You will keep writing 2010 for a week or so.

It's a new year now, in case you missed it.

I know its largely symbolic but I really like New Years. I like resolutions, I like champagne and toasts at midnight and watching the ball drop. I even like that song 'Auld Lang Syne' despite the fact that I really have no clue what it's about, what most of the words are, or if it's even in English. I know most of it is, but you look at the title and wonder. If it is English, I think it's from that time that people wrote their Ss like Fs.

Here's what I'm sure of: Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? should old acquaintance be forgot and something auld lang syne? After this, it kind of slips into a sort of haze. What I do is just sing the first bit over again, but with a different inflection to match the music. It's that same tone you use when you're concerned and asking a question, like "hey guys, is that supposed to be on fire?"

You can tell this song was from a time before the internet, because they leave the question hanging there and don't give you an answer. Google and Wikipedia mean that you no longer have an excuse for not knowing stuff. You can't just ask a question like "do you think they make banana yogurt?", and just leave it out in the open, unanswered. Most people's phones have the internet, so you can actually receive that useless fact as soon as you have curiosity about anything in the world.Because of our internetted society, I think the chorus to Auld Lang Syne should be changed to something like this:
I looked it up on my iPhone
the answer's "join in revelry"
And in the morn' when I wake up
I'll Google "hangover remedy"
