The Beginning of an End

Note, it says AN end, not THE end. Because the end comes at different times for different things. For example, the end of Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign for world emperor-ship ended quite a long time after the end of those poor dinosaurs, who could no longer function in an environment that did not have the over-hanging water shield of sorts that gave them the humid antediluvian environment in which they thrived.

I thought it would be fitting to end this year with a post, seeing as I haven't been posting at all lately--school, life outside the Internet, my parents finally enforced their "no-Internet-until-we-get-home" rule with a changed password, take your pick. (although I still personally blame procrastination)

I've discovered the magic of allowing the desktop picture to change! Apparently this is also better for the pixels of your computer screen or something, because it allows them to give different areas of your monitor different brightness levels, or something. That did not come out as literate as it sounded in my head. Ahem, moving on...

2011 is almost here! Or is here already, depending on when this post is read. We have almost completed another revolution (is that the correct term?)/orbit around the sun! Huzzah! We must forget all of the bad things that people have done to us, and focus on trying to build bridges, clean up the environment, and hopefully do something BIG so that the poverty issue in environmentally-threatened areas of the world will be greatly diminished. For people, in the end, are more important than the trees, even though they are of immense import to our ecosystems.

But most important of all is their souls, for it does truly matter what you believe in, and no, we are not random bits of matter left over from a cosmic accident.

With that cheery thought in mind, I just want to wish the entire hemisphere of the world a happy new year's eve! See you in the year of TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN YEARS AFTER THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW DAYS/SECONDS/MONTHS!
