Let old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind...

 

We made it!

One of the worst years in memory is over.  Today’s a fresh start.  We promise a full recap of New Year’s Eve in Boystown once we wake up sometime this morning, or afternoon, or maybe tomorrow.  Depends on how much fun the New Year’s was.  

As we start 2010, we’d like you to consider doing something special today:  reach out to someone you are estranged from.  It’s a new year, why not reconnect?  ”I’m sorry” are two tough words to say, but a joy to hear.  Even if you’re not the one who’s wrong, even if you’re not even sorry, we bet you are the stronger and bigger person in the dynamic.  Someone has to take the first step towards forgiveness and reconciliation.  Fair or not, it looks like that someone has to be you. 

Things in this country are going to get a lot worse before they get any better.  You are going to need friends and allies like never before in the coming years.  People are going to need you too.  So, why not put aside those old grievances, and take the “Auld Lang Syne” to heart?

Even if you are rebuffed.  Even if someone won’t take your call.  Call ‘em anyway.  Tell ‘em we said hi.  Blame us for the awkwardness if you want (’cause we sure enough get blamed for just about everything else that happens).  ”I know you are mad, and I didn’t want to call, but those damn gay guys in Chicago at HillBuzz, those damn Hillary guys in Boystown, told me I needed to call you, so here I am.”

And no “Louella Apologies” either, where you bitterly screech something like, “I’m sorry you feel that way”, “I’m sorry you are mad,” or “I’m sorry I got caught and you were able to prove what I did”. 

The love and compassion you show towards others today, on this first day of the year, will set your tone for all of 2010.  The love you put out there today will come back to you tenfold, but only if you open your hearts to it. 

2010 is going to be a year of hard work and sacrifice.  We wish we could sugarcoat that for you, but it’s true.  Those of us that love this country are up against horrible odds, with a White House and Congress, not to mention the entire Liberal-Socialist Democrat Party, seemingly bent on America’s destruction. 

We’re ALL going to need all the friends we can get…all the support we can muster…and all the positivity we can send out there. 

Today is a holiday of rest, reflection, and renewal.  Tomorrow begins again the hard work to take this country back. 

As always, we wish you the very best today…and can’t wait to hear what you’ve planned, what changes you’ll make, and what you are working towards in 2010.
