It is nearing the end of the year and while many people find sadness or mixed feelings at the thought of time passing in such a final way I think it is important to remember how boring life would be if time did not pass at all. To never change, never learn, how horrible a fate that would be? If asked I am sure most people would admit to wanting eternal youth, eternal life (not the dead kind either). To remain in such an unchanging state, especially if the rest of the word was not following the same path, to have to watch everything like you were stuck in a picture, hands pressed up against the canvas wall, man that is probably what hell is like.
Truthfully this post was supposed to be about year end book lists and the great list I was able to compile to be added to the TBR/TBL archive that sits stuck up on my refrigerator. (It's a great list by the way, looks like loads of great books to be requested from the library.)
Even though there are still a few days left before we need to consider the coming new year I want to wish it a very happy arrival. Picture it on a plane that is landing. We're all standing on the runway (obviously it is one of those 2 prop death mobiles you have to walk to...brave new year).

That is a brave new year. You're the one that read all the dante books about hell, being trapped in place without moving or changing, that is the tenth circle of hell. Oh, and by the way, Merry Christmas!
