Leaving Yesterday
I was contemplating on writing a "year in review" post putting a title of "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". I already knew it was going to be majority a downer looking back at the year that I have had. 2008 was just a bust. There was a weekend in April that I experienced both a highest of high and a lowest of low followed by sometime in September. It sucked big time that I couldn't wait for this year to be over. I couldn't wait for the clock to strike at midnight so I can finally put 2008 behind me, close that chapter. Start 2009 with a clean slate.
However, I realized as I was writing "The Good" that I didn't want my last posts for the year 2008 to be downers or depressing despite it being such. Instead of rehashing everything that was bad for me this year, bringing me back to those times I am going to look at it as a "cup half-full" rather than "half-empty". I am glad I started with the things that made me happy..the good things for this year rather than with the bad. I realized that sure 2008 wasn't the best but there are still so many things that I am thankful for this year. Confining myself into thinking about the bad ones is for me devaluing the good things. So, I am not going to talk about the bad things anymore. When the clock strikes at midnight on December 31, I will just put the bad things behind me, leave it to yesterday but bring along the good ones, just the good ones and let those grow and flourish come 2009.
Oh a bad one worth mentioning though is Firefox 3.0.5 or whatever it is is not working for me. I want my 2.0 back.
On that note, I remember this song by Keno back in the 80's aptly titled "Leaving Yesterday Behind" that pretty much sums up my attitude towards 2008 from now on.
Since you left me,
I never really tried
To put my life to where it should belong
And I've always let the past gone by
'm realizing that it could be wrong
But now I fin'lly knew
I had to let it go
To make way for a brighter tomorrow
So now I'm leavin' yesterday behind
And fin'lly I've made up my mind
So let the mem'ries stay away
And think about today
I'm leavin' yesterday behind '
Cause now I'll try to live my life once more
The way I did before
Since I know that I never will forget
The memories that made my yesterday
I will try not to let it interfere
The choices I will make along the way
Refrain:
'Cause I'm not livin' in a world of fantasy
I'm here now in the world of reality
Chorus:
So now I'm leavin' yesterday behind
And fin'lly I've made up my mind
So let the mem'ries stay away
And think about today I'm leavin' yesterday behind
'Cause now I'll try to live my life once more
The way I did before

The irony of all ironies
US anti-kidnapping expert kidnapped in Mexico
I know that this is no laughing matter but I couldn't help but laugh when I read about it. Talk about the mother of all ironies. If that wasn't enough, his purpose of being in Mexico was to give advice on abductions for ransom. But there is a serious matter that needs to be pointed out here, if he wasn't safe from kidnappers what more us, ordinary, common folks. It makes you think and couldn't help but be fearful.

Keep it simple
Woman swept to death during proposal at a rock in Oregon.
A couple..a proposal...a bride-to-be literally swept off her feet
When I first read about it I thought it was an urban legend or a hoax. It was just so bizarre to be true but it is. Its one of those stories that takes time to really digest and understand but it happened. Its just so tragic that what was supposed to be a romantic and happy event turned to be something so tragic.
It really just shows you how unpredictable life is and how short it can be as well. I guess we just really should make the most of whatever time we have.
