2009 On the Mind.

What?  Two Thousand Nine?  Where did THAT come from??

To explain my befuddled state, let me ask you first how the past twelve months have been for you.  Were they full of awesome?  Were they drenched in sorrow?  Answer one or the other – Dr. Landon has no time for grey areas!

Okay, now that you have decided, I will reveal that I don’t actually have much interest in the way you spent 2008… that is to say it isn’t the pressing matter. What I AM curious about is your personal notion of time ‘flying by’.  Does it seem like Easter was just last week? Do you remember Halloween like it was just yesterday?  Odd stuff…

I have asked a few people about this phenomenon, and while most of them are winos sleeping in the alley behind my house, I still value the input.  Overall, most folk are saying that 2008 really did seem like a ‘fast year’.  Who do we blame?  The internet? Russia? Our own fragile minds for constantly teetering on that precipice between waking life and balls-to-the-wall psychosis?  Probably all three.

So that’s that, fellow lunatics.  Time seems to be a constant, but the way we perceive it feels pretty damn awkward, like trying to teach a baby moose how to walk.  It seems natural, but just feels like a job better suited for someone more qualified.

Enjoy your 2009!
