All the reasons why I hated and will always hate 2007

In a matter of hours, the year 2007 will come to a close. It's been a hard year, a bad year, a cruel year. So here are the reasons why I hated and will always hate 2007.

1. I lost my dearest Almond. With her gone, a light within me was extinguished, at least in this existence. Things will never be the same. Or really good again. Then again, all that started in 2005, with the loss of Boobie.

2. I was unproductive. I produced nothing of real value this year.

3. I was hospitalized for eight days. It put a drain on just about everyone's resources.

4. I had no new clients.

5. I barely earned. It's a miracle (or a curse?) that I even survived this year.

6. I quit drinking. Without the oblivion of hard drink, the pain has become so much worse.

So here's to this awful year ending. The problems kept coming; even now as the year's about to end, they still do.

2007, I flush you down the septic tank. You were unusually cruel.
