A better harder year

So we blog... cause that's what we do.

Not nearly enough logic there - admittedly, it sounded better in my head -, but still a valid point in a pre-bubbly state-of-mind. Indeed, we blog. We all come up with stuff. I might be the champion of randomness by now... so I put the internet and the cable out of their mediated miserary in 2008. See the logic there? I meant the intrinsic logic of trying hard not to try at all, but hope hard, instead, that Life will bestow upon me whatever it is that I might want. I make simbolic sacrifices. But lo the martyr fails yet again to hit its target.

Of all the random stuff, what's appropriate for New Year's Eve, other than happy you know what?

So happy 2009! Yes, it will be great! Obviously, it will be amazing. Comparative Politics will still be as trivial as blogging and as scientific as common sense. In keeping with tradition (yes! yes! yes!) it will provide much fodder for our every day "news" dealers, dear leaders' speeches and certified opinion-makers. A grand year, crisis notwithstanding. A critical year, I would say.

And yes, hope. Hope that I can try harder!
