2015
No 2014 for reasons. I think they had to do with severe depression.
2013
2012
2011
2010
I skipped a lot of years

- Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I volunteered for a political campaign in an active role. I saw the Grand Canyon. I visited Disneyland. I drove up US 101. I made it to Seattle.
No. I didn't really have resolutions.
A couple of cousins.
Yes. Who didn't die?
No countries, but added New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Washington state to my list of states visited.
I don't know. More space.
We're fucked forever. The deaths. SO MANY DEATHS.
I road-tripped with my parents and nobody died.
Donald Trump will be President. I tried to stop it. I volunteered for Clinton. I donated to Clinton's campaign. I phone banked. It wasn't enough.
No.
I bought a tour of wine country. That was freaking awesome.
Nobody's.
The fascists. And all the dying.
Magic: The Moneypit and my amateur radio habit.
Football. And then the University of Texas at Austin crushed my hopes. Now I need to buy a nuclear bomb to detonate on Austin.
You know, I really didn't do much *new* music. But instead, I saw original-lineup Black Sabbath life.
i. happier or sadder? Sadder
ii. thinner or fatter? About the same.
iii. richer or poorer? Richer.
Anhedonia means never having fun again.
Just plain stupid stuff.
With family in Nacogdoches.
The same way I always spend New Year's.
This kind of thing does not happen to me.
This kind of thing really does not happen to me.
I still don't watch much teevee.
Everybody that voted Trump. Fuck you, you fucking fascists.
I didn't do much reading, oddly.
I didn't make many musical discoveries.
A bunch of stuff.
A female president.
Star Wars, man. Star Wars.
32. I don't remember.
Fewer deaths. The fascists getting hoisted on their own petard.
Lol. Fashion.
Board games.
That's not something that happens to me.
Stopping Trump. Fuck.
Who didn't I miss?
Eh.
Life sucks and then you die, so fuck the world.
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall to wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural, religiously unkind
Oh no love! You're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no love! You're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful
Oh gimme your hands
RIP, Bowie.
