Livers are evil... and therefore must be punished!

It's a new year, can you actually fucking believe it?! I know I am still struggling to come to terms with this small yet rather significant fact. The scary thing is that everyone keeps telling me the older I get the faster the years are going to roll on by - which I suppose is really wonderful news for the very senior senior citizens who are, in effect, living on borrowed time. But for me, this is just plain depressing... Basically what people are telling me is that as I walk the line to becoming a fully fledged G one day, the walk is either gonna get faster or the line a helluva lot shorter, mmmm....

Which has lead to me the conclusion that you might as well enjoy every step you take. And yes, this means totally over-indulging during the festive season - might as well welcome the new year in with a bang ;) Besides, my liver is an evil little devil and therefore, from time to time, must be reminded who is boss. Now if I could just rid myself of the guilt I feel for this punishment then maybe I wouldn't be sitting here, one week into 2008, booze free for the month of January.

Whoever invented the word "detox" should be shot!

Oh and what is it with everyone and making new year resolutions??? I personally find this to be the most pointless exercise around. Nobody keeps them. And if you are resolution inclined, why not make easy ones like "I will not be a complete knob this year" etc. That way you are sure to keep them (us humans love the easy stuff) which means you'll be a fucking ray of sunshine bursting with pride at your newly achieved objective and the rest of us sods who couldn't really give a fuck won't have to listen to you whine about it in the first place... it's just simple mathematics people.
