but once." Also: "The time is now. Improve yourself." Coinicidence? Providence? I better get moving.
