    Every fucking year someone gives me a new year with a lot of promises how good the new year will be. But the only sure thing is, I’m getting older.

    I could have gotten a slightly used 1996, but nooo, I got a new 2026.

      I can’t remember the exact line, but there’s a scene in "Groundhog Day’ where he’s in a bar and has just run five racks of pool. "I once had a vacation in the Bahamas. I swam, ate lobster for lunch, and had a date with a stewardess. Why can’t I relive that day over and over.?

      Sure, things haven’t been that great over the last few years, but this year will be different. You’ll see!

        I’m taking this as a promise, non-ironically. I just want it to be true.
